The views presented on this site in no way reflects those of my employer, family, friends, acquaintances or distant cousins as these generally fall into three categories: the smart ones that agree with me, those that tolerate me because of my wit, charm, great intellect and modesty, and those who think that I'm a raving wingnut who's one Kennedy away from going medieval on the next vegan moonbat that barks.
I do not do links for the sake of reciprocity. I link only to those sites that I read and I only read RSS feeds. Feel free to send me a link to your site and I'll take a look. If I like it, and if you have a feed, I'll add you to my blogroll.

More reports are coming in about the number of jobs (and lack thereof) that were generated by spending billions in "stimulus" tax dollars. For instance, 4,695 jobs were created in Colorado as a result of $48 million in "stimulus" spending. That's over $10,000 of tax dollars spent to generate each job -- and these contracting jobs aren't exactly the highest paying positions.
In Michigan, the state with the highest unemployment in spite of billions more spent "stimulating" the car industry with "Cash for Clunkers" debacle, just 397 jobs have been created.
The low numbers could fuel more attacks by critics of the stimulus plan, who already cite the 9.8% unemployment rate, a 25-year-high, as proof that the plan isn't working.
