I Would Like $275,000, Would You?

According to the Campaign Spot at National Review Online, John Boehner (House Minority Leader), is saying that each new job created by the BO Stimulus plan will cost $275,000. This is based on an interview yesterday between George Stephanopoulos and David Axelrod (Obama's campaign manager.)

STEPHANOPOULOS: But you would concede, $275,000 a job is a high price to pay, isn't it?
AXELROD: Well, I'm not signing on to that particular figure. I think preventing this country from sliding into as deep an economy emergency as we've seen since the Great Depression, preventing double- digit unemployment, and laying the groundwork for the future in these areas that mention and others I think is a worthy thing to do.

This is one thing the Democrats are so profession about: parsing and deflecting. "Well, I'm not signing on to that particular figure." Then the deflection.

I have a word for Axelrod and Obama: "Give me the money." I bet the people can spend it a lot more productively than Washington.
