It’s about the jobs? Some jobs, those that government provides, are generally useless to the public at large. They do nothing to stimulate growth, or quality of life that the free market has and continues to do.
Most of the garbage in this bill that does actually create a job is in the construction industry. What about that poor slob that is a car salesman? How does that help him? Just sayin’.
Obama’s Stimulus Creates Useless Jobs
by Ben Shapiro
There’s one reason, and one reason only, that President Barack Obamas stimulus passed so swiftly through Congress: Most Americans are worried about their jobs. And Barack Obama promises to save or create four million jobs. Even Obama’s most ardent opponents embrace the make jobs programs embedded in the stimulus. Construction projects that put people to work, that fits the bill, Sarah Palin told Greta Van Susteran of Fox News. But these big, huge, expanded social programs that’s not right, that’s not fair.
Neither Republicans nor Democrats get it. The problem isnt just the pork barrel social welfare spending. It’s not merely the redistributionist scheme disguised as tax cuts. The public relations backbone of this bill — government spending on our nations crumbling infrastructure — is misguided. While the country’s infrastructure may need revamping, this sort of spending will not stimulate the economy. It will not create the kind of jobs Americans need.
You just wont accept anything Obama does as being productive and right, will you?
He’s trying to create jobs! If more jobs get created, then that will stimulate the economy.
To even suggest that a job is “useless” in a time of economic crises, is pathetic. I cannot believe the Right Wing STILL thinks they know what’s best.
SO you think the government is the answer?
Government is the problem. It has been for many years, including the Bush years.
Have you looked at the spending bill?
Do you see the so called jobs being created by it?
$17 billion went to a pork project in Puerto Rico, how is that creating jobs?
Socialism and big government doesn’t work. Bush was socialism lite.
Less government. More freedom. That’s what America needs.
When Obama gets something right, I’ll say so.
Until then, this is what you’ll get.
