If the porkulus bill saved or created 600,000 as claimed that's $750,000,000,000.00 divided by 600,000 = One Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand a job.

In government-speak, a bargain.

I hear ya. I guess the real question should be whether or not these actions are planting the seeds for further hiring or just one trick ponies. Thats the problem with some of it. Once the project is completed will there be more. If not, where did that get us. If it's a subsidized program thats funding will disappear at some point, what happens when the individual state is now fiscally responsible for maintaining it? I am hopeful that Obama really has some meat in this latest one that will promote private sector growth. If we don't have that soon, we are going to be in heap big trouble.
