Foxnews.com: Obama Promises More Than 600,000 Stimulus Jobs - Uhhh...Yea Right...

I saw this story and I about laughed myself silly!

After 3/4 of a TRILLION dollars spent, spending, or will be spent, he is going to create 600k+ jobs... yea right... by that reckoning that's roughly $1.3 Billion/job... are these guys really that ideologically bent to the point of galactic stupidity? Goes to show you what you get for your $500k worth of Columbia, Harvard education...

"President Barack Obama promised Monday to deliver more than 600,000 jobs through his $787 billion stimulus plan this summer, with federal agencies pumping billions into public works projects, schools and summer youth programs.

Obama is ramping up his stimulus program this week even as his advisers are ramping down expectations about when the spending plan will effect a continuing rise in the nation's unemployment.

Many of the stimulus plans that Obama announced Monday already were in the works, including hundreds of maintenance projects at military bases, about 1,600 state road and airport improvements, and federal money states budgeted for 135,000 teachers, principals and school support staff."

Now after all this is said and done, and the country is losing 500k-600k jobs PER MONTH! After one summer's worth of activity of this so-called "Stimulus" bill, just how much do you think they will need to spend to make up for all the tax-paying private sector jobs lost? All these public-sector temp jobs don't help the economy, they suck the life out of it!

This whole scheme sounds like folks who make yearly trips to Vegas, betting their savings on hitting it big... though they may hit the big bundle once, after 10 years of the same scheme, they're still down 10 bundles!

... This brings to mind Daniel Hannan's speech at the EU Parliament dressing down Gordon Brown.. It bears repeating here.
