We Need More Stimulus Jobs

Los Tiempos del Los Angeles on Obama’s jobs speech:

He then provided a joint session of Congress with a broadly ambitious list of goals that sounded to many people very much like a lot more spending, like, say, the $787 billion economic stimulus bill of 2009 that didn’t stimulate much of anything except that national debt.

With the national debt already increasing $3 million every minute of every day, Obama wants to repair and modernize 35,000 schools. Obama wants $35 billion to go toward salaries for teachers, firefighters and police.

Obama wants $140 billion largely to update roads and bridges. Obama wants another $245 billion in business and individual tax relief. Obama also wants to extend unemployment benefits.

And Obama wants it all right now. Seriously. Now that his Martha’s Vineyard vacation is over, this situation is urgent.

Obama didn’t have room in his 4,021 word speech to mention how he intended to pay for all this new sounds-an-awful-like-increased-new-stimulus-spending-but-we’re-not-using-that-word-anymore.

Aides said Americans should trust the president and sometime soon he would be outlining the finances that would not increase the national debt by one dime, honest.

So in other words he wants to “do” the very same things he has already “done” that accomplished absolutely nothing. The only difference is that he’s dressing up this pig and calling her by a different name. Awesome.

Our president is officially intellectually bankrupt, yet still insists that we give him almost 1/2 a trillion dollars so that we can try, yet again, to “create” jobs in ther very same way that failed the last time he tried it.
