In an unprecedented successful stimulus story, the glorious city of angels has created or retained a whopping 55 jobs!
“I’m disappointed that we’ve only created or retained 55 jobs after receiving $111 million,” said Wendy Greuel, the city’s controller.
For you math buffs out there, that’s just a little over $2,000,000 per job created.
So why do I feel that this is a success and not a complete and utter failure?
Because L.A. is full of movie stars and musicians. Even Forbes states that from 2008 to 2009 the top 15 celebrities earned a combined and astronomical $1.6 BILLION, thus averaging almost $107 Million per person. So $2 Million per job seems like a bargain doesn’t it? Well doesn’t it??
Now the next time you see a famous star slamming the politics of the right and promoting the politics of the left, pay attention. They make a sick amount of dough compared to you and they know better than you.

Could they not have just paid each of these 55 bozos $100,000 each and saved $105.5 Million?
