И для пущей ясности, the national debt at the end of 2008, when Obama was preparing for his presidency, was $9.986 trillion, but it’s currently $14.467 trillion.
The report released by the president’s Council of Economic Advisers late Friday ahead of the July 4 holiday weekend estimated the Recovery Act saved or created between 2.4 million and 3.6 million jobs by the end of March 2011. Spending equaled $666 billion by that time.
“That’s a cost to taxpayers of $278,000 per job,” according to the Weekly Standard, a Washington, D.C.-based magazine. “In other words, the government could simply have cut a $100,000 check to everyone whose employment was allegedly made possible by the ‘stimulus,’ and taxpayers would have come out $427 billion ahead.”

Нюра, nothing personal, но что ж Вы всю статью-то не прочитали?
Искренне Ваша Хвостка.
