I think that's better than his "green" jobs stimulus - what is it - about $2 million per job now?

Question:

If I spend $200,000 for 5 construction workers to build a 3 bedroom house does that mean that each worker pockets $40,000 or does it mean that some fraction of that $200,000 pay for labor and the remainder for materials? And at the end of the day, do I not have a new house??

You and others like yourself like to take the total amount spent, divide it by the number of jobs and then proclaim that this represents the the price per job created always leaving out of the equation the cost of materials or for that matter the jobs that those material represent.

No wonder we have declining SAT scores.

The jobs are in India. Ford's opening a plant there.

If you hurry, you might get hired. There's a flight from New York to Mumbai (that would be Bombay for the 'tards) for just $539. You don't like winter anyway, so here's your big chance to get away from it all.

Maybe you can print that up on a flyer and hand it out to the home-haters standing on the street corners and intersections. I'm sure they can con people out of $539 in less than a week for the plane ticket. And what a bargain, since they're home-haters they probably don't got no luggage.

Members of the Krugman Keynesian Klan always had very expensive tastes. Very discriminating in fact, like the other club sharing their acronym.

LOL @ trying to correlate a decline in a standardized vanilla test that doesn't measure intelligence with an understanding of basic economics.
