Obama hopes to create jobs with $50bn
[Iran Press TV] US President Barack B.O. Obama has lobbied for a rise in spending on transportation projects in an attempt to create jobs for the ailing middle class.
... because we got lotsa money and we should spread it around to B.O.'s contributers...
The USD 50 billion plan is an initial step in a six-year transportation program that includes building, repairing or maintaining thousands of miles of roads, rail lines and airport runways, the News Agency that Dare Not be Named reported.

The plan was unveiled by Obama on the Labor Day during in a privately held meeting with governors, mayors, and transportation officials. The plan comes as the US unemployment rate continues to remain close to 10 percent.
Good idea. Put the ten percent of the populace that's unemployed to work on public works projects. By the time World War II rolls around the depression should be almost over.
The administration says the plan would particularly help create middle-class jobs in the construction, manufacturing and retail sectors.
"Where's the money come from?"
"Same place."

#1  If he gave my brother and I $50B we could start a company that would employ 20,000+


Thats probably way more than the 'fiscal stimulus' will ever be able to claim.

But I guess that would be missing the point altogether.

#2  50 Billion tax to fund will destroy more jobs than it creates.

#3  He's run out of Hopium.

#4  "Hopium"

DB, that's great. LOL.

#5  He'll need good runways, bridges, and roads to move his Obama Federal Enforcement Army around after this entire leftest, ponzi scheme collapses.

The only CIA agent to ever defect to Cuba was Phillip Agee

He was in charge of the South American Desk. Under, I think, Johnson he was asked to do an analysis of the difference between the Democrat and the Republican party. His conclusion was that ...they were both made controlled by rich elites that were exploiting most of the people. The difference was that the Democratic Elites felt guilty about being exploiters so they were constantly inventing ways to transfer money to the current group they were feeling most guilty about. The Republican elites didn't feel that guilt. Other than that he saw no difference. Then he defected to that Worker's Paradise of CUBA were EVERYTHING IS SHABBY AND AWFUL! While there he wrote his tome "Inside the CIA".

The point of this response being.... just like TV content being vacuous so to are the political parties. And being vacuous they can't help to help themselves to the taxpayers money as they fiddle about like Uncle Ernie....
and if your a democrat you assuage your guilt and improve your chances with the Next Deprived community by giving My money to Your Favorite Guilty party.
In this case it will be on works projects that put illegal Mexican's to work (the so called "jobs American's nie Whites won't do".)

#7  "Hopium"

Decays into Bureaucratium. Hopium's half life is about 9 to 24 months. Bureaucratium's half life has yet to be determined.

#8  Bureaucratium's half life has yet to be determined

At least as long as we live.

Ummm, besoeker. It may be prophetic, but the Interstates 65 and 85 just each got an additional two lanes through Montgomery Alabama, both were just widened, and they're almost finished (Both await a new finish coat of Asphalt) and that, plus painting is all that's left to do.
Both also got New "Jersey Bariers" through the city as well.

#1  Not a single incumbent Senator deserves re-election after the unanimous support of the Senate for HR 3083 last week.

#2  Reid didn't want Obummble campaigning for him?
Posted by: JohnQC || 10/13/2010 9:47 Comments || Top||

#3  HR 3083 doesn't bring up anything current. Another HR, maybe?

#4  "There's a reason these people running these ads under phony committee names, because if you knew who was behind ads you would know they were not true.

Look, Bubba’s not calling the crowd stupid here. He’s saying people are generally lazy and overall just plain ignorant. It’s the subtle difference that helps Progressives feel superior. Just like if you really knew what ObamaCare was all about you would like it.

#5  Regarding that picture, last night we ate at a very good Barbecue place, they had shirts Showing a pig, like the center one, and the caption"You can smell our Butts a mile away".

I love it.

One must often do unpalatable things whilst rebuilding one's pile of political markers.

#7  So, can I now call him Stumpy? It's really close to Stimpy. There isn't much difference.

#8  #3 - I mixed up the digits: "H.R. 3808, the Interstate Recognition of Notarizations Act, zipped through the infamously gridlocked senate last week on a unanimous vote."
