Obama’s Economists: ‘Stimulus’ Has Cost $278,000 per Job

Boo Radley said:
The tea party doesn't have any representatives. They have republicans, and republicans did not oppose the bailouts.

For those working, it helped. Here we kept people employed for a couple of years. They appreciated that. So, how much is a job worth? Worth is about how much will you pay for it. I suspect the answer depends a lot on who you ask. Those who kept woking who wouldn't have otherwise might answer differently than you will.

We bailouts voted for after the Tea Party Republicans were elected, or before?

Isn't it embarrassing to have voted for DumBO?
That's OK... I'm sure it was well meant, but you can correct this error by supporting DumBO's opposition... today.
It's the American thing to do.

Holy cow who made this asinine calculation, some kid from grammar school? Where are supplies and material factored in. Also, the value of the output.

Republicans most assuredly opposed the The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. No Republican Representatives and only two Republican Senators voted for this union cash cow.

You do realize this is merely because they are not in power. Look at their record when in power. Didn't McCain rightly say they spent like drunken sailors? If you accept such blatant pandering, you will be fooled again. :coffeepap

You posted a lot of unneccessary words there. All you had to do was admit you were wrong.

I'm sure we can do a search and find where a few didn't do what was expected, but remember, this isn't the test. The test, as it has always been with republicans (hell all politiicans and parties) is not what they do when not in power, but what they do when in power. Care to stand by the republican history? Hyperbole aside, the fact is both spend and will continue to spend.

Perhaps you should read the words. If you do, you might know what they actually say. ;)

My words were very simple and straight forward, unlike your's.

Are you denying you were wrong when you claimed the Republicans supported the Recovery Act of 2009???

Ahhh, so you admit you wandered off-topic.

And you wonder why people have a hard time understanding what you are talking about..........

It would be helpful if you discussed the topic of the thread, i.e. the Stimulus Bill or the Recovery Act of 2009.

If you want to discuss the bailout bill of 2008, you should start your own thread.

No, I admit you miss the point. Being against democrats doing what you'd do because your not in power is nto equal to any conviction that it shouldn't be done. One way or another, they too would have sponsored a bailout. And we have their past to show. They merely oppose democrats, just as democrats oppose republicans.

You should really try to stay on topic in these threads. When you go off on a wild tangent, it helps no one, especially you.

So, now you claim to be clairvoyent and know what Republicans would have done if they were in power????

And you should try to understand the point so you can address it properly. And it takes no clairvoyence to look at history and predict future performance. I suggest that you demand more than what you have so far before you leap down the path those who believe like have leap down repeatedly, only to still be here. When will you see that you're being played, again. It's not a party thing, as both play the same game (though I do think republicans are better at it.).

I understand the point of the thread is the Stimulus Bill, NOT the Recovery Act, NOT your ASSumptions on how Republicans might vote, and NOT your silly assumptions. Perhaps you should read the OP again so you'll remember the topic of this thread.

Now........ please explain the meaning of this sentence........

If you believe republicans will do differently in power, you're a tool. Nothing more. Not sure i can say it clearer. History informs the future.

I never said they would. You are battling a straw man.

The topic of this thread is the absurd cost of the STIMULUS PACKAGE passed by Obama and the Dems in Congress.

If you wish to discuss the topic of the thread, go ahead and I'll respond. I will not respond any longer to your lame attempts to bait people into off-topic discussions. .

I like the cartoon. What was the cost of materials and machinery used to make it? What was it's value after completed? Did the workers earn enough to buy stuff?

I hope you see the stupidity of this simple calculation, I really do.

I have a moniker -pbrauer- I put my real first name as a convenience on my avatar for those who want to use it, either of those two are acceptable as well as PB. I think petey is demeaning and I won't accept it from you anymore.

I don't have an actual number, but the calculation by the Weekly Standard is stupid. I am surprised anyone buys that junk, they must think their readers don't have a functioning brain. :coffeepap

So you have no rebuttal other than "it's stupid". How can anyone argue with that? :lamo
 
$278,000 per job..........

......not enough to get a peep of outrage from the Left......some of them still sing their PORKULUS praises to boot.....

$500,000 per job....?

$1,000,000 per job....?

$ One Billion dollars.....per job......?

....I wonder what amount it would take for Democrats to show just a little outrage......maybe question their political beliefs in the complete lie and utter fraud that is Liberalism.
