Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner doesn't dispute that each job in the White House's jobs plan would cost taxpayers $200,000, but said the price tag is the wrong way to measure the bill's worth.
In an interview Monday with ABC News' David Muir, Geithner stressed that the true measure of the plan should be how it makes people feel.
"If borrowing a few billion makes you feel like you're doing something, it's worthwhile regardless of whether what you're doing makes sense," said Geithner. "Spending $200K for every $30K job created is at least doing something, which is better than doing nothing. Right?"
My comments: Yeah, our country's financial future is in some good hands here *sigh* -
