Teacher who supported Obama education "stimulus" bill gets laid off—twice
Examiner ^ | October 16, 2010 | Marc Schenker

A teacher who supported Barack Obama’s education "stimulus" bill ends up getting laid off—twice! Toledo Public Schools teacher Amanda VanNess, a young lass of 25 years, agreed to fly to Washington to stand behind President Obama and give him symbolic support as he signed his much-touted (but ultimately very empty) "education" stimulus bill on August 10. While she was already unemployed at that time, the expectation was that Obama’s all-saving bill would "stimulate" local Toledo schools into hiring her. However, for poor, little Amanda, not only was her effective lay off date August 25, but after she was hired for a permanent position as a second-grade substitute shortly thereafter, she was notified on October 1 that she would be laid off—again. Wait a second! Does this really mean, then, that the all-powerful "awesomeness" of the Democrats’ mightiest weapon, the "stimulus" bill, really doesn’t work?? Say it ain’t so!

As I understand it the stimulus bill paid to keep these people on or a year and then it is up to the states to come up with the money to keep them//

The states do not have the cash to keep them on and a lot more will be getting pink slips.

This is the perfect metaphor for that complete failure of a 1 trillion dollar stimulus that our kids are now struck with paying for.

Everything about 0bama is Fantasyland, not just the Health Care Law.

Socialism - not a really good idea for improving a free market economy.

What the hell, it only took us a few trillion dollars to start to learn that lesson?

It makes me smile each time I hear that an Obama voter has lost their job.
