1000 jobs!?!?!?! The economy added 1000 jobs last month???

[judge_smales]

How many jobs was Duh-buah's "Jobs and Growth" tax cut supposed to create?

Lets do some math, shall we? $255 billion over 10 years is 2.125 billion per month, right? So the 'Merican tax payer shelled out $2,125,000 for each of those jobs? Two million per job?? Or am I missing something? If that's the case why aren't we just giving a hundred grand to every unemployed person? Wouldn't that be cheaper?

1. Yeah...1000 jobs for the draft selection commitees!

2. Even WOLF just asked, incredulously....

"Isn't this a little polital, and likely to backfire?"

John whatsisname was talking about the pres's glowing report as the dismal figures and "Labor Dept Says Thousands Have Given Up Looking For Work."

Then Wolfie questions it, too.

6. Maybe you could factor in all the jobs created in India

7. By not extending unemployment pay in Dec. 03, there are not as many people

applying - that doesn't mean they got jobs.

Also, a thousand jobs in one month - my state has 100 counties - if we gave each county (sp) one job - that would leave the rest of the nation with 900 jobs to split between them - I'm really impressed (sarcasm)

9. they need...

..200,000 jobs per month in order to make their goals.

10. What would FDR say today?

He must be turning in his grave ,
God Bless his soul!!!

11. Dubya jobs--a good name for jobs at

wallyworld and mcburgers and/or for those uncreated jobs that exited the country.

12. I vote for your approach

Dear Department of Labor;

Just send the hundred grand to my address (I know you guys have it) and I'll take care of creating my own job. Thank you for your prompt response.

Yours, blah, blah, blah.

13. That's 250 per week !

Since there are 50 states, that's an average of 5 jobs per week per state. Not bad!
