| #3 Those NIMBY programs looking good now? Well, there's always that Yucca Mountain thingy hung up in Congress and the courts that could be moved if you really really wanted the jobs. |

| #2 And that doesn't include people who's unemployment have run out, unemployed self-employed (1099 contractors) people, or new graduates who can't find jobs. If the official rate is 15%, the actual rate is probably "Great Depression". With Obama's policies of having government debt saturate the credit market, increase in small business taxes, and potential taxes / cost increases from Obamacare and Cap & Tax - expect this to get even worse. |

| #1 It's so bad one Michigan town is seeking to have Gitmo inmates moved there: "We'll take the most dangerous prisoners the world has to offer if we have to," corrections officer Paul Piche said Monday. "Anything that keeps the prison open is fine with me," said Perry Pelton, owner of Wheeler's Restaurant on Main Street. Proposals to send Gitmo prisoners to Ft. Leavenworth KS have met with a much different response: "These people are a lot more dangerous than anybody we have here," said Leavenworth resident A.C. Byrd, a retired Army noncommissioned officer. "Their mission is to kill Americans and anyone who disagrees with them." |
