We happy few

Blog: We happy few:
"Using the numbers from recovery.gov, the website that explains, sort of, how the ARRA stimulus money was spent, we find that the state of New York had created 5,856 "recipient reported jobs" at cost of  $14.321 billion.
That's about $2.4 million per job.
California had 14,079 "recipient reported jobs" at a cost of  $27.254 billion. 
About $1.9 million per job.
The state of Washington used $3.3 million for each job.
Ohio ran $1.7 million per job, and thrifty Florida spent only $1.1 million on each job created with the ARRA stimulus funds. 
Will you be remembering these numbers as you pay your Federal taxes on April 15th this year?"
