Fiscal Policy: President Obama's much-anticipated jobs package reportedly costs hundreds of billions more in make-work temp jobs and food-stamp stimulus. He still doesn't get it.

I think there is. IMHO, nobama very much gets it. He's put together a plan that he will be able to fight over with the House. It will take some time for that fight to play out. When the dismal figues are released at the beginning of Oct, nobama can point his finger at the House and say, "See, the Republicans won't pass my plan. Look at these numbers. Because the Republicans won't pass my plan." Same thing will happen in Nov and Dec.

Meantime, nobama will continue doing everything he can to turn the USA into a turd-world country. With him as dictator for life, of course. Think he won't try that? I bet the EO is already written in draft form.

Looking at the ten items in the list, I can easily see President Palin doing that in a heartbeat. Well, as fast as she can.

nobama? Never in a million years.

Yes, of course it’s common sense. But that’s precisely why Obama won’t do it. A confirmed Marxist statist give up power? No way. To allow the free market to do it’s job and actually create wealth is something statists cannot tolerate. It’s like asking a vampire to drink holy water.

Here is Sanders (Saunders?) preview of the Obama speech.

Basically, it will be almost identical to the first one that didn’t work.

Like the Richter scale for earthquakes and the Scovill scale for peppers, some day governmental incompetence will be measured on the Obama scale.

IMO, the EPA should be disbanded and each state should be responsible for their own enviro laws and regulations. This alone would simulate many, many jobs in a lot of states.

When a gambling, drug or alcohol addict asks you for a loan of money they aren't offering you an opportunity to help change their life; they are just asking you to finance another hour, day or week of their addiction.

Obama the spending addict's grandiose plans are the same thing - he doesn't want to use the money to change the dynamic - he wants to use it to fund the system for another six months or so.

Obama spent very little of his $900 billion dollar Stimulus plan on the promised infrastructure rebuilding. He talked about rebuilding roads, bridges, water and sewer systems. After two years he laughed when he admitted that he knew all along those "shovel ready jobs" weren't really there. He wasn't laughing with us, he was laughing at us.

Instead, he directed much of the Stimulus to maintaining the status quo. It went to local and state governments, colleges and school systems to prevent needed budget cuts and financial restructuring from taking place. It was focused on bailing out his political allies and saving union jobs. When that money ran out the problems were still there.

The scam worked so well he wants to do it again.

I’ve got some Kryptonite for the RATs. The House Republicans should say we’ll put your stuff in the budget.

Spot-on. This needs to be lifted, wholesale, by our Presidential nominees and made into a policy plank.

When I type his last name I always use the numeral 0 and not the letter O.
