What did he say?
I intent to create or retain 3 million jobs!
What you have to understand, is that he is voting present.
He’s got no plan, no game, no substance. The sad thing is, the media will not call him on this bull shit!
my guess is t hat illegal aliens will be getting those jobs.
I'll tell you though....a Viet Namese I know wore the same work shoes for over 10 yrs...she sends money to her mother, her husbands' mother, to her brothers and sisters, and if you get a relative in college, its expected that you will support them very generously....
I admire immigrant values....
I have never heard of any government grants used to purchase a hotel or motel and I know the details of scores of purchases. Usually the pattern for an immigrant is to come and work for a relative or friend for four, five or six years to refine their english, learn the business and save a nestegg. They scrub toilets, sweep and mop, man the desk and make beds, thousands of beds. They live, uh, frugally and save every penny. Usually they live in cramped quarters that Americans wouldn't put up with.
When they have learned the business, they start looking for a cheap motel with a small down payment. Family members are expected to help with this down payment. The last one I saw (for a larger property) had family contributing from $500 to $20,000, maybe 20 checks in all. Once in, they work like dogs to pay off those debts. Payment comes first before anything. It is a very honor based system and few disappoint. As the debts come off they look for a better property and trade up or go for multiple properties. They are then expected to help other family members who are starting out.
The opportunities in the motel business are, and always have been, equally open to whites as well as the Indians. Few whites will sacrifice like the Indians day in and day out to own their own business.
Some of them around here were just arrested for selling tobacco products without a tax stamp (in other words bootlegged) & not paying taxes owed.
Been there. Done that. Didn’t even get an orange jumpsuit. I’m all for ‘em if they can get away with it. Looks like they didn’t.
They have already been discussing the projects that the county will ask to have completed with federal funds. They were told that the projects had to be shovel ready, meaning no studies, training, etc. These will be union jobs. If the minorities are not union workers, they will be made union workers.
The guidelines say that the choice of projects will not be political, but the Democrat mayor in Bellingham says otherwise. He seems to think that the Governor will pick projects that benefit her main supporters, not rural counties, unless of course the project is on an Indian reservation.
So you are for breaking the law and not paying taxes that everyone else is obligated to pay? They were collecting taxes from customers just not paying it themselves.
There is a huge underground economy and as government grows bigger and more oppressive it will grow, too. It doesn't bother me a bit. The other day I had my tires rotated at a little shop that does such things. While I was waiting I couldn't help but notice that cash went in one register and checks another. Checks got a receipt. If a cash customer asked for a receipt the money went from the cash drawer to the check drawer. I happen to know the young man's father and, from him, that the young man is pulling north of 80 grand. Obama ain't getting that guy's money. Good on him.
New math, right?
You know he talks about education being too long range and for immediate help they need training. Well guess what, you can’t train somebody who is borderline illiterate, and has a sense of entitlement and bad work ethic to boot. They keep putting the cart before the horse and it just isn’t going to work. Unless somebody comes out and says listen folks, if you want to succeed you have to buckle down and work hard, nothing will change.
“Don’t you know, the latest projections were that we would lose 9.6 million jobs, and we only lost 5.5, so actually, I over achieved in my goal to preserve 3.5 million jobs by .6 million.”
“Yes, Lord Obama. Thank you. Without you, we are nothing.”
“Good. Now go finish your reports before your papers have to be out the door.”
New math, right?

Yep, and Obambi is going to need a doctorate in new math when he starts doing all those things he promised at Denver.
Thank you for the clarification and insight. I can appreciate sacrifice and hard work. I guess that there were rumors going around 15 years ago, claiming that our government gave the Indians seed money.
Thank you for the link. Actually I am currently trying to sell my farm. Then I am going to coast for a while, participating in the silent economic protest. It will be hard work, to be self sufficient and fly below the radar, but I’m up for the game.
