What kind of insanity is it when you pay $200,000 dollars to create one job that pays $50,000 dollars, and the job will probably run out in a year.

Somebody in Government is sh1tsimple.

"What kind of insanity is it when you pay $200,000 dollars to create one job that pays $50,000 dollars, and the job will probably run out in a year."

Oh, it's worse than that. Most of these jobs are less than a year, often far less. A highway bridge may take a year to build, but that does NOT mean that the construction people get a year of work. The riggers and crane operators may work for 4 months, the guys who paint the bridge may work 4 weeks, the landscapers may work less than that.

Even the numbers they give are inflated.
