That's right. LA got $111 million in stimulus funds and then only created or RETAINED 55 jobs. The cost? $1.2 million per job! Ok, these guys that were "Created or Retained", which is a bogus number to begin with, are only getting paid at most $50,000/year. Thats a total of 2.7 million dollars. WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO THE OTHER $108.2 MILLION?!!!!
All this stimulus spending has done is bloat an already lethargic and useless government. Here's an idea to boost the economy. Don't give our money to the frigging government agencies! Take that $111 million and give it to small businesses, tax free! See how many people I could hire with a $1 million dollar check from the government! Hell, give 222 small businesses $500,000 dollars and see what they can do with it. I would lay odds that alot more than 55 measly jobs would be created, not just retained.
Government is a stupid beast that should only be let out of it's cage on a tight leash. The mindset of the American public needs to revert from the gimme era back to the "No thanks, I don't want to go on the county." era. People need to start doing for themselves instead of being lazy and asking the government to take care of them. It's time to take our country back folks.
