How many jobs?

[moonpuppy]

Just how many jobs will be created with this massive unprecedented spending? How many jobs will it take to pay back the money we don't have?

Stimulus benefits big - and small

President Obama may have been thinking big with his $787 billion stimulus package, but his counterparts in local government are thinking decidedly small.

As local cities and counties put together their applications for some of their first tastes of stimulus money, they've come up with block grant applications where the typical project costs less than $250,000.

The city of Covington, for example, has broken down its line items as small as $1,650 each - to replace 117 curb ramps in the neighborhood around Decoursey and Winston avenues, to make them handicapped-accessible.

OK, fine, we fix all this stuff and have rampent taxation to cover the bill. The jobs are done now what? Those people are fired again because there's no work because of the high taxes stifling the economy.

Cincinnati is giving out grants as small as $8,556 for a program to prevent teen pregnancy and violence.

Just how many jobs will be created with this money??? Oh but South Carolina can't pay off some debt but you can fund some abortions.

I just read where Mrs. Obama said she creates jobs everytime she goes somewhere. She said when she takes her kids to the plays that means the play will become more popular and last longer. I almost laughed knowing how ignorant a very book smart person can be.

How does a play running longer create jobs That's laughable at best that she even thinks that way...
