When President Barack Obama comes to Charlotte today to tour Celgard, a battery-parts maker that has received $49 million in stimulus money, he's sure to tout how government money will put people to work.
He's visiting a company that hasn't yet spent any of its stimulus money, according to federal documents.
Celgard wouldn't talk Thursday about its plans or the specifics of its grant. The governor's office has said the money will help create about 300 jobs over the next five years.
Please figure out how much the 300 jobs cost when you spend 49 million?If thats the libs idea of job creation no wonder we are in the situation we are.
