I think the line they've consistently used is "created *or* saved" although the number of jobs created or saved" has increased a number of times iinm. -- nm - Loyola Jan 30, 10:57
I suppose if you're going to use that stat, then you should only use the funds designed to create jobs when calculating the cost per job - oblique, eighth best slackertalker Jan 30, 10:57 4
- I think the whole idea of the exercise of trying to assing a monetary cost to it is ridiculous. -- nm - znufrii Jan 30, 11:01
- I would agree with that except the overarching goal of said plan is job creation. -- nm - Loyola Jan 30, 10:58 1
  - I wouldn't say that. The overreaching goals is bolstering the faltering economy. One aspect of that is job creation -- nm - oblique, eighth best slackertalker Jan 30, 10:59
- yep. -- nm - TFox Jan 30, 10:57
