Why the Exaggerated Hysteria Over Stimulus Dollars Used for ‘Fast and Furious’ Guns?

By John W. Lillpop


The news that the Barack Obama-Erick Holder gun-running enterprise hijacked 10 million dollars from the trillion dollar stimulus bill to send AK-47s and other weapons to Mexico should come as no great surprise.

In fact, given the reputation of these two, it’s a wonder that the number is not closer to a cool billion dollars!

Many will gasp in horror at my flippancy and protest, “Those monies were supposed to be used to help the unemployed!”

Yes, that is true, but keep this in perspective, please!

According to Obama’s own bean counters, each job created by the stimulus package cost about $250,000. Which is about four jobs per million.

Another way of looking at it: The $10 million dollars skimmed off the stimulus bill represents just 40 total jobs that were less important to Obama than arming drug cartels in Mexico.

Forty jobs? Hardly worth worrying about—which is why Obama ain’t!
