Presidential Stimulus Drives America Further Into Debt

Obama’s Economists: ‘Stimulus’ Has Cost $278,000 per Job.  The Weekly Standard.

In other words, the government could simply have cut a $100,000 check to everyone whose employment was allegedly made possible by the “stimulus,” and taxpayers would have come out $427 billion ahead.

Great going!  America is more in the hole as a result of that highly touted economic plan that was supposed to rescue this country.  This may well be how a country pays for a community organizer’s “experience,” as he learns-on-the-job.
