You see, its really easy...
If you don't include something in the budget, then you are really not paying for it. Conservative Economics 101
LOL. And when you include "part time jobs" in your employment numbers, unemployment goes waaaayyyyy down.
They also included contract workers who already have a job....and overtime as jobs saved or created. 4 hours of overtime equals one job saved or created.
Fuzzy math is what they live off of.
The worst part of the fuzzy math is the notion that without the stimulus bill NONE of these jobs (getting past whether they even exist at all or not) would have ever happened. In reality since government is actually a poor source for creating sustainable jobs in the first place, had this money been spent by the private sector in the private sector -not only would FAR MORE JOBS have been created -they would have been sustainable jobs as well. Government make-work projects don't work to get a country out of a recession and hey, we already found that out under FDR when his make-work projects didn't do a damn thing for unemployment numbers or getting us out of a depression. Common sense is NOT so common since those in Congress claim to be normal yet should KNOW we cannot SPEND our way out of a recession - because when those bills come due, it will result in a double dipped recession and possibly outright depression instead.
The phony stimulus bill that largely went to pay off Democrat supporters was a dreadful, inefficient and ultimately ineffective use of OUR money. And still the arrogant idiots in DC think another round of massive government spending even more money we don't have and are increasingly unlikely to ever have -is just what we need. And it will only be siphoned off to Democrat supporters and districts once again -this Congress is BLATANTLY and unapologetically CORRUPT. And should be thrown out of office.
At some point it becomes undeniable what they are really up to when they keep right on adding to their nonstop spending spree -that spending us into bankruptcy is actually a goal of theirs because that fits with their much broader agenda. Which is not and never has been about the best interests of this nation. It is about their party's best interests and bankrupting the country would actually work to cement and more permanently entrench their power. Doing so would result in more people looking to government and becoming financially dependent on government -and a government-dependent people are far more likely to vote for the very party that did it and then promises to dole out a tiny sliver more back to them. And ALWAYS claiming to do so only at the expense of the "rich" because class warfare is a NECESSARY Democrat and liberal tool and they will NEVER stop using it. Democrats constantly accuse some group of fellow Americans of being the nation's enemy -ones that must be destroyed by force of government. As if it is only THEIR country and whichever group they deem the "enemy" have fewer rights as Americans than they do. The "rich" are a perennial favorite and routine standby and will always be dragged out by Democrats. Even when there are no rich people left -except themselves of course. Because these are the people who will ALWAYS exempt themselves from that which they ram down the throats of everyone else. Those in power always makes sure to vote themselves the most comfortable package at OUR expense -while we are denied those same benefits at all times.
Everything about this administration is a hoax and nothing is being done for the reasons given to the public -whether discussing cap-and-trade, global warming, stimulus bill -or health care reform. A monstrosity of a bill that is CALLED "health care reform" but in reality has NOTHING to do with health, care or reform. Even the Congressional Budget Office says the Democrats' 2,000+ page atrocity will make premiums RISE even faster than they are and will ADD massively to health care costs. AND in addition, it takes phony juggling of the numbers to try and hide from the most ignorant in this country that this bill will actually cost more than 2 TRILLION dollars as a low ball estimate -even more money we don't have and never will! (To say nothing of the fact that no entitlement has EVER come in for less than 4 times the original estimate and often many times more than that - and neither will this. It will end up costing many more times than the phony estimates being tossed around -which are already OUTRAGEOUS considering we are BROKE and don't have the money!) It only adds to the rate we will become bankrupt as a nation. And still the Democrats WANT this and are intent on ramming it down our throats in spite of the fact the majority of people OPPOSE IT. They don't care what WE THE PEOPLE want, they don't care this will do the exact opposite of what they CLAIM were their goals -and intend to FORCE this on us all anyway.
Which begs the question -if it doesn't achieve their stated goal of bringing down overall health care costs, lowering premiums and streamlining the health care system, then why favor a bill that will undeniably do the exact opposite? They want it because it is about expanding the control and power of government over YOU. And at the expense of YOUR freedoms which will be forfeited to government. Which has been their REAL goal all along and with these bills that do the exact opposite of their pretend goals, can no longer be denied. This is all about stripping WE THE PEOPLE of power and handing it over to GOVERNMENT. If government controls your health care, it controls YOU -right down to what you are allowed to eat and how long you are allowed to stay in the shower. If government controls these things and can (and will) punish you for not eating what they want you to eat and for not getting out of the shower when they want you to -then you aren't a free person and this will no longer be a free country.
FREEDOM is only an illusion if government punishes you for not exercising your "freedoms" the way those in POWER want you to.
