Is the amount of Jobs created by Stimulus Plan, immaterial, considering how much money is being spent?
For example...
I was watching CNN Tuesday...
Sen Brown from Massachusetts commented that stimulus plan is not doing much.
A white house aide working with Vice Pres Joe Bidden said that 8.7 billion was spent in Massachusetts and over 9,000 jobs were created...
eh what?!
That is $966,666 dollars spent to create what?? Temporary jobs, or are they even new jobs meaning are they just jobs that were saved???
So the American Govt spends 1 million dollars to create a job. The workers gets paid at most 50-60K and would likely would not be buying new products as he would be thankful that he or she has a job.
Really, I understand that the money is being spent to repair infrastructure and that is all good.
However for the Obama to say it is saving the American economy is silly. The amount of jobs being created is pretty insignificant compared to all the effort that is being put in.
Like this is the kind of spending Obama should stop, because the debt is reaching terrifying heights and the rate Obama is spending... It will likely be more than the total GDP of the country.
