[lbo-talk] query: Does adding 1 million (decent) jobs really cutdeficit by 54 billion

That's "only" something like $54k for a single job.  Is that a 10-year 
number?

Ths flip side to this, of course, is that the US probably needs around 
12-13M jobs.  Presuming this statistic has a linear effect, 13M jobs = 
$702B of deficit reduction which would be nice, but doesn't fix the 
problem.
