Have you heard much about President Obamas $787,000,000,000 economic stimulus (now estimated to cost $831,000,000,000) lately?
the presidents own Council of Economic Advisors released an estimate showing that, for every $317,000 in stimulus spending that had by then gone out the door, only one job had been created or saved. Even in Washington, thats not considered good bang for the buck.
Obama Continues to Violate His Own ?Stimulus? Law by Not Releasing Quarterly Reports | The Weekly Standard
UNF..king believable!!!
I CAN create one job for 1/10th of that amount!
Consider this also...
Assume the new job holder is paid $40,000 and employee and employer now pay govt just in employment taxes 14% or $6,120 a year in payroll taxes.
It will take 51 years to pay back that $317,000!!!
IS THIS totally foolish or WHAT???
