That’s right I am going to create 3,600 new jobs and it is only going to cost me $25. How am I going to create 3,600 new jobs just on $25? Why I am going to use what will now be called the “Oregonian Method.” What I am really going to do is create only one job that will last just one hour but I will hire 3,600 different people for 1 second each to work on the task and pay them $.00694 each for that one second.
Now wait a minute, you are probably screaming at me, this doesn’t really create 3,600 new jobs! In fact it probably doesn’t even really create 1. Well phooey on you I say! If Oregon can do it like this then so can I!
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) – How much are politicians straining to convince people that the government is stimulating the economy? In Oregon, where lawmakers are spending $176 million to supplement the federal stimulus, Democrats are taking credit for a remarkable feat: creating 3,236 new jobs in the program’s first three months.
But those jobs lasted on average only 35 hours, or about one work week. After that, those workers were effectively back unemployed, according to an Associated Press analysis of state spending and hiring data. By the state’s accounting, a job is a job, whether it lasts three hours, three days, three months, or a lifetime.
“Sometimes some work for an individual is better than no work,” said Oregon’s Senate president, Peter Courtney.
Yes, I am just being smarter about it than Oregon is and making sure I get the maximum number of jobs as I can out of my strategy which is their strategy. After all, a job is a job apparently no matter how long it lasts. In fact, if I take my plan national I figure I can create somewhere around 15,000,000 new jobs, each lasting only one second of course, for about $105,000 by paying one person to work for one second and then laying them off and hiring another person for one second then laying them off and so on. With a job creation record like that I would be a shoe in for President. And best of all no one can claim that I didn’t do it.
After all, the Oregonian
