Right wingers must use a different type of math than the rest of us.
The entire US population is about 311 million. If the 2009 stimulus came out to "$18,000 a person" it was $5.6 trillion.

As for the proposed $447 billion, if they gave that away it would come out to be around $1,500 per person. I think it would serve the country better if he simply gave the money back than it would giving it to other people that may or may not do what they are suppose to do with it. Then again, maybe there are a few more struggling green energy corporation about to go out of business Obama can funnel the money towards.

The problem with what you said is it's 100% false. The only two months we didn't have positive total jobs were do to government layoffs. And in those months we still have positive private sector jobs.
