Obama’s Stimulus Jobs cost $242,000 each

Posted by madjillmom on November 23, 2011

Remember the $800 billion stimulus that came in Obama’s first month as President.  It was a Democratic Gimme List shoved through with a promise that unemployment would not go over 8% if passed.  Obama’s experts told us this.  Flash forward three years.

Politico has an article about the Congressional Budget Office numbers regarding jobs and that first stimulus.  Turns out, under the best possible scenario, the stimulus provided 3.3 million jobs.  At worst, it provided 500 thousand.  These are pretty broad highs and lows.  So, lets use the rosiest scenario of 3.3 million jobs.  The cost of each job was around $242,000 each.  The “experts” around Obama like to tell us that taxpayer government money handed out in stimulus has a multiplier effect over the actual amount handed out.  In other words, $1 handed out by the government really benefits us by the tune of $1.50 in magic ways.  So, $242000 should have given us 5 straight up decent jobs at about $48,000 per person.  With the multiplier effect, it should have been about 6 decent jobs – teacher jobs, fireman jobs, policeman jobs.  So, by my estimation, the stimulus should have resulted in about 6 jobs instead of the one job per $242,000.  That would be 3.3 million times 6. That would be 19.8 million jobs rather than a puny 3.3 million jobs.  Epic fail, Obama.

Of course, after seeing how the first stimulus worked out the only real thing to do is try again with another stimulus under the guise of Obama’s Can’t Wait Jobs Bill.

Can Frank N. Stein beat Obama in 2012?

Posted by madjillmom on November 22, 2011

I find it hard to commit to any one Republican candidate.  I would like to make a new candidate using the best parts of the current crop of candidates.

Here is what I would want:

  • Doggedness  and bluntness from Michelle Bachmann
  • Folksyness from Cain and Perry
  • Newt Gingrich’s debate ability and brains
  • Cain and Romney’s business experience
  • Paul’s libertarian views on the constitution and his desire to cut full departments (though I do not want his foreign policy stuff)
  • Santorum’s experience in the congress plus his quiet staunch conservatism
  • Perry’s willingness to address Obama’s policies as socialism – a brave move
  • Romney’s focus on Obama as the one to confront

Meet Frank N. Stein, a more perfected candidate to my way of thinking.  Remember, any of them is better than what we have.  So  whoever comes out is my choice.  The best way to perfect the one candidate is to pick a great VP.  Almost anyone will make Sheriff Joe look like the buffoon he is.

More Earthquake Causes

Posted by madjillmom on August 23, 2011

Nancy Pelosi says this was caused by proposed cuts in Medicare and Social Security. Or, perhaps, her various face lifts let go.

Mayor Bloomburg thinks it probably happened because of too much salt in the food being sold around NYC.

Al Gore says it is Climate Change deniers.

Hamas, Ron Paul, and the Palestinian Authority think it was caused by the close relationship we have with Israel.

Glenn Beck did it fulfill his prophesy.

Deep water drilling in the Gulf Coast.  Or fracking on the Eastern Seaboard.  Maybe it was windmills tilting off Martha’s Vineyard or Hyannis.

The Fed

Obama Wants to Kill Texans

Posted by madjillmom on August 9, 2011

Texas is baking.  The heat of this summer is worse than ever.  Obama has given the overzealous Environmental Protection Agency the go ahead to shut down electricity production in Texas.  When this is done, a summer like this one will resort in blackouts and brownouts.  The cost of electricity will “necessarily skyrocket” and those who are poor will suffer the most.  This would result in lots of deaths in Texas.

The EPA wants to shut down coal-fired plants.  They say the little children will die of asthma if we don’t.  The little children will die because they are in airless rooms in 100 heat with no electricity.

Nothing new.  Obama hates Texas (NASA, the oil industry, electricity production, military contracts, low taxes, employment gains, etc.)  Gotta let illegals vote so he can win again.

Joplin, Mo

Posted by madjillmom on May 24, 2011

Trying to keep up with news as I walk thru the Nashville Airport. I keep seeing that Michele Obama is having problems with the wind on their trip to the UK. First it was her hair, then her full-skirted dress.

I keep thinking the people in Joplin, Missouri have had some wind trouble also. Sometimes it is hard not to feed the Irony Monster.

Burning the Bible

Posted by madjillmom on April 2, 2011

If a Bible is pried from the hands of a Christian who was killed for being a Christian in an Islamic country and then burned or defaced, do the Lutherans in Des Moines gather and behead a few foreigners in a riot?  Gotta love that Religion of Peace.

Will the non-extremist Muslims now condemn these killer riots?  Waiting to hear.

Japan Disaster

Posted by madjillmom on March 14, 2011

Perhaps Japan is best able to handle the horrible devastation that has befallen them.  The devastation and loss of life is horrible.  Compare and contrast the situation to Hurricane Katrina.  Two natural disasters and two different responses.  There are shortages reported in Japan.  The people affected are waiting patiently in line to receive aid.  There is no screaming, rioting, or looting reported.  There is no befouling of emergency shelters.  No people ranting at the reporters that Japanese rulers hate “yellow” people.  Not much public whining and crying though there must be so much pain and suffering and sacrifice.

I believe there is no real welfare culture in Japan.  No whole class of people used to their government providing for their every need and want.  My perception of Japan is an industrious people working hard to better themselves and their country.   I would think that there are a lot of people in Japan who aren’t happy about the official response, but they are probably stepping in and doing what they can instead of waiting for the government to come in and fix it.

If this disaster happens here, I don’t think things would be going so well.  I am also certain that there would be lots of hand-wringing and whining by a large group of people feeding at the government trough.  They will want to be saved rather than take steps to save themselves.  This doesn’t bode well.

Why is Andy Stern on this Committee?

Posted by madjillmom on September 29, 2010

Andy Stern, former leader of SEIU. was appointed to the National Committee on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform by Pres. Obama.  This is the committee that will give recommendations to congress on cutting the deficit sometime in December.

Andy Stern left SEIU in April.  While he was their leader, SEIU debt grew from under 10 million to over 100 million.  The pensions were left in a mess also, with massive underfunding of the rank and file members pensions.  Stern’s pension was completely funded, in fact, it was funded at 102%.  So why is this man on any committee to reduce the nation’s deficit?

Check the Washington Post on Andy Stern.  Check Michelle Malkin on some of Andy’s other deeds.
