#1 I'm confused. Exactly how are job generated by paying someone not to work with money borrowed from the Chinese?

#2 That's because you haven't mastered dialectical materialism, Darth.

#4 I think he means (but who can tell) that the extension of the payroll tax cut would create jobs. In ordinary times it likely would, but the short duration and small dollar amount has already been priced in by the investment and business communities.

#5 Temporary tax cuts have little effect on long term behavior and tend to get saved rather than spent.

#8 two proposals that Obama said would create more jobs than the Keystone XL pipeline that his administration recently ~~delayed~~ stopped.

Canada said it's O.K. with them if we want to make the U.S. a national park. They will sell the oil to the Chicoms.

BO's statement indicates he has no concept of economics. That is why we are in deep $hit. The money has to come from the taxes of those working or it is borrowed from the Chicoms (in which case it eventually falls back on the taxpayers).
