Double Take

"President Obama says his new jobs bill will create over 1.9 million jobs -- and up to 50 of them will be right here in America." --comedian Jay Leno

"Politicians say they create jobs, but they really don't. Or rather, they rarely create productive jobs. Government has no money of its own. All it does is take resources from one group and give them to another. The pharaohs might have claimed they created work when they ordered that pyramids be built, but think how much richer (and freer) the Egyptians would have been if they'd been allowed to pursue their own interests." -John Stossel

"If I Don't Have This Done In Three Years, Then There's Going To Be A One-Term Proposition." -Pres. Barack Obama


So, recently I have become aware of President Obama pushing for a new bill or plan to create more jobs. . . now I'm no political expert but didn't we just spend a few billion dollars not to long ago that was going to stem the tide of unemployment and create thousands of jobs? Who was pushing that? How much did it cost? It didn't work, apparently, and now he wants We the People to support him in spending more of our money to create the jobs he couldn't create (which, as the Executive branch of the government he can't technically do anyway) with billions of dollars?
