Joe/stimulus

Joe, I have to agree 100% with your comment regarding the success of the stimulus plan that pumped $787,000,000,000 into the economy.

I checked with the CBO(report on 8/31/10). The CBO report that between 1,400,000 and 3,300,000 jobs were created as a result of the stimulus. I had doubted its positive effect, but I stand corrected, and you were right on target.

If 1,400,000 jobs were created that would have been $562,000 per job.

If 3,300,000 jobs were created that would have cost $238,000 per job.
