  1. It costs $246,436 per job under the stimulus plan. Is this the best way to spend taxpayer's hard earned money? http://tinyurl.com/yfw8k6g
  2. So far...more of the same. PA contiues to create/retain thousands of jobs each month, yet unemployment continues to rise to historic levels.
  3. Next stimulus commission meeting today at 11 a.m. at the Forum building.
  4. Two articles discussing stimulus jobs in Congressional districts that don't exist!! http://tinyurl.com/ykta6vb http://tinyurl.com/ylejflh
  5. Interesting look into the cost per job created by stimulus money in PA. $613k per job? Wasteful spending. http://pawatercooler.com/?p=16836
  6. How can PA report to FHWA that 3,304 jobs were created or sustained in July? The Feds haven't completely figure out how to determine this!
  7. Jobs, jobs, jobs. We are told the Feds are developing ways to determine what an ARRA job is, but we won't have any numbers until October.
  8. Reminder that the next Stimulus Commission meeting will take place today at 11 a.m. at the Forum Place in Harrisburg.
  9. Some stimulus jobs in Oregon only last for 1 week. Is PA in the same boat? Is this acceptable? http://tinyurl.com/lkzskq
  10. Temporary nature of ARRA funds shows the folly of Rendell and D's plan to bloat Basic Ed. with it. Why dig a deeper hole to fill later?
  11. What happens when stimulus money runs out? Lawmakers around the nation are worried...PA should be as well!! http://tinyurl.com/nmmwek
  12. CONFIRMED...there is no way to substantiate the job numbers that Rendell testified to before a Congressional panel. He just made them up...
  13. @Sam1963 correction...not 5 jobs...8 jobs totaling more than a half a million already.
  14. Apparently they cannot honestly tell us if the House D budget plan would jeopardize stimulus funds. very unsettling...
  15. Looks like we cant determine whether the jobs associated with ARRA monies are created jobs or current employees working on stimulus projects
  16. stimulus oversight commission meeting at 11 a.m. today. are we going to get some real answers?
  17. Rendell's application for education stimulus funds rejected. Note Rep. Glenn Thompson's comment. Imagine that!! http://tinyurl.com/nslo72
  18. Another article touches on the ineffectiveness of the stimulus package. Was this the best way to spend $787 mil?? http://tinyurl.com/mh5ocy
  19. Patriot News points out that the federal stimulus money isn't creating jobs. Imagine that...wasting more money. http://tinyurl.com/m49zsd
  20. PA unemployment now at 8.2%. 18,000 more jobs were lost in May. Is the stimulus money working? We need more jobs in PA...NOW!!
