President Obama has attached a big number to his jobs bill: 1.9 million. At a private fundraiser last night, Obama said his proposal would create 1.9 millions jobs, while reducing the 9.1% unemployment rate by a percentage point; he also said it would add two percentage points to the Gross Domestic Product. Assuming it's passed by Congress, that is.

Even if we believe every word he says (ha),

$450 billion divided by 1.9 million is $236000/job.

Does no one at USA today (or anywhere else for that matter) have a calculator?

Democrats don't need no stinkin' numbers. Where did you get these stinkin' numbers; FOX News?..............oh; USA Today.

Where did USA Today get these stinkin' numbers; FOX News?......oh; Moody's

I bet the guy at Moody's watches FOX News. Yeah, that's it.

$236,000? Where do I get an application?

I know, I would like one of those jobs myself. What is wrong with the American public that they cannot add and subtract. This administration has thrown trillions of dollars out the window to buy votes. 2012 will hopefully be the start of a new era. Hopefully the electorates have not been dumbed down to the point of not understanding the dire condition we are presently in.

We need to vote this regime out. Vote republican in 2012. Your grandchildren will thank you.

I think the President plan is to spend $236,000 dollars to get you a job that pays maybe a 1/10 of that.

But, if I'm wrong, let me know where I can sign up also.

That's what they cost, not what they pay.

Exactly, $ 236,000 dollars for a job that may pay $30,000. That is 8x times the job. Where does the money go?
