Barack Obama calls this is a success......

Stephen Moore, Sr. Economics Writer for the Wall Street Journal, told America’s Newsroom on Wednesday that the Obama Administration is spending over a million dollars for each green job.

It’s actually worse than that!!


The cost of each job produced by stimulus cash is closer to $1.63 million.
CNS News reported:

The Obama administration distributed $9 billion in economic “stimulus” funds to solar and wind projects in 2009-11 that created, as the end result, 910 “direct” jobs — annual operation and maintenance positions — meaning that it cost about $9.8 million to establish each of those long-term jobs.


At the same time, those green energy projects also created, in the end, about 4,600 “indirect” jobs – positions indirectly supported by the annual operation and maintenance jobs — which means they cost about $1.9 million each ($9 billion divided by 4,600).


Combined (910 + 4,600 = 5,510), the direct and indirect jobs cost, on average, about $1.63 million each to produce.

Even though the MSM-obama won't cover this, Mitt will force them to cover it in the very near future. So many scandals/failures, so little time.

The man never had to manage any money.
He was a Senator who voted "present".

They dont care. As Ive said lately, it gets more apparent by the day that they dont give a damn about the country, the truth, or if voters are informed or not. Take not of the things they do get riled up about though. Tax returns and jokes.

Hell, they didnt give a damn that the first green jobs czar was a friggin communist.

Green jobs. LOL What a joke and what a waste of OUR money

Cool! We just need a $100 trillion "stimulus" and then everything will be fine! Do we have enough paper and ink for that?
