The stimulus dollars at work....amazing.

They had to PAY people to come to this conclusion. BRILLIANT!!!!!

Yes it's just one big Hopey Changey Socialist Nightmare at this point. Three more years of this? Yikes!

 

[DiamondDave]

Another great example of why we need to cut from our government, not add to it

 

[Mr. Capitalism]

I missed the part that said this was funded with stimulus dollars.

 

[Mr. Capitalism]

Read it again, still don't see it.

 

[Mr. Capitalism]

Come on, someone has to have seen it.

 

[DiamondDave]

Does it really matter if it is stimulus dollars or just normal tax dollars being wasted?? To me... It's simply just more wasteful government spending

I'm failing to see where it said it was tax dollars either.

 

[DiamondDave]

Yeah.. because the government funds these studies with monopoly money

 

[Mr. Capitalism]

I mean BYU is a private insititution, was this commissioned by the government?

 

[Mr. Capitalism]

Yeah.. because the government funds these studies with monopoly money

I'm missing the part where the government was involved at all.

 

[DiamondDave]

BYU... 9,908,480 is stimulus monies received....

 

[Mr. Capitalism]

BYU... 9,908,480 is stimulus monies received....

First question, where is that listed?

Second question, was the money just plopped down with no strings or direction to it? HOw much of 9.9 million is BYUs budget? Methinks not too much.

No surprise, that latest jobs created under the no stimulus stimulus plan lists all kinds of money that went to congressional districts that DON'T exist. Now they want us to turn over 6% of our economy in health care to them.

 

[Mr. Capitalism]

Still no one has pointed out how this was a government funded study.

Did you see the word GRANT???? Hello???? Read it again...still don't see it?

You see, grants come from government...and if you did a little research, you'd find this project was included in a list of studies that were dog-eared with stimulus money. But you probably don't want to see the truth, so I doubt you'll look.

No, the word GRANT, let alone "grant" did not appear in the story. Just to make sure, I ran a word search on it. And please link me up to the list of studies dog eared with stimulus money, since you already have that list, I'm sure it would be no big deal to link it up.

 

[Mr. Capitalism]

No one?

I must assume that nowhere was there any indication that it was tax payer money...and thus why I am not involved in this thread.

But hey....325K to create a 40K job....

THAT is something we need to look into.

This was presented as a job creator.....but....

If it were presented as this:

It will not stop unemployment from going over 10%...it will save many jobs...but mostly state civil servant jobs that do nothing for GDP.....it will crete some green jobs, but not green jobs that will increase tax revenue as the green jobs will resulkt in government construction, and thereofre not have sales tax attached to it....and unfotunately, the first year will result in only about 600,000 jobs saved...but at a cost of of about 325K for each 40K job......

Would anyone on this board have pushed for it?
