UPDATEx2: Not One Thin Dime

For the private sector. Anybody notice that?

“Lawmakers convened today for anticipated approval of a Senate-passed bill aimed at preventing thousands of layoffs of teachers and other government employees.”

UPDATE:
And to add insult to injury, the Dems seem to think its okay to allow public employee unions to run ads against the GOP using funds from that bailout.

I’d say that’s criminal.

UPDDATEx2:
And now, no soup for you.
“But the bill also requires that $12 billion be stripped from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, commonly known as food stamps, to help fund the new bill …”

Daily soap operas can’t do better than the real issues of the day.

Can We Take Back the Senate?

It would seem so. Someone thinks so.

Energy More Or Less

Have we got shortages and blackouts to look forward to?

Perhaps we could learn something from India and develop one, and more (lots more), of these.

The Costs Of A Job

As explained by Michael P. Fleischer in his article, “Why I’m Not Hiring.”
Found in the Wall Street Journal, its Opinion Journal section.

Good paper. Good information. Which is why I think anyone interested in our current state of economic affairs should read this particular piece to better understand how much it costs a company to keep an employee.

And why the given climate is making it more difficult to hire and easier to choose to not hire.

Keep an open mind. These details you perhaps don’t even know about.
After reading it, ask yourself why (some? most?) high schools do not teach basic economics. Perhaps some do, the one I attended certainly did not.

Coming This Fall

A controversial look at government spending.

And Just Where Are Our Jobs?

Apparently, $22M (from us) is being sent to train Information Technology workers – in Asia.

Yeah. How about that. It’s cheaper over there.

Now we know where the priorities of our Administration lies.

Lies. Yeah. Uhuh. Got it.

Guess we have to move over there now. Somehow, I don’t think we wanted that.

So When Are We Talking Real Money?

Another $26B promissory note.

I don’t know, how about both sides (Senate and House) go on summer break at the same time?

Good Lord.

We Have Met The Enemy

But it is not Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

This man is doing the job the entire Federal Government refuses to do.
He has a price on his head per the Mexican drug cartel.

And now the DOJ is going to sue him.

I mentioned this to Sean & Frank on WCBM one morning not too long ago. That the guvmint was also sending a message to the county sheriffs that participate in the 287G ICE program. Besides sending that message to Arizona’s Governor about their newly crafted SB 1070.

(I had no idea I was so prophetic at the time.)

The Administration’s message? “Don’t bother the illegals.”

Well, come November 2, 2010, we aren’t going to bother re-electing any incumbents.

We need to divide the government, folks. Single party control is not good for us.

Stupid Is As Stupid Does

Pete Stark.

Why is this idiot still in Congress?
