Nothing to do with race but I totally agree. Both the Russians and Irish illegals here in NY are excellent workers.
Both tend to be hard drinkers after work (at least the ones I know) but they rarely miss a day of work.

“Why didn’t Porkulus create tons of new jobs?”

Because it was crafted in the 6 months prior by Daschle et al, in back rooms, anticipating that Obama would be elected.

It basically was the omnibus spending plan for every idea the Dems wanted over the next 4 years. The Dems simply used the crisis to get it passed.

Yes, the rest will be spent from Aug-Nov. 2010. The American people will never, never figure it out.

It's a different world here.
Up until the ozero phenomenon our unemployment was always 0.
Anyone who wanted to to work could always find a job, not so now however.

“Over my dead body.”

I hear they’re willing to count that provision in as part of the bargain. As a matter of fact, I’m sure you’ve read here on FR about chemo being denied in Oregon when assisted suicide is approved.......

I wish I were kidding.

On another subject...

Around these parts, I am starting to see not only stores close as per usual, but also grocery stores cut hours and more expensive departments/high cost items. There’s a look in people’s eyes. Even younger ones.

Back during The Great Depression, President Herbert Hoover ordered the deportation of ALL illegal aliens in order to make jobs available to American citizens that desperately needed work.

Harry Truman deported over two million Illegal’s after WWII to create jobs for returning veterans.

And then again in 1954, President Dwight Eisenhower deported 13 million Mexican Nationals! The program was called ‘Operation Wetback’. It was done so WWII and Korean Veterans would have a better chance at jobs. It took 2 Years, but they deported them!

Now...if they could deport the illegal’s back then - they could surely do it today!

I have lost quite a few friends over the election.

I think maybe in fact the family is better off without them. In the long run, it does matter whom you trust.

Once we go to socialized medicine, the population will be forced to submit to having their lives run by the federal government.

Over my dead body.

...which they are probably counting on to make KenyaKare viable.
