The Commonwealth Foundation recently reported on the latest numbers coming out of the Stimulus aftermath:
“… the Southwest Georgia Community Action Council claimed to have saved 935 jobs with the $1.3 million it received, even though only 508 people work there. In reality, the group used most of its grant to give raises and now says it created 9.35 jobs.”
With a price tag to taxpayers of just over $139,000 per job, the economic benefit of this “job creation” model is dubious at best.
Sam Rohrer, who listed “Remove Roadblocks to Job Creation & Economic Recovery” as the number one goal in his 2010 PA Gubernatorial bid, has spoken out harshly against the recent spate of congressional spending at both the state and federal level.
And he is not alone – a recent Quinnipiac University poll showed a majority of the over 2,000 voters polled approved of the President’s projected personality, while dissaproving of his policy to date, and much of that dissaproval seems to stem from his fiscal conduct.
