$500,000 Federal Grant Yields 1.72 Jobs

Plenty of trees.  No shovels.
What?! Oh yeah.

Growing jobs. Growing our economy.

"A federal stimulus grant of nearly $500,000 to grow trees and stimulate the economy in Nevada yielded a whopping 1.72 jobs.."

Nice.

    And when the grant has been spent out,
    how many PERMANENT jobs will have been created?

    The only thing that will remain is the
    $Trillion debt from the borrowed money. And interest until it's retired.

    How much you want to bet that 1.5 of those jobs were in "management", rather that actually doing anything.

    They'll never run out of fertilizer, though.
