Government Jobs

The House version of the stimulus bill, passed last night, provides for $214,000,000,000 to create or save 330,400 government jobs. That implies that taxpayers would be asked to spend $646,214 per job, according to Allan Reynolds of the Cato Institute.

Wow, how can I get one of those jobs?

And thanks for the zeroes. That's a powerful display of the scope of this thing.
