CBO: Jobs Created and Saved By Stimulus Cost At Minimum An Average of $228,055 Each

http://cnsnews.com/news/article/cbo-jobs-created-and-saved-stimulus-cost

That's if you believe the crap that 'Stimulus' saved 3.5 million jobs. If you believe the CBO's more conservative estimate of 1.5 million jobs 'saved', it woulf be $547,333 per job. WTH, it only cost each taxpaying household $20,525. And think of all the good it did for Obama's homies. And China is happy to loan us the money. It makes it just that much easier form them to take over.

    Sounds like a bargain to me!

    I particularly love the term 'jobs created OR SAVED.'

    How in the heck do you figure out a realistic number of jobs that were saved?

    A huge steaming pile of crap is what it is.

    If I had to, I guess I would be wlling to work for $228,055 a year, but I would really prefer the $547,333 per year. The thing is, I would deserve at least $800,000 per year year as I'm at least 50% better than the average employee. Any takers?

    I should add that I would expect excellant paid for benefits. I don't think I should have to pay for my medical/dental plan.

    Sorry, but the $500 grand doesn't give you a job, it only 'saves' the one you have. We're still waiting for an explaination how that works, and who gets the $500 grand.

    Any business that cannot sustain itself will fail and you cannot have a successful economy when most of the businesses are sustained by government funding.

    OK, if some of those jobs were for 8 hours work, I would be willing to work that 8 hours for $228,055. But who will pay for my benefits?
