And let me guess... the revenue stream that feeds those 3.5 jobs probably has it’s source coming from my pockets!

was it $10 million?

did these jobs last a week or a month?

How much of this stimulus actually went to these workers?

$751 million led to 656 jobs statewide.

Here's a map for those unfamiliar with the "Southern tier" of NY. I suppose it might vary a little bit depending on who you ask. It's lovely country, totally unlike NYC. There are Amish in some areas. I once heard a local news report that a man was arrested for fishing out of season! You get the idea.

If it weren't for Bush it would have been a whole job.

OK. and how much of that went to wages?

I would bet it was less than $30 million.

How much of it do you think ended up in the pockets of some leftists groups?

Since the commie org Apollo Alliance fashioned the Stimulus bill—and Harry Reid openly thanked them for their helping the democrat legislators ... obviously dems like Conyers are too dimb to write such a bill—it is a good bet that the design was to funnel funds to the social justice/greenpeace/union side of growing communism in America.

yeah well - when Barack axed the chopper program that resulted in the loss of nearly 1,000.
Did they figure that into their mysterious equation?

At least the jobs created were beneficial to society as a whole...
