Geithner says WH “jobs” plan a good deal at $200K per job

Geithner says WH “jobs” plan a good deal at $200K per job. Turbo Tax Timmy says the WH plan is better than the alternative, which he misleading states is doing nothing. The REAL alternative is to fire Obama & Timmy, then watch the economy take off like gangbusters as the “regime uncertainty” is lifted. That alternative would cost taxpayers nothing and the private sector would create lotsa jobs on its own. The reason, as the man who couldn’t make Turbo Tax work likely doesn’t know, is that employment is a SIDE EFFECT OF ECONOMIC ACTIVITY… what part of that don’t these people understand? All of it.

  • I'm a poor man. If jobs are costing $200K average now, just give me one that pays $100K a yr. for the next 20 yrs. and I'll shut the hell up. I'll even pay for my own healthcare. Deal? Nah, didn't think so.

  • I have a job plan that will give TWICE as many an income:

    Take the stimulus money, give unemployed people $100k each.

    See? My plan is twice as good as Obama's.
