Stimulus Failure
Hmmmm.....Let's see...We've been losing roughly 500,000 jobs per month. The government spent well over a trillion dollars (after adding the interest)of our money to save 2.5 million jobs. Correct me if I'm wrong, but a trillion dollars that we don't have, spent to save 5 months worth of jobs sounds like a very bad investment. That is if he wasn't being wildly optimistic on his estimate of jobs saved. Also note that I work for a company that is a supplier for the concrete industry. With a 95% market share in the U.S., all of these "shovel ready" projects should have us running our tails off. Our busy season is ending months early and we are struggling to earn a paycheck. We just need the government to get out of the way!
