If the “stimulus plan” cost the U.S. taxpayer 787 billion dollars and only generated 25 thousand jobs, did we get our moneys worth? I know, you’re saying; But Gary, we created 30 thousand jobs.” Well, no we didn’t, the Associated Press reported;”The AP review found some counts were more than 10 times as high as the actual number of jobs; some jobs credited to the stimulus program were counted two and sometimes more than four times; and other jobs were credited to stimulus spending when none was produced.” They concluded we generated MAYBE 25,000. But lets do the math.. let’s see, we have 787 billion in to 25 thousand. I get about 31,480,000 dollars per job! Well, that’s stimulating, ain’t it?!
Was it worth it?
