EXCERPT
Tens of thousands of people will lose their jobs within weeks unless Congress extends one of the more effective job-creating programs in the $787 billion stimulus act: a $1 billion New Deal-style program that directly paid the salaries of unemployed people so they could get jobs in government, at nonprofit organizations and at many small businesses.
Did you expect differently? All these schemes are failing, as they should.
I don’t think the country is in any mood to extend anything with more ‘stimulus’ money, period.
This is just another example of how the ‘stimulus’ didn’t work and won’t work! It is a phony job creation.
We could have SAVED MONEY by handing out $20,000 to every man, woman and child in the United States instead of the mess we are dealing with now.
It’ll be a Merry Christmas for everyone who’s on Unemployment Benefits. /s
Just eliminate the income tax and corporate tax! Problem solved and unbridled economic growth!
