DEMOCRATS IN DISARRAY ON TRILLION-DOLLAR “STIMULUS” THAT ISN’T WORKING
THE FREEDOM POST ^ | July 8, 2009 | TheCapitalist

Posted on 07/08/2009 1:42:21 PM PDT by TheFreedomPoster

Millions of American jobs have been lost in 2009, even though the Administration promised unemployment would not rise past eight percent if the Democrats’ trillion-dollar “stimulus” spending bill became law. But unemployment is now a staggering 9.5 percent, and middle-class families and small businesses are asking: Where are the jobs?

The Democrats have no idea where the jobs have gone, but they, Fur Shur, want to raise our taxes and take away our medical care.

Bunch of idiots if you ask me.

The jobs? Where the heck is the money? I though Obama said a website would be created that detailed every penny for the Americans to see. Yet, I can’t find anyone that will give me an accounting.

High unemployment. The fraudulent “stimulus” not working. When do you suppose the media will mention any of this?

Must be a heavy/busy website because I have had to force quit the last 3 times I read down to the 4th paragraph!

Will try again later.

The fact is government spending doesn’t create economic growth; small businesses create economic growth. And if the Democrats in charge of Washington want to take another shot at “stimulating” the economy, they should start by scrapping the job-killing health care and energy bills that are being rammed through Congress this summer,

and terminate porkulus before it does any more damage.

I think “slowing growth” is exactly what these fools want to do for whatever their reasons.

Call Biden’s office. I am sure he will give you the websites number.

Biden I think told the truth when he said the stimulus was “working” as they intended, because teachers and public employees didn’t get laid off.

It wasn’t about creating jobs or fixing the economy, it was about making sure that the people who voted for Obama didn’t lose their jobs.

So all the money went to states, with stipulations that it had to be spent expanding public service jobs.

With the stimulus, our stupid local school board voted a RAISE for our teachers, as if they were all going to quit otherwise. When the stimulus money runs out we’ll have a deficit. And these were mostly REPUBLICANS.

So Porculus I spent $760 trillion and produced no jobs. We’ll be paying the debt off into our great great grandkids generation. So what better thing to do than start lobbying for Porculus II.

Well our Marxist/Muslim POTU S wants not only slow but negative growth. As for his rubber stamp congress they're more worried about keeping their cushy jobs than the future of our country.

Normal, rational people would realize that it hasn’t worked and that they should try something else or stop trying.
Liberals see that it hasn’t worked and demand a stronger version of the plan that failed.

Exactly right they are holding the ecomony back to keep inflation at bay until after the 2012 election

Thanks for the link...I think the talents are much underutilized here at FR. I imagine we have enough talent to create a great news organization...
