According to the U.S. Department of Labor, median wages in 2008 was $32,390.

According to this article, each “stimulus” job cost approximately $72,410.

I’m surprised Obama hasn’t won the Nobel Prize in Economics.

Actually, the rest of the article (what I excerpted), said just the opposite.

Are there actually people out there that believe that the “stimulus” is really intended to help business or working people generally?

I know, I know … lots of people say it.

But does anybody out there actually believe it at this point?

It has been determined that the states that supported Obama the most, the very states Obama has visited the most, were the main recievers.

Bingo! That’s a very good forecast, Rusty.

But you left out a couple of details. The Israel-Iran War. A major terrorist attack within the US. A stock market crash. And when helter-skelter comes down, they’ll blame it on Bush, capitalism, Wall Street, Rush Limbaugh, Fox News, and Big Oil / Big Pharma / Big Health Insurance / Big This-That-and-the-Other-Thing.

It will be like the Jimmy Carter era, but on steroids.

I want to know how stimulated the people will be when hyperinflation hits about this time next year, the arabs cut our oil off and we’re all unemployed.

But then, we’ll all truly be equal at that point.

Mission accomplished.

Well, when they said the Stimulus would create jobs they weren’t lying. They meant it. Even though the entire world knew the Stimulus was a political payoff and would not create a single job.

Not like Bushhitler who when he said Iraq had WMD, didn’t mean it. Even though the entire world agreed that Sadaam had the weapons.

That, you see, is the difference between a transparent administration (Obamy), and one founded on lies (Bushhitler).
