Case example.

Because the cost of a job created, is only the paycheck in Crazy World.

UPDATE: For a review- here's the stimulus package.



Here's the Moody.com assessment of stimulus dollars per strategy.



Here's Paul Krugman on "too little of a good thing."

again, these numbers aren't true.  the AP already has debunked this on Friday.  But soon in a few days we will see what the story is. 
how do people account for "saved' jobs.  that's stretching the truth.
 
And only in crazy world does the CBO's estimate of 1,050 billion =  $787 billion for health "reform"

Re: When Stupid People Use Math
yes, i realize it was from an AP opinion piece but i also know the AP found many issues on Friday that was supported by facts.
 
even if the Republicans math is off (which it is) that doesn't mean the White House's numbers from Friday are factual since the numbers that had released on Thursday weren't according to the AP.

Re: When Stupid People Use Math
On Friday, the White House released estimates that $160 billion in stimulus spending created or preserved 650,000 direct jobs.

This is the WH base claim.

What does this have to do with your statement;

And only in crazy world does the CBO's estimate of 1,050 billion =  $787 billion for health "reform"

Which came from where? Please cite your "facts."

In addition;

even if the Republicans math is off (which it is) that doesn't mean the White House's numbers from Friday are factual since the numbers that had released on Thursday weren't according to the AP.

The numbers come from a press release from the WH, which is from the CBO or the GAO. Both these organizations produce facts by using theoretical models from statistics to make projections, as well as using their usual data sets to report what already is happening or has happened. Prior to claiming "Liar" like the repugnant douchebag from South Carolina, Rep. Wilson... perhaps you should offer some actual evidence that the figures are in error?
