It's time for another installment of "Let's do the math"! I'll wait a couple minutes for all you "social science" majors to clear out. Everybody else? Good.
The Obama administration "invested" in America to get America working again. How's that working out for us? Obama seems convinced that "green energy" is the wave of the future and the path to prosperity, creating thousands of jobs. Let's take a look at two of the administration's efforts
$20 Million for an insulation project in Seattle to conserve energy: Net 14 jobs.
$500 Million dollars for a solar cell manufacturer in California: Net -1,100 jobs.
Let's recap, shall we? $520 Million dollars spent, brought the US a net of one thousand and eighty six jobs lost.
Like the brother-in-law who's totaled every car you've ever loaned him, why do I have the feeling that Obama is going to ask us for the keys again Thursday night, and telling us, "This time it will be different"?

Not to distract, but math is fun! Sometimes it's required to fall asleep, i.e. counting sheep. but that doesn't work for me. What has worked for me, And I don't know why I've gone here, calculating that if one were to maintain the constant velocity of a top fuel funny car during it's first second of acceleration for 31 hours the speed of light would be achieved. The only problem is the G force would have killed the driver after just 10 seconds....
ReplyDeleteGood to know! I usually back off the accelerator after eight seconds, so it hasn't been a problem for me!
