Meanwhile, Back on Earth...

Last week the Obumble administration revised the "newspeak" term "jobs created (zero) or saved " (-1,650,000 since he took office), and now speaks in terms of  "jobs funded,"  since no real jobs have either been created nor saved by the 860 Billion-dollar "economic stimulus" law passed last January.  So, the "funding" has been provided to create jobs, but there's no point in creating a job if there's no industry capable of providing said jobs.  Building new homes is at a standstill:  plumbers, carpenters, brickmasons, tilesetters, truck drivers, sawyers, and the list goes on and on, are stuck with "looking for work" as pizza cooks, telemarketers, and dog walkers, none of which pays a living wage.   Intel, HP, Tek and others are laying off faster than Rosie O'Donald at an all-you-can-eat dessert bar. Why do you suppose that 8 or ten million illegals went back home?  Not due to the goodness of their hearts, but because  there are NO YOBS for them to steal.
Time to wake up and smell the Yuban, folks:  this recession is going to be here for a long while.  This is the worst possible time to raise taxes and/or  create "entitlements" such as Federalized healthcare "management."  Since the same type of bureaucrats who "saved" the nation's economy and "averted" the latest Islamo-facist terror attack will be put in charge of our medical care,  include me out.
