The article supporting this story ( http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2009/... ) is so hilariously jacked up that I have no hope of adequately explaining it. Just imagine a monkey trying to fuck a football and you'll get the idea.

Stimulus Spent Through Sept 30:$159,000,000,000
Jobs Created Or Saved Through Sept 30: 640,329
Oops! Joe Biden Claims That Number Is Wrong: 1,000,000 Jobs

But Wait. Counting Is Hard.

"...planning and programming for the commission said that his staff originally reported to the Obama administration that the stimulus money saved 250 jobs. Then, realizing they had mistakenly double credited, they later changed that to 125 jobs. Tuesday, they updated it again to 74 jobs."

Well, so long as we can trust that the officials doing the counting are honest...

"How do they know that government officials asking for stimulus funds to help prevent layoffs were legitimate?

"What we have to do is expect that our public officials are honest," DeSeve [senior advisor to the president for Recovery Act implementation] said. "I know that's a high bar."

Let's just agree that the cost per job is somewhere between "are-you-fucking-kidding- me" and "my god, what have they done?"
