They are insane.

If Republicans go along with more deficit spending on public employee union projects, maybe it's time to a page out of the Alec Baldwin impeachment book and take up stoning politicians.

It's unsustainable. If a broke government throws money at these projects, they must hire more public employee union workers which means an increase in pension liability and even more obligations that they cannot pay because they don't have the revenue!

We can't pay for the ones we have, we do not need one even more government job. Only a private sector recovery will turn things around.

Adding to the government's overburdened payroll is worse than irrational, it's suicidal.

Let’s see once again, what is the definition of insanity?

Insanity? No, this is pure unadulterated stupidity.

Looks like they will be looking for those black top jobs that are already in the works by the Union goons and then they will start the repaving again and make a bunch of new recovery signs, nothing new here but smoke and mirrors.

The Democrat Party is comprised of every loose bulb in the marquee over the entry to the theater of the absurd.

Close the ticket booth down NOW.

Thanks to Democrat/Commies, it can get a lot worse. Solzhenitsyn tells us of a USSR canal-building project where they didn’t have tools, and a friend told me of a digging project in Red Square where the men moved dirt around on ... something like stretchers, one man on eavh end.

Exactly and Nice post thanks.

The Democrat Party is the political equivilent to the family that can’t pay its bills or put food on the table but continue to buy cigarettes and lottery tickets. Thinking, this time we’ll get lucky!

Insanity means doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. The dems are insane.

“Hey, it didn’t work before so let’s try it again!”

I would argue that their previous “job stimulus” did in fact stimulate jobs, their own political jobs by helping to line the pockets of democrats helping them to hold on to a lot of their house and senate seats even after their treasonous Act of Abomination.

Indeed its lingering “stimulative effects” will no doubt be felt in 2012, as the company’s, unions, and individuals that pocketed all that money send much of it right back into the coffers of the DNC and Democratic canaditits.

Well, it makes no sense to a person with common sense, so of
course it is exactly what the “pie-in-the-sky” DUmmies would do!

GEEEEEEEEZ!

Eliminate all capital gains taxes for 3 months on a trial basis and see what happens. The economy would catch fire.

There are plenty of jobs.

The illegal aliens have them.
