Apparently porkulus has been creating or "sustaining" jobs at a rate of $92,000 per job.
[Link: money.cnn.com...]
The White House says the figure is in line with its projection that the $787 billion recovery act has created or saved 150,000 jobs in the administration's first 100 days. The 150,000 number, which includes direct and indirect positions, is an estimate based on the amount of stimulus funds spent. Each $92,000 of stimulus funds spent translates into one job, according to the White House formula.
These figures are from people trying to defend porkulus. At that price, I can only assume Obama is personally flying over in an extremely low 747 to confirm each individual job has been saved.

The representative from Ohio (Boehner?) pointed out that there's actually provisions anticipating massive job losses written into the bill, specifically regarding unemployment benefits...
"My constituents don't want unemployment- they want jobs!"

Charles Johnson Fri, Jun 26, 2009 3:15:04pm |
By the way, here's a look at the Phoenix April 15 Tea Party from a somewhat different perspective.
A Petri dish of right wing insanity and goofiness. That was my impression of the April 15 Tea Party that took place on the grounds of the Arizona state capitol and drew thousands in a mass fit of anti-Obama rage. Sure, not everyone there was a complete moon-howling loon. (After all, I was there.) But I would say that a good 70 to 80 percent of those present were about a nut short of a PayDay bar.
Don't get me wrong. I love me a PayDay bar. And such extreme, Glenn Beck-esque paranoia and far-right wackiness makes for perfect blog-fodder. So much so that I can't wait for the next spate of tea parties to occur on July 4 across the country, which organizers hope will be as colossal an explosion of pent-up falangist energy as the April 15 parties were. However, whether FOX News will get behind the national effort to the same degree remains to be seen. Plus, who'd rather protest than barbecue and eat ice cream on Independence Day?
Even if they're able to pull it together locally and get KFYI 550 AM on board, with cornpone hillbilly J.D. Hayworth to broadcast live again, it'd be tough to top April 15. On that date, Phoenix saw an influx of Paleolithic conservatives from deepest, darkest Gilbert and Mesa. Hausfraus and their high-school aged progeny compared Barack Obama to mass murderers such as Adolf Hitler, and to far-left revolutionaries such as V.I. Lenin. Obama's name and face were interchangeable with the hammer and sickle for these Looney Tunes.
No denunciation of our President was too far out at the jingoist jamboree, even though the Prez was elected to his national post by both the popular vote and the Electoral College. It wasn't too long ago in this country when even conservatives demanded a smidgen of respect for the POTUS. Sadly, those days are long behind us. At one point, I listened incredulously as a white, middle-class dad threatened Obama's life in front of his teenage daughter and roly-poly Arizona state Senator Thayer Verschoor. I was the only adult who challenged this imbecile on his threat -- though I have to give points to the crazy man's kid for trying to drag her daddy away as he spat his violence towards the nation's chief executive. In general, such deranged individuals were not confronted at the hootenanny, primarily because they were in the majority.
There were neo-Nazis in attendance, John Birchers, estwhile Ron Paul-ites (or "Ronulans"), middlebrows who'd read too much Ayn Rand, minutemen, nativist members of United for a Sovereign America and other anti-immigrant groups, you name it. One of those minutemen, or perhaps more properly -- minutewomen, reporting for duty was Shawna Forde, founder and leader of the group Minuteman American Defense. On June 12, Forde, 41, and two cohorts were arrested by the Pima County Sheriff's Department for their alleged role in a bloody home-invasion robbery in Arivaca that left a nine-year-old girl and her father dead.

For reasons best not explained, I've come to know a former member of the Revolutionary Guards really well.He's done some pretty dreadful things in his life, from attacking women in the streets for not wearing the full Islamic gear to fighting alongside Islamic revolutionaries in countries abroad.
And yet now, in the tumult that has gripped Iran since its elections last week, he's had a change of heart.
He's become a backer of Mir Hossein Mousavi, the reformist candidate who alleges fraud in the elections. He's saved up the money to send his son to a private school abroad, and he loathes President Ahmadinejad.
He's not the only one.

In a televised speech, Hamas chief Khaled Mashaal avoided any mention of the recent turmoil in Iran, even though the Islamic militant group is backed by the Tehran regime.

The Republican amendment is "going to go down" and we're on to final passage. I don't even know what the amendment was about; it's enough to know that it was sponsored by Republicans, apparently, and that was enough.
This bill is a monumental folly. Any business requiring a lot of cheap energy to run will be forced to move operations to regions which aren't nationally suicidal, like Russia, China, and India.

Sounded good, but had no chance in hell of passing.
Rep. Forbes (R-VA): The amendment would strike the whole bill and insert the text of H.R. 513, the "New Manhattan Project for Energy Independence." Establishes a commission to set a plan for making the U.S. 50 percent energy independent in ten years and 100 percent energy independent in 20 years. Authorizes a competition that awards large monetary prizes to the first entity that achieves each of seven different energy goals set out in the amendment. The purposes of reaching the goals of the amendment are to eliminate dependence on foreign oil, and transform the energy sector.

TEMPER, TEMPER - Roll Call, 'Obey, Waters Fight on House Floor,' by Steven T. Dennis and Jackie Kucinich:
'House Appropriations Chairman David Obey (D-Wis.) and Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) engaged in a shoving match on the House floor early Thursday evening that ended with Obey raising his voice and bellowing, 'I'm not going to approve that earmark!' Waters has been seeking $1 million for an employment center in her district that bears her name, but Obey has decided to ban any 'monuments to me' when it comes to funding project requests this year. The confrontation began with the two talking in each other's faces and gesturing animatedly with their hands. Obey then attempted to walk away, but Waters kept following him. Obey then put his hand on Waters arm and shoulder, and Waters became irate. Obey again turned away, dismissing Waters by throwing up his hands, but Waters continued to stalk him, talking to his back and making a shoving motion.'Waters followed Obey down to the well of the House, and as the confrontation - and shoves - continued, Obey turned and told her: 'You are out of line.' To which Waters retorted: 'You are out of line.' ... Waters then retreated to a group of fellow members of the Congressional Black Caucus, but her conversation could be heard from the press gallery. 'He touched me first, he pushed me first!' she said. She the left the House floor ... 'Waters accosted Chairman Obey on the floor and demanded he fund an earmark for a school district as a conduit for a center named after her,' said Ellis Brachman, spokesman for Obey. 'He refused, and unfortunately she chose to make a scene.' ... Republicans have made the issue [of self-named earmarks] the cornerstone of their call for additional earmark reforms.'

A nicely cold winter coupled with high energy prizes could do the trick.
Yet the toll would be very high indeed.

It is all Obamas fault.
All of these local kids that have just graduated high school can find NOTHING ...no jobs, they are all grumbling, no income, not even burger joints ....there's just nothing available. I think that's a factor ....not only did they think 0bama would usher in this great new era of prosperity, they also thought their wages would be higher than in the past. What a bunch of suckers.

I don't live in the "online social networking" world that he does. He does report, however, that he is seeing eyes open at a rapid rate, one that surprises even him. From what he tells me, I do have hope.

All too familiar here in Europe. Unemployment never really went down below 8% of the work force even in economic bull markets.
Coupled with over-regulated job-markets a hell of a lot of people never even reached the wages that their parents did.

My grumpy tuppence: This bill is the inevitable result of the GOP taking no action on addressing the energy problem during all the years when it ruled the roost.
Statesmen, as opposed to self-interested politicians, use a party's period of popularity to force through necessary things that are unpopular. The time for drill-drill and nuke-plant building was at the turn of the century. We got evasion and jokes about Al Gore and heads in the sand. In a very real way, the GOP created this current bill themselves, by default. The laugh is on them, and all of us will pay the consequences of its shortcomings.
Over and out.

re: #575 LGoPs
If this wasn't so deadly serious it would be fucking laughable. We exhale carbon dioxide for crying out loud. We have actually passed legislation that makes us - each personally - a polluting machine. The next logical step of course should be to make us illegal.
I do indeed exhale carbon dioxide. I also excrete great amounts of urine and feces, but our "Socialist" society has very strict rules on when and where I can excrete it and how it must be dealt with afterwards.
The more shit (metaphorically speaking) that is in the air, the more trouble I, as a lifetime asthma sufferer, have breathing. For some reason I take that very personally. "Deadly serious," you might say.
"But, but...carbon dioxide is wonderful!"
And shit helps to grow edible plants! And people have actually had their lives saved by drinking urine!
Oddly, people have never seen this as good reason for me relieving myself in their yard. Go figure.
