No. The government sucks, from Obama to the congress and Senate. It seems like they are spending on too much crap than investing in ventures that can maybe one day produce profit or break even.

The results will impossible to hide from the American people for very long... no matter how much interference the mainstream media runs for the Administration.



as some of the guys here are book readers............ can I ask them the read the above post and then think about the "Ship of Fools" from the middle ages laugh


And I would point you to Will Durant's 11 volume "The Story of Civilization" and one of my all-time favorite books "Basic Economics" by Dr. Thomas Sowell - oh! and could forget to add Ayn Rand's classic "Atlas Shrugged" to the list.

I feel like that kid in that movie... you know... the "I see foolish people... they're everywhere..." movie, with Bruce Willis? Where he's a dead guy himself but doesn't know it? And the kid sees ghosts not foolish people? Remember? smirk

But I digress... time will soon reveal who crews the ship of fools. nod

Enjoy the ride while the seas are calm... but I'd start stocking up on the Dramamine were I you... nod


The movie's called the Sixth Sense.

Just figured I'd throw that in here...

It's not about jobs coming back, it's about how soon. The entire premise of the stimulus package was to limit the extent and duration of the downturn.

I mean 'still expects more jobs in the long term'? What use is a statement like that?
