According to the news reports, the Congressional Democrats have conferred and have agreed on a stimulus bill which will spend $789,000,000,000.00 to create 3.5 million jobs. That comes to - - um - - better double check that - - nope, it's right: $225,428.57 per job! Hey, I have an idea that will save America $394 billion . . .

Thanks - - wouldn’t want to leave $500,000,000.00 on the table! That’s a few more thousand jobs.
They could just pay off every citizen’s mortgage.
Seriously.
What I want to know is are we going to still be loosing 500,000/month (500,000,000 according to Nazi Pelosi) while we supposedly generate 4 million jobs. Because if I can do simple math right, that equates to breaking even at 8 months, and we’re already a couple months in the hole. So then what do we do once we go negative again? Ask for another porkulus?
Actually they should give us the money to spend. If we had the cast, most would pay off or down, debt both CC and mortgagess, invest, maybe buy a new car, do home repairs, take vacations, go out to eat. Whatever.. but it would get spent.
Check out the headline on Drudge, it turns out we’ll be getting an extra $13.00 per month in our take home pay.
Thirteen whole dollars? Oh, the anticipation!
But if they were to dole it out on a per capita basis, that would come to only about ten grand for a family of four. Chump change. Not worth writing the checks. Besides, how can you buy votes with tax money if you treat everyone alike?
I’m sorry I meant $13.00 per week in our take home pay!
