Great, thanks!

Now lets see…the number of unemployed is at 14.9 million workers. If we spend $700,000 to employ 6 people for 3 years how much tax money will it take to create half of those needed jobs?

Is there an algebra expert on here?

You left out the people employed by subsidiary effects of the money. After they get paid, the people receiving those paychecks go out, buy dinner, buy beer, go see a baseball game, pay someone to fix their car, etc.

I don’t know why people seem to think that once people get paid money from a job that money simply disappears into a black hole.
