I'm sorry, I was using Nevada's figures by mistake,

and you are using los angelos CALIFORNIA....wasn't it you who posted a thread a while ago on how the cost of living in certain states are so much higher than key southern states in America? the cost of living in California is probably the highest in the nation, and of course they would be on the highest end of salaries....

here is the figure for the average dog catcher/animal control worker in the USA

Average and Median Salaries. The BLS reports that the median salary of an animal control officer was $32,460 per year as of May 2011, and that the middle-earning half of all workers in the field brought home between $25,000 and $42,000 per year

Yea let's compare Obama's almost 1 trillion stimulus to Trump's 1.5 trillion tax cuts shall we?

ok lets -

1. This tax-cut is is 700 billion more than the cost of ACA (870B) over 10 years, and then it grows from there.

2. Stimulus passed in MIDDLE OF GREAT RECESSION. This giveaway to the rich with a side of crumbs to the middle class is in the middle of economic growth.

Obama stimulus almost 1 trillion = $400 dollar one time payment and no shovel ready jobs



Trump's tax cuts = $1000 dollars every year for the next 10 year's


Do the math which helped more?
the 401k tax cut, where the gvt matches what you put in to your 401k up to what you may owe in taxes went on forever....hopefully that tax cut has not been taken away with this new tax cut, it helped the middle class and poorer folks save for their own retirements and encouraged those making less to contribute in to their own retirements....

  • How the $800B stimulus failed
    By Post Staff Report

    January 29, 2012 | 5:00am

    web_taxes-520x320.jpg

    Vice President Joe Biden was eager to get moving. In office for only a month, the Obama administration had already passed a monumental economic stimulus plan to address the biggest downturn since the Great Depression.

    Now, at the first implementation meeting in 2009, Biden — with a smudged Ash Wednesday cross still on his forehead — declared that the stimulus would “literally drop kick us out of the recession.”

    Officially called the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the $800 billion stimulus was the largest economic recovery program in history. Adjusted for inflation, it was nearly five times more expensive than the Works Progress Administration. It was bigger than the Louisiana Purchase, the Manhattan Project, the moon race and the Marshall Plan.

    Economists and nonpartisan forecasting firms estimate that the stimulus created and saved more than 2 million jobs. It generated an unprecedented buzz around clean energy. A relatively small pot of education grants goaded 32 states to enact major reforms, such as tying teacher pay to student performance or lifting caps on charter schools. When the last dime is spent, more than 41,000 miles of roads will be paved, widened and improved; 600,000 low-income homes weatherized; and more than 3,000 rural schools connected to high-speed Internet.

    But despite these achievements, the stimulus ultimately failed to do what America expected it to do — bring about a strong, sustainable recovery. The drop kick was shanked.

    The stimulus was supposed to work like this: First, a flood of money in tax cuts, food stamps and unemployment checks would get consumers spending. A deluge of education and health-care money would stanch the bleeding in state budgets.

    Then, a wave of “shovel-ready” infrastructure projects would kick in, creating new jobs repaving roads and making homes more energy efficient. As the economy got churning again, new investments in wind farms, solar panel factories, electric cars, broadband and high-speed rail would lead America out of the recession and into a 21st century economy competitive with the rest of the world.

    But it didn’t happen like that. The White House’s economists, like nearly every forecaster, misread the recession. The state assistance wasn’t enough to plug the budget holes and, in many cases, the school aid merely delayed rather than prevented teacher layoffs. Infrastructure projects took months longer to break ground than the public had been led to believe.

    In reporting on the stimulus over three years, I traveled to 15 states, interviewed hundreds of people and read through tens of thousands of government documents and project reports.

    What I found is that the stimulus failed to live up to its promise not because it was too small (as those on the left argue) or because Keynesian economics is obsolete (as those on the right argue), but because it was poorly designed. Even advocates for a bigger stimulus need to acknowledge that their argument is really one about design and presentation.

    The swing votes in Congress wouldn’t stomach a stimulus over a trillion dollars. So the questions are: Could the administration have sold the stimulus differently or could Congress have designed a more effective stimulus, leaving room for a second, longer-term recovery bill?

    INVISIBLE HELPING HAND

    One of the biggest problems was that so much of the stimulus was invisible. More than half of the package was in tax cuts and safety net programs.

    The largest single item was a $116 billion tax credit for the middle class. Yet rather than handing out checks, as other presidents had done, Obama dribbled it out in paychecks at about $10 a week. The economic team believed that people were more likely to spend it if it felt like an increase in income rather than a bonus.

    Perhaps that would have worked if the tax cut had been substantial. But spread out in tiny increments, it did little to overcome the prevailing fear of losing a job, a home and years of retirement savings. Not only did Obama lose the political credit but also the consumer excitement that a large check would have provided.

    It was also difficult to imagine the world that might have been if there had been no stimulus. If a teacher was in the classroom, no one gave the administration any credit. Money for Medicaid, unemployment checks and food stamps meant that somewhere down the line, a nurse and a grocery clerk kept their jobs. But it was hard to see the connection.

    The administration did little to help, instead showing off infrastructure projects that hadn’t started yet and creating the wrong impression that the stimulus was largely a public-works package.

    Even as the stimulus was pumping hundreds of billions of dollars into the economy in its first year, it appeared as if nothing was happening. The jobless rate skyrocketed, easily exceeding the poorly conceived chart Obama’s economic advisers had put together, showing that unemployment would never

Yes bear513 And given the population in LA is the size of the top cities in TX combined, maybe they need to pay ppl more to work that kind of job in LA!

No problem with holding states accountable to their citizens. But that should come from the citizens protesting high taxes not from federal govt regulating either ppl or states without consent .

This should be resolved directly between people, states and federal govt, not forced on ppl without a democratic process of coming to agreement on terms

In my area the so called dog catchers/animal control workers are important....they remove bears and coyotes and wolves from your neighborhood and place them somewhere else in the Maine Woods! They will even remove skunk colonies and put them in other places away from your home!!! Or maybe they kill the skunks, I don't know, I didn't ask on them.... but the nuisance bears and other wild nuisances, they will catch and move them! so they really are not primarily, dog catchers here.... animal control also makes certain no one is poaching in off season and stuff like that....

    Vice President Joe Biden was eager to get moving. In office for only a month, the Obama administration had already passed a monumental economic stimulus plan to address the biggest downturn since the Great Depression.

    Now, at the first implementation meeting in 2009, Biden — with a smudged Ash Wednesday cross still on his forehead — declared that the stimulus would “literally drop kick us out of the recession.”

    Officially called the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the $800 billion stimulus was the largest economic recovery program in history. Adjusted for inflation, it was nearly five times more expensive than the Works Progress Administration. It was bigger than the Louisiana Purchase, the Manhattan Project, the moon race and the Marshall Plan.

    Economists and nonpartisan forecasting firms estimate that the stimulus created and saved more than 2 million jobs. It generated an unprecedented buzz around clean energy. A relatively small pot of education grants goaded 32 states to enact major reforms, such as tying teacher pay to student performance or lifting caps on charter schools. When the last dime is spent, more than 41,000 miles of roads will be paved, widened and improved; 600,000 low-income homes weatherized; and more than 3,000 rural schools connected to high-speed Internet.

    But despite these achievements, the stimulus ultimately failed to do what America expected it to do — bring about a strong, sustainable recovery. The drop kick was shanked.

    The stimulus was supposed to work like this: First, a flood of money in tax cuts, food stamps and unemployment checks would get consumers spending. A deluge of education and health-care money would stanch the bleeding in state budgets.

    Then, a wave of “shovel-ready” infrastructure projects would kick in, creating new jobs repaving roads and making homes more energy efficient. As the economy got churning again, new investments in wind farms, solar panel factories, electric cars, broadband and high-speed rail would lead America out of the recession and into a 21st century economy competitive with the rest of the world.

    But it didn’t happen like that. The White House’s economists, like nearly every forecaster, misread the recession. The state assistance wasn’t enough to plug the budget holes and, in many cases, the school aid merely delayed rather than prevented teacher layoffs. Infrastructure projects took months longer to break ground than the public had been led to believe.

    In reporting on the stimulus over three years, I traveled to 15 states, interviewed hundreds of people and read through tens of thousands of government documents and project reports.

    What I found is that the stimulus failed to live up to its promise not because it was too small (as those on the left argue) or because Keynesian economics is obsolete (as those on the right argue), but because it was poorly designed. Even advocates for a bigger stimulus need to acknowledge that their argument is really one about design and presentation.

    The swing votes in Congress wouldn’t stomach a stimulus over a trillion dollars. So the questions are: Could the administration have sold the stimulus differently or could Congress have designed a more effective stimulus, leaving room for a second, longer-term recovery bill?

    INVISIBLE HELPING HAND

    One of the biggest problems was that so much of the stimulus was invisible. More than half of the package was in tax cuts and safety net programs.

    The largest single item was a $116 billion tax credit for the middle class. Yet rather than handing out checks, as other presidents had done, Obama dribbled it out in paychecks at about $10 a week. The economic team believed that people were more likely to spend it if it felt like an increase in income rather than a bonus.

    Perhaps that would have worked if the tax cut had been substantial. But spread out in tiny increments, it did little to overcome the prevailing fear of losing a job, a home and years of retirement savings. Not only did Obama lose the political credit but also the consumer excitement that a large check would have provided.

    It was also difficult to imagine the world that might have been if there had been no stimulus. If a teacher was in the classroom, no one gave the administration any credit. Money for Medicaid, unemployment checks and food stamps meant that somewhere down the line, a nurse and a grocery clerk kept their jobs. But it was hard to see the connection.

    The administration did little to help, instead showing off infrastructure projects that hadn’t started yet and creating the wrong impression that the stimulus was largely a public-works package.

    Even as the stimulus was pumping hundreds of billions of dollars into the economy in its first year, it appeared as if nothing was happening. The jobless rate skyrocketed, easily exceeding the poorly conceived chart Obama’s economic advisers had put together, showing that unemployment would never

Any questions?

Yea read a fucking US history book an educate yourself why....

Here is what is in history books:

Stimulus helped grow economy by 1-3% annually and create 2-3 million jobs coming out of the deepest recession in modern history. It's implementation was followed by 8 years of steady growth.

I'm sorry, I was using Nevada's figures by mistake,

and you are using los angelos CALIFORNIA....wasn't it you who posted a thread a while ago on how the cost of living in certain states are so much higher than key southern states in America? the cost of living in California is probably the highest in the nation, and of course they would be on the highest end of salaries....

here is the figure for the average dog catcher/animal control worker in the USA

In my area the so called dog catchers/animal control workers are important....they remove bears and coyotes and wolves from your neighborhood and place them somewhere else in the Maine Woods! They will even remove skunk colonies and put them in other places away from your home!!! Or maybe they kill the skunks, I don't know, I didn't ask on them.... but the nuisance bears and other wild nuisances, they will catch and move them! so they really are not primarily, dog catchers here.... animal control also makes certain no one is poaching in off season and stuff like that....
