Was the Stimulus Really Worth the Costs? Absolutely Not of Course

Cost-benefit analysis of jobs stimulus

Dec 7, 2009 12:23 EST

Hopefully any new plan will have a better ROI than the current stimulus package. Economic analyst  Ed Yardeni runs the numbers:

The Obama Administration is touting that their stimulus program has saved or created 640,329 jobs since it was enacted back in February through the end of October. This number is updated and posted on the Administration’s recovery.gov web site. That amounts to $246,436 per job based on the $157.8bn that has been awarded so far!
