Jobs Plan? Please...get a life, Obama

No one needs to see the details, Obama¹s new jobs plan will never work.
The only way any jobs initiative from President Obama can ever work is if
he takes a 180 degree turn from every job creating idea he has ever had.
Nothing the President has done since the beginning of his tenure as the
most powerful person on the face of the earth has created a single,
lasting, real job. The problem is that the idea the government can extract
wealth from the economy that would otherwise be saved for later investment
or spent in today¹s current market on goods and services or building
businesses that actually hire people, and turn that money into positive
and continuous economic growth, completely ignores reality.
Government should protect us from evildoers who would rip us off and
engage in immoral and illegal activity, but to take money that does not
belong to them and purport to act benevolently as the creator of
prosperity is nothing but delusion. One wonders if this is purposefully
created delusion intended simply to control the masses or if government
officials actually believe in their self created fantasy. Taking money out
of my pocket on a regular basis to give to someone so they can go buy
groceries, does neither of us any good in the long run. For myself, I
receive no benefit for that money taken and the recipient ultimately
learns dependency. Extrapolate that out to a few million people and see
what you get. The only one that really benefits is the politicians
stealing the money from you and I end up getting votes from the people
they give the money to.
It is interesting to note that even before the President¹s speech he is
calling for Congress to to pass his jobs bill and do it quickly, for the
benefit of the country of course. In other words, Obama is saying, don¹t
really take a look at what I¹m doing or the actual details of this plan,
just pass it because I know what is best. We are also being told by the
President¹s press secretary Jay Carney that the things the President is
proposing will bring unemployment down to below 9%

lan_would_put_unemployment_below_9.html
>. Let¹s not forget that we were
also told that the President¹s $787 billion stimulus would not let
unemployment get beyond 8%
<http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=106397685>. If you
are counting, we are currently at 9.1%.
And we¹re supposed to believe that someone who has never hired a single
employee, but has organized plenty of mobs to protest evil, greedy
corporate America, is going to tell small businesses and big businesses
how they ought hire people. Oh, the President can tell businesses how they
should hire more people and put America back to work, but can he do a
simple ROI calculation on investment and revenue from real sales of real
products or services and see if there is actually a profit after all the
government intervention and red tape. I think not.
Apparently that math escapes the President as he likes to showcase
businesses

that receive government stimulus and hire 150 people at a cost of $2
million per job. Or he likes to push the green job thing on us and these
businesses fail to live up to their promised hype

government stimulus really is, instead of admitting that fact, we¹ll just
blame those rascal Germans

we cant quite fit Bush into this one.
The most productive thing our current President does these days is give
speeches and so we will be treated to yet another one come September 8th.
This will be somewhere between the 4th and 10th time Obama will state that
he has a plan to create jobs and this, finally, will be his main focus, at
least until another vacation or round of golf.
