Are new jobs worth $333,333.33 per job? Obama thinks so.
Reporting from Washington -- President-elect Barack Obama, pledging to "set a new course" for an ailing economy, will deliver a public appeal for his nearly $1-trillion recovery plan today -- the start of a campaign asking Americans to accept the massive spending as a "reinvestment" in the nation.A trillion is a million million. That's 1 million dollars to create only 3 jobs.With the stimulus plan, he believes, the nation should be able to generate 3 million jobs over the next few years.
Honestly, I'd be willing to work two jobs for $333,333.33. I'd also be willing to go part-time for a mere $100,000.00.
Just doing my part...

Hell with that.... I can save the government HALF A TRILLION FRICKIN' DOLLARS.
I'm pretty sure I can find 1.5 million people in the USA who are willing to work part time for $50K.
Post yer resume's folks. Breathing and ambulatory are the requirements.
In all fairness to His 'Oliness, one would presume that these jobs would not be for a one year duration. The figure is supposed to be for "permanent" jobs that would last for many years and would, therefore, cost a WHOLE lot less per job than 300K. Not only that, but since the government is extracting taxes from each and every one of these jobs, that reduces the net cost per job.
I still don't like the whole stinkin' plan, and especially the goon soon to be inaugurated, but it's not *quite* as horrible or outrageous as you're making it out to be.
He is just a liberal idiot, who is trying to take away everything we know, our Freedom. Google, Thomas Jefferson quotes, they will suprise you, he was a prophet, I never knew that. One quote from old Thomas Jefferson, "Every generation needs a new revolution", We need to stand up, not talk, really stand up against our government, we have that right, it is in the CONSTITUTION. Please everyone google Thomas Jefferson, you will learn what a man about 200 years ago knew what we were headed for. The strong will survive, strong I am! I am ready, I think like minded people need to group, get together, and have plans to save our FREEDOM. I will not let the government take that away from me, be it alone or not I will STAND UP and defend AMERICA, MY FREEDOM, FREEDOM OF ALL MEN AND WOMEN! HOOAH, You with ME?
