Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. has offered his own $804 billion jobs plan that calls on the federal government to hire the nation’s 15 million unemployed Americans for jobs paying roughly $40,000 each, and bail out all the states and cities facing budget crises.


Really.  And yet they want to cut military retirements and what not.

It would work, because the money comes from Obama's stash.

Perhaps my math is faulty, but when I divide 804,000,000,000 by 15,000,000, I get 53,600. So what do we do with the 15 million $40K salaries after the first year?

By then the economy will be so stimulated we won't need the Government Money Fairy's farts.

Andrew Jackson, on the other hand, was such a thorough-going stud that he could probably beat you to death from beyond the grave. Watch your back.

The other $13600 is Jackson's finders fee.

I wouldn't be a bit surprised, though that does just about work out to the bennie costs for a $40k /yr .gov job.

If we do this, can we also cut unemployment down to only about 12 or 24 weeks or so and eliminate welfare and food stamps?

Then we could do massive layoffs.

That's over $10K per American family in extra taxes.   Hmmm.  Oh wait, I forgot...we'll just print it.  No problem.
