so it appears while our economy is losing 600,000 job a week, our "Stimulus" plan will be spending 787 billion to create 1 weeks worth of lost jobs (600,000). but OOOOPS its seems 125K of those jobs will be summer jobs. the kind that high school kids usually get.

so if my math is correct that is $131,166.000 PER JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOW I am SOOO glad we have Politicians pretending to be buisness men.

these guys are staring to piss me off like a bus load of illegal immigrants

Quote:

The administration decided to renew support for the $787 billion recovery plan by accelerating the release of funds from federal agencies. Money will be tapped to open up health centers, increase airport construction, keep teachers and law enforcement employed and make available 125,000 "summer youth jobs."

As long as the media is willing to let him claim to have "saved jobs" the number of jobs lost will have no meaning since he can simply say it would have been worse without his heroic efforts.

For eight years we heard every attempt at spin by the Bush White House shredded by the relentless champions of the people and the media and pop culture took no time off ridiculing any attempt by team Bush to put a happy face the results of their policy.
One would think, from listening to the left for eight years, that once they got in power they would finally bring us integrity and honor to the process. They loudly boasted to deliver at least that much and Obama himself ran completely on the single mantra of Change we can believe in"...

Well listen to them now!

Goes to show, the old Roosevelt fix may not apply to the new economic global reality. That's what the Dems are forgetting about, it's not just a U.S. problem now. It's going to take a global effort.

As for Bush, his tax reforms didn't do much to help either during his eight years, unless you were already rich, then you made out like a banshee, but it got progressively worse for the average wage slave during his tenure. Can you see a pattern here?

Your own link contradicts you:

The link wrote:

He stressed the fact that the number of jobs lost in May -- 345,000 -- was far less than in prior months

Which is 11,500 a day, or 80,500 a week.

Aside from the mistake you made above, you're assuming that the entire stimulus plan will be spent during the summer, which won't be the case. Here is a link that I quickly google'd that shows that only 6% had been spent by mid-May:
http://www.outsidethebeltway.com/archives/very_little_stimulus_spending_so_far/
Since your link says that they will be upping the spending, we will see it increasing past 6%, but there is no reason to think it will be close to 100%.

So essentially it isn't even close.

True. Though by his own numbers, he's hurt about as much as he thought he'd help. So he's clearly done something wrong . . .

[woodchip]

Here's the real laugher. When ever unemployment figures were better than expected, the Libs and their media pets always came up with reasons why the figure were bad.

To wham bam thank you mam the stimulus bill through congress, Obama and friends said the stimulus bill was needed to keep the unemployment at 8% or less. So like good sheeples, congress passed the Porkulus Bill.
So what do we have today? 9.4% unemployment. And where are the same media hucksters today that complained about unemployment figures back in Bush's era? Why we have these kind of deeply inciteful stories:

"These jobless folks, usually singles in their 20s and 30s, find that life without work agrees with them. Instead of punching the clock, they're hitting the beach."

Next step is to start printing more money and Jimmy Carter years, here we come.

Well it isn't
$1,311,666.667 per job would be a better approximation, but who really cares about a factor of ten...

Yeah I agree that's ludicrous, and someone with any amount with common sense would agree.
