Don't get too dejected, though. We still have an economic plan with a heaping dose of hope.
Surely, you'll feel better when the president begins doling out his two-pronged, faith-based explanation — and if we're lucky, he'll do it at a "town hall" meetings with approximately 100 of his closest friends.
First, you should always assume things could have been worse.
This leap of faith involves buying the "save-and-created-jobs" myth the president likes to peddle. And if you're lucky enough to be working on some state-run boondoggle awash in freshly printed money, smile. As for the rest of America, we once again learn that government spending rarely spurs wider economic prosperity.
But let's, for argument's sake, make believe that the stimulus plan has saved or created 150,000 jobs.
By the end of June, $53 billion in stimulus funding has been spent on weatherizing projects, land bridges for rodents and checks for 10,000 formerly living Americans (this administration doesn't only create jobs, it creates life). That puts the cost of each job supposedly saved at about $354,000, or, exactly the sort of efficiency you'd expect from D.C.
