Uh, huh. How many “permanent” jobs did the $787B stimulus bill create?

152 jobs when you count the union stewards who needed to be hire to protect the 51 teachers and local fireman workers. You need to remember that they planed on the 51 workers loosing their jobs after the stimulus money ran out.. then they would need the 100 stewards to file grievances for teachers and fireman loosing their jobs.....

The horror, the horror...

Exactly my thought. Daughter visiting from another state. I was telling her about a main road in our community that a good amount of stimulus money was used to plant trees and shrubs. Those jobs redefined “short term” jobs. Maybe weeks if that!!! Keystone Pipeline will create good paying jobs for at least several years. Why is that so bad?
