"86,000 per job. pretty goood if ya ask me"
Almost $93,000.00 per job, according to my math. No mention of average salary, length of program or any other objective measure. Also, being a research program, I have my doubts as to whether the initial "investment" will cover ongoing research expenditures.
The US could "create" a job paying $93,000.00 per year for every citizen of working age for a "mere" $1.86 trillion per year. Ain't that something? Trouble is, the beneficiaries of all these jobs are also the ones who pay for it, so it's a less-than-zero-sum game, once the inevitable bureaucratic bloat attaches itself to the cashflow.
