$7.42 per person in shovel ready stimulus projects

[PostmodernProphet]

Note that that doesn't say $7.42/hr. It just says $7.42 per person. So for the whole job to be done, the ditch digger would get $7.42.

uh, no.....the ditch digger will get paid for what he works......but if he will PAY $7.42....some of which will stay in the hands of Washington bureaucrats....and some of which will stay in his state capital.....and a big chuck will go to the guy who owns the company he works for......and more will go to some corporation who sells cement......just the sort of thing Joe Steel loves so much.....
