Nothing beats a good “no show” government job with early retirement and full benefits for life.

These people a freaking idiots.

You can't fix a debt problem with more debt.

How deep are we going to bury our children and their children in debt and debase our currency to prove what should have been obvious from the start?

They aren't fit to run a garage sale.

There are temporary jobs and then there are permanent or at least long-term jobs.

Spending with a low or negative multiplier effect creates temporary make-work jobs that end when the money is gone.

The only residual effect of that kind of spending is debt.

Thank you, Barky, for not bothering to understand the way business works.

Remember, we can’t have any of those jobs going to “....white construction workers.”

Yep.

And I believe that my union carpenter gentleman friend is finally convinced that I was right.

Changing hearts and minds, one person at a time :-)

The goal wasn't to create jobs it was punish our economy and those of us that work and play by the rules.

Where's the money? I would like to know. Has anyone asked for an accounting of it? I wish we still had a two party system in this country.

The so called stimulus plan was never meant to create jobs. It was meant to create a stronger more centralized form of government to advance the socialist cause. The more the socialists spend the better for them. It's part of the Cloward-Piven Strategy

Not new here in the South. As a small business owner, I have witness this for years.

Where's the money anyway?

Thank you for that. I actually couldn’t recall who first made that remark. I’m sure my friend will watch that now. As you can probably discern, we were polar opposites politically in the last election. My purpose is not to rub it in... but to educate. Thanks again.

The money is already spent. Most of it went over seas to Goldman Sachs, etc and the rest went out to the blue states that have taxed and spent themselves into bankruptcy. The money went to cover their payrolls, benefits/pension shortfalls and operating budgets.

That’s why they claim that only 80 Billion of it has been spent so far. That’s because that’s all of it that is left after the vultures ransacked the carcass.

Of course, you won’t hear about it in the SRM. And this is why MORE “Stimulus” money is being planned very soon. The Legislation knows good and well what happened and where it went. Which is why they are not wasting their time or effort to get it out.

The Federal “Reserve” will just print more money and then buy back it’s own bonds to create the illusion that it has monitary value. It is only Keynesian Economics 101, brainstormed and considered “brilliant” by ObaMao’s minions, Ben Burn-yank-me especially. It will fail, but the damage will go beyond our repair.

“Where’s the money anyway?”

Why aren’t you “...too busy...” to ask that?

We got into this mess by allowing government to bloat and spending too much.
Obama's solution:
Bloat government more, spend way, way more!

LOL. I forgot to watch the news and get my daily Obama briefing this morning.

My mission this week is to ask,”where's the money and the jobs.”

The stimulus has succeeded in its intended purpose, which is to reward the ‘Bama’s worshippers for delivering him the White House. America has been pillaged and raped with the grinning approval of the media.

The false premise that everyone is basing their argument on is that this was ever intended to create jobs.

Do not answer a fool according to his folly,
or you will be like him yourself.
