Number of the Day

225,429

The amount of money spent per job in the Democrat "stimulus" package.

The total package will put taxpayers on the hook for $789 billion in new spending. Democrats claim it will create 3.5 million new jobs over a period of years. Even if these numbers are accurate, that leaves the "stimulus" plan at $225,429 per job.

Republicans want more jobs, less debt.
