Post by native »

Just another obamalie:

"...The government has overstated by thousands the number of jobs it has created or saved with federal contracts under the president's $787 billion recovery program, according to an Associated Press review of data released in the program's first progress report..."

There isn't a single credible economist who will tell you it is possible to determine the number of jobs "saved" by government "stimulus".
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."

- Thomas Jefferson, in letter to William S. Smith, 1787

It's like anything Federal...

Federal jobs program - you're going to hear all about the jobs
Federal Space Program you're going to hear all about the progress
Federal Stimulus program blah blah blah
Federal infrastructure program blah blah

It's called Rhetoric :nod: and it's the hallmark of Federal run programs and initiatives
