| Cost for each "stimulus" job: $2M |

 I'm sure no worker received more than about $100k of pay, which would mean about $200k/job. So where did the extra 90% go? A lot of these jobs were to rebuild infrastructure. I'll bet any politician's life the rest is boodle and goes to help balance cooperative pol's budgets. Can't let government get any smaller, ya know! |

| #3 I wonder what the salary/benefit costs of the government employees who process all that "red tape" are. I wonder what the "controller" makes. |

| #1 2 Million in T-bills (@2%) = 40,000 per year in interest. I'd bet the average "job" pays 40,000. |
