Blushing With Success
In what is almost surely the most pathetic news of the week, it turns out that Barry’s masterplan to escape our crushing debt burden by borrowing an even larger sum of money has been a complete bust.
The official Porkulous site – Recovery.gov – is shamelessly boasting that $16 billion of our money has so far created/saved a magnificent 30,383 jobs.
Among those States whose economies have been singlehandedly saved by Barry’s robber-baron antics are West Virginia, Connecticut and New Hampshire, where a monumental 31, 20 and 22 jobs have been created/saved. I dread to think what would have happened to those States had Porkulous not been passed.
Why, they would certainly have succumbed to violent revolution had those tens of jobs not been heroically saved.
At a cost of $532,000 per job.
By the way, this $16 billion is only a small slice of the $339 billion awarded in federal contracts. So where the eff did the rest of that money go? To the UAW? SEIU? ACORN? Code Pink? Greenpeace? George Soros? IBT? ACLU?
So long as Porkulous doesn’t result in people overtly losing jobs (which it well could, given that the money that Barry is spraying around is therefore not available to meet private sector borrowing demands, which consequently means that they could be at risk of going under), anything else will be claimed as vindication of Barry’s insanely stupid decision to spend another $1 trillion on a vain exercise in public relations.
When will. People learn. That the. Government cannot. Create wealth/jobs.
If you find yourself repeating this (AGAIN) to statists/socialists/misnomered “liberals”, then try saying it in sentences of two words. Maybe – just maybe – it might have a slightly better chance of getting through to them.

People won’t. It’s always easier to look to someone else to solve your problems than to look to yourself.

When a southern girl says, “how nice, how very, very nice” she’s really saying
f*ck you. That’s what I would say to ol’ Barry, because then I would go have a beer and laugh my a$$ off knowing that he is thinking he just got a compliment. What a complete dumb pussy. And not in the dumb blond sense either. He good for nothing but ripping Time magazine into strips to hang outside the outhouse door. And we’ll all be using outhouses again and living in huts to placate the envirotards. Way to go, ‘Bambi!

It’s not that bad considering it’s government math. (Government is it’s own alternate reality.)
