The Poor Will Always Be With You

If you would like to see how Oregon is utilizing the ARRA "Economic Stimulus" funds received so far, trot on over to:
http://www.oregon.gov/recovery/StimulusReporting/index.shtml 
and get a thumbnail sketch of all the jobs "saved or created" by Oregon's 2.2 Billion-dollar slice of pork pie.
Health and Human Services: 54%, or 1.197 Billion Dollars, Zero jobs created
Education:                             6%, or  497 Million  Dollars, Zero jobs created
Public Safety:                      1.8%, or   40 Million Dollars,  Zero new, a few police jobs retained

By county, an average of 2/3 of all funds went to Medicaid (gracias, muchachas!), about 20% provided food stamps (otra vez, muchas gracias), and almost 1% went to Vocational Rehab (I'll drink to that!).
Notice that not a dime went toward enabling job creation by private industry?  Nothing in the way of tax reduction, credit for payroll increase, nothing. 
When a Democrat One-Term President gets play money from a Failed Democrat Congress to "give" to a Democrat-run Leftist State, the result is: More Government Spending, ZERO private-sector jobs, and a tanking economy fueled by record unemployment, zero new home construction, and lots and lots of new State Government Employees and their $55,000 average salaries and their $20,000 annual benefits packages for you to support. 
Feeling Stimulated Yet?
