Today's jobless report show's a decline in new unemployment, it however, doesn't include the number of people who have fallen of the unemployment rolls because they exhausted their benefits or are now working at jobs that pay less than half of what they were being paid (called under employed), nor does it include those that have just quite looking for work because there are no jobs for them find in their area. Those who have lost jobs and not been able to find new work at all are the most damaged by the continuing policies of the Obama White House. The Stimulus bill has done nothing but create Government jobs which they don't qualify for and never would. We watched the President fly 64 federal employee's on air force one all the way to Michigan to congratulate 5 new federal employee's on getting new jobs. What a horrific waste of tax payer dollars and for what? $560,000.00 spent on the trip to grandstand the creation of 5 new government jobs, and they were not even GS level jobs. The jobs created pay less than 30,000.00 a year to each of the new government employee's. This is INSANE!
Shovel ready jobs? The President said the stimulus bill would fund the states shovel ready jobs! Most of the states don't have any shovel ready jobs. So this won't fly. Most of the stimulus money has so many of the states spending even more money they are getting by excepting the federal money that your local taxes will have to go up. Yep you read it correctly, your local taxes have to go up to support the State Government's acceptance of the Federal funds from the Stimulus bill. Everything you need to survive will be going up in price. This is an un-represented Tax increase for all of us. No one in your state voted for it, all that has to happen is your Governor has to accept the stimulus money from the Federal Government, that's it.
The IRS has release the tax collection figures so far this year, guess what? No you don't say, the government has collected 27% less tax revenue so far this year from last year this time. How did that happen, DAH', bad policies from the Obama administration, improper conduct in the US Congress. An attack on the free market system will cripple the government's ability to raise funds badly needed just to run it. And your elected representative's know that they are spending money that doesn't exist! This means the President's budget will soar so far out of site in excess of 11.9 trillion in the ten year cycle the Obama administration wants. Looks real bad for the taxpayer so far.
