Calculator abuse or inconvenient truth?
Cost of the stimulus according to ABC's Jake Tapper:
The White House argues that the actual job number is actually larger than 640,000 -- closer to 1 million jobs when one factors in stimulus jobs added in October and, more importantly, jobs created indirectly, such as "the waitress who's still on the job," Vice President Biden said today.
So let's see. Assuming their number is right -- 160 billion divided by 1 million. Does that mean the stimulus costs taxpayers $160,000 per job?
And from the comment section: "The only wealth government can create is the wealth they steal from us."
