No wonder teachers bowed to the great one. Their class on basket weaving would have gotten cut, if it wasn’t for “the One”.

“Saving” union jobs is a political strategy. Dependency is a powerful narcotic to the unprincipled.

Obama is pulling planks below the waterline to build chairs for favored ones up on the deck. As water pours in from the holes he made, he is paraded around on top as if he is some sort of a genius.

Your article is a little misleading. I believe only about 14% or 84B has been spent so far. Still that comes to 140 thousand per job created/saved. Still a huge waste of money!

I would assume there are some overhead dollars for those jobs saved/created; there’s more to creating jobs than just paying salaries. Equipment, land, rent, supplies, insurance, etc. The money spent for these other expenses help create/save jobs as well. So I’m not sure it’s fair to do the math that’s being done here. I would think it would be very difficult to measure, but hopefully the money is being spread among many people, and not just a few crazy bonuses for executives.

>>> I would assume
Always a weak way to start off a flawed argument.

Please Don, stop insulting me with your irrelevant american jobs saved/created analysis. It’s a bit early for your attempts at distorting the economic recovery.
Come back in 2 or 3 years when most of the world’s economies have been rescued from the brink of depression and thank this administration for saving everyone in the world from a much worse scenario than what could have been.

“..thank this administration for saving everyone in the world..”
Remember that dimplecheeck comment after the upcoming crisis/collapse and 0boma runs to the UN and requests that they bail out America.

I thought the stimulus package was going to collapse the worlds economies, or was it the bank bailout? Or was it the auto industry takeover?
Remember when we heard shreeks about the US government takeover of Chrysler & GM and running them into the ground?

Ford is doing really, really well. Could it be because the government is not telling them what kind of crappy cars to make?

The recovery, to this point, is jobless, with unemployment increasing.
Companies have created profitability by increasing productivity and reducing overhead (employees). Nothing........nothing to do with the stimulus.
