How is this for efficient use of your tax dollars?

Let’s do the math:
$150,000,000,000 One hundred and fifty billion dollars spent.
/ 650,000 Jobs “created or saved”
————————–
= $230,769.23 Tax dollars per job “created or saved”
This is being touted as a success? The U.S. median income is about $50,000.00. At least four families could have been handed one years earnings for the cost of one “created or saved” job and had enough left over to pay income taxes.
The fact that our government touts this as a victory is stark evidence of just how bad our education levels have fallen and just how delusional our media has become.
Are we sure we can afford a health care system run by these people?
