450,000,000,000 to create 1,000,000

Really.

How clever.

Jobs plan may create 1 million jobs - economists.......

In China!

[Blood of Tyrants]

And it only costs $400,000 PER JOB to create $55,000 per year jobs!

If $500B creates 1M jobs, then where’s the 2M jobs from the $1T stimulus? The plans are similar, coming from the same cabal, and August added zer0 jobs.

What a load. Somebody’s been hittin’ the happy smoke.

[Psycho_Bunny]

Wow....this, on top of all the jobs the stimulus bill created!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lolololololololol

Did an of the morons at CNN whip out a calulator and do some quick math before they started lauding creating jobs at the cost of 450k each?

what a distortion of the truth!

[OrioleFan]

Since Obama is big on the created or saved jobs number, how about:
1) Give Gibson guitars their legally imported rosewood and ebony back.
2) Let Boeing operate in South Carolina.
3) Back off EPA regulations that will shut down the coal industry.
4) Repeal Obamacare.
5) Let the oil companies exploit US and offshore finds.

No thanks. I'd rather have a streamlined government with WAY less business-sapping regulations and a far more business-friendly income tax system to generate tens of millions of jobs as companies return jobs, factories and corporate headquarters back to the USA under better regulatory and tax circumstances.

"Given the elevated risk of recession the U.S. faces today,

Beyond effin words. Did you hear that folks? We're at a RISK of RECESSION! Better PASS IT NOW so we can see what is in it.

Wish someone would do what needs to be done already. It is long past time.

Just pure bs lies...

By the end of that speech, most folks were believing they would grow 6 inches (at each end for males), lose 50 lbs, grow hair (except facial and armpits for women), men would be cured of ED, baldness, everybody would have union paying jobs and the gov’t would pay their mortgages.

No wonder they think his plan will add a million jobs. The man is a miracle worker.

[ilgipper]

The payroll tax holiday for workers and small businesses was cited specifically for having a relatively good "bang for the buck." And that part of the plan may have the most bipartisan support.

Unless I am mistaken, most of this is already implemented with zero results, and is being discussed as a renewal for another one year period. I guess doing more of what does not work will somehow produce miracle results.

Are these the same economists who said 'cash for clunkers' would work?

Or that QE1 would work?

Or QE2?

Hard to tell - sooooooooo many programs, so many failures, so many lying economists....

[MNJohnnie]

Did any of these morons pretending to be Economists do the math?

$450,000,000,000 to create 1 million jobs? I cannot believe anybody is stupid enough to invest money with these idiots.

[Navy Patriot]

Economists gave generally positive reviews to President Obama's jobs plan Friday, with some estimating that at least 1 million jobs could be added in the next year if the workers use spoons instead of shovels.
