do the math!

Apparently the senate came to an agreement and passed a stimulus plan that now has to go back to the house for approval. The stimulus plan will cost the US government $838,000,000,000. That's $838 billion dollars.

President Obama was hammering on congress to pass the bill which will "save or create 4 million jobs."

Lets do the math!

$838,000,000,000 / 4,000,000 jobs = $209,500 per job

I don't know about you but I think I could probably create more than one job if I had $209,500 in cash to toss around...

UPDATE:

The bill paddes the house, the final price tag is $789,000,000,000 (789B) and number of jobs saved or created 3.6 million.

That comes out to: $219,166.66 per job.
