I do not believe that anyone thought that the stimulus would be an immediate fix. Considering, it's a mere 4 months since its passage, perhaps, some fairness should be executed. Furthermore, studies show it take an average unemployed person AT LEAST four months to secure employment. The stimulus, while I will not defend the entire bill, was designed for long-term attributes. This video is just pure political theatre on a very serious issue. Rather than making corny videos, perhaps, John Boehner should offer solutions rather than criticism. Politics as usual.
Chairman Obama promised that his stimulus would create jobs immediately. Shovel-ready blah blah blah. If he had the intelligence credited to him, he would know that more immediate efforts like, God forbid, cuts in corporate and personal taxes, have a more immediate stimulative effect. People are hurting NOW. Jobs that will come in 2012 won't help.
For Mr. Obama it's not about us. It's about increasing political power. It's about using the "crisis" to put into place policies that cannot be easily reversed or overturned.
Mr. Boehner and others offered ideas but the Chairman Queen Pelosi said it was just "the same failed policies of the past 8 years."
THAT kind of lame rhetoric is not appropriate for someone who promises to "change the way Washington works."
The Chairman spends more time going on and on about George W. Bush, lying and distorting the truth and history, just to cram through his policies. Even people like Warren Buffett, whom Mr. Obama said he would listen to, are opposed to Cap and Trade, Employee NO CHOICE, etc.
In the end, the notion that you can build an economy from the bottom up doesn't work. As tough as it might sound, poor people don't create jobs. You cannot take from those who produce and "give" to others. Allowing people to keep the money they earn isn't "giving."
Companies and entrepreneurs are terrified of what's coming next. Why reinvest in your company when you don't know how much of your wealth will be seized? So many people are just holding on for another 2 years in hopes that Congress will change hands.
Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of faith that it will because the public is more concerned with and aware of Michael Jackson than what's going on with their government.
