A Couple of Things...

obama really is serious about creating jobs. The two buses that were commisioned for the president, costing $1.1 million dollars each were all custom made... in Canada. See, he is all about stimulating the economy and putting people to work, just not in this Country.

Did you know that 1 in 7 people in this Country are now on food stamps? Did you know that food stamps are a form of economic stimulus? Well, according to obama's secretary of agriculture that's exactly what they are. This is what tom vilsack actually said -
When you talk about the SNAP program or the food stamp program, you have to recognize that it’s also an economic stimulus… If people are able to buy a little more in the grocery store, someone has to stock it, package it, shelve it, process it, and ship it. All of those are jobs. It’s the most direct stimulus you can get in the economy during these tough times.
Can you imagine though, how much of an economic stimulus it would be if the people drawing food stamps had good paying jobs and spent a portion of their paycheck at the grocery store?

It really seems as if this administration takes pride in the number of people on food stamps. If I were the guy in charge, my goal would be to have the fewest people possible drawing food stamps, unemployment or any other type of government check, including paychecks.

People want to work. They want to make a better life for themselves and their children.

Creating an environment of dependence on the government isn't good for the economy, it's the exact opposite. Especially when that environment is created through poor management, over regulation, over taxation and reckless spending.
