The cost-per-job from receipt of stimulus cash in Pennsylvania has so far been $57,708.

This explaination to why the costs per employee seen high is basic common sense and it's no wonder common sense answers give Republicans such trouble understanding.

When saving or adding new jobs building or fixing infastructure like bridges, you not only need workers you also need concrete, steel beams and many other materials that are included into the $57,708 costs per employee.

Why are Republicans so stupid ? Or is it just more Republican lies and deceit instead of truthful answers ?

Obama's gonna kill Grandma and after that he's coming for your guns. So says the Republican Party !!!!

There is not an economist on Earth who has a forumula that can provide a reliable statistical model for "saving a job" as a function of an economy. Stop reading from the talking points and crack open an Econ 101 textbook.

I don't believe lives are ever saved. Lives are prolonged. Maybe jobs are the same way?

The cost of prolonging a life can become very expensive and frequently fails. Can we say the same about jobs?

Daily Horoscope for December 18

Virgo

You probably won't need any urging to do this, but the rest of the month is marvellous for being with special people and doing favourite things. You'll have a real capacity for pleasure and enjoyment, and you'll want to spread as much happiness around you as possible. Cupid could have you in his sights, so steer you-know-who under the mistletoe and see what happens next.
