Obama Predicts: His Plan Will Cost $235,263 Per Job By Fred Lucas September 16, 2011

(CNSNews.com) - President Barack Obama said at a fundraiser held in a private residence in Washington, D.C., on Thursday evening that the $447 billion American Jobs Act he has proposed will create 1.9 million American jobs—which works out to a cost of about $235,263 per job.

“It’s estimated that the American Jobs Act would add two percentage points to the GDP, and add as many as 1.9 million jobs, and bring the unemployment rate down by a full percentage point,” Obama said, according to the official White House transcript of his remarks.

If you us the government’s own numbers, you could deport 10 illegals for the same amount.

He's improving. The last stimulus cost us 262 thousand per job (that is if you buy his bilgewater about it creating/saving 3 million jobs)

Government created jobs are a myth. All government can do is create more government, not jobs.

"Okay, latest estimate for total jobs to be created coming up in a second!"

So, that would make everyone who gets a job under ObamaJobs a millionaire and therefore, Obama will be able to tax the hell out of them because they will become part of "the rich". What a sly dog.

Just hire 1.9 million out of work citizens and pay each person $500 a week to pick up litter and dog poop, sweep sidewalks, shovel out storm drains, pull up weeds, wash police cars and ambulances, and dig bodies, tires and old refrigerators out of waterways.

Ar $500 a week the $235,263 per person will keep each person employed for a little longer than 9 years at $26,000 a year.

That is a heck of a lot longer than any of the jobs Obama creates will last.

Why should any job cost money?

[wiggen]

There will always have to be some govt jobs which will cost. We just have too damn many of them. Businesses scale back while the beast we call government just grows and grows.

Danged decimal points!

[NoLibZone]

I hope his kidneys fail.

BA da bing.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Leave that money with the people who earned it and they'll create twenty new jobs.

But there is no consolidation of power in that.

[linn37]

Impossible he said it wouldn’t cost us a dime.
