Hey, I saved many jobs today! I went grocery shopping, stopped at the dry cleaners, had lunch out…everyone who made money from me today kept their job because I’m spending my unemployment money. Now I see how this works!

“No one in the Administration has a clue about the economy, or economics for that matter. The scariest part is that they really think they know what they’re doing . . . or they are certain that most American are too stupid to see what is happening around them.”

No. The administration knows about the economy and economics, they know what they’re doing, and are correct to think that most Americans don’t see what is happening around them.

You see, the administration deliberately wants to destroy the economy.

It’s all NewSpeak – white is black and black is white…

and most of the public seems to be too dumb, self-absorbed or apathetic to care. They can elaborate about American Idol, though.

It amazes me continually that Obama is still so personally popular when he lies so frequently. Remember transparent government – legislation will be posted for 5 days before votes so that the American people can read and understand it – no lobbyists in government? I could go on… The man is a serial liar.

20. Todd:

-Todd, I have absolute faith that you would spend or invest the $5 million better than any state or federal government. Hang in there, this too shall pass.

To paraphrase Ronald Reagan, “A recession is when your neighbor loses his job, a depression is when you lose yours, and a recovery is when Barrack Obama loses his.”

Sallie (#12): I’m just another moron, and I’ve been wondering what to do as well, and how about we actually take the US Constitution back as our own?

The second method prescribed is for a Constitutional Convention to be called by two-thirds of the legislatures of the States, and for that Convention to propose one or more amendments. These amendments are then sent to the states to be approved by three-fourths of the legislatures or conventions. This route has never been taken, and there is discussion in political science circles about just how such a convention would be convened, and what kind of changes it would bring about. – http://www.usconstitution.net/constam.html

Washington’s a lost cause, but maybe we can force enough of the idiots we’ve elected at the state government level to actually do what we the people want, and pass an amendment limiting spending to some percentage of the GDP, or requiring a 3/4 majority if it would increase the deficit, etc.

So the intent of this $787,000,000,000.00 legislation, which the president claimed would “create or save 3.5 to 4 million jobs,” was actually to “create or save” 150,000 jobs in the first 100 days, then hold fast at that number?

That seems like a wise investment — only $5.25 million of taxpayers’ dollars per job!

Hey, I lost my job around the same time they passed the “stimulus,” could I just get my 5 mil up front?

Sorry-Last sentence should have been “what color of paint to use on the walls of a building that has wrecking balls poised outside”.

We live in a “sound bite” society. Most people believe the MSM verbatim as well as whatever the people in office spew. there is very little fact-checking going on, and the Dems have learned to play to this very well. Example? If people had cut the MSM umbilical cord and fact-checked on Obambi, he would have not gotten enough votes to win the election. Many people are like chicks in the nest, staring skyward, waiting to be fed by mommabird MSM . They don’t use the freedoms they have to explore the facts available out there. Hey, but we excel in trivia- and we know a million factoids about our favorite team and star players..or did ya see that last episode of CSI? while Rome burns.Not to say that those pursuits are bad in themselves, we just are preoccupied with what to paint the walls on a building that has wrecking balls poised outside.
