    really, hypocrite? where are the jobs?

    why don't you ask the companies who ship them off overseas.

    why do you expect the governemnt to hold your 'conservative' hand?

    you're right. it's not amusing, but it would be if you lot weren't busy whining about the government doing something you ostensibly don't believe the government should be doing.

    go start a business pc, and then hire people. that's how it works. once things go bad in the business, because 'conservative' policies have created boom and bust cycles, then make sure that your employees come first. when things go well in the business, make sure your employees are well taken care of, instead of treating them like commodities.

    buy a bank, pc, and get it to loan out the money that should be "trickling" down (a stupid conservative fallacy)

    be an entrepreneur, pc, and build infrastructure here in the states that will bring back jobs.

    and you call yourself a conservative. ha!

      the sole purpose of the stimulus was to keep the unemployment at 7.5 to 8%

      your response is laughable........

      http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/11/us/politics/11ra...

      WASHINGTON — One day after the nation’s unemployment rate was reported to be at a 16-year high, President-elect Barack Obama on Saturday again raised the estimate of how many jobs would result from his economic recovery plan, saying it would create or save three million to four million, nearly 90 percent of them in the private sector.

      Hey Obama's own word.......the stimulus will save or create jobs otherwise what is the point of the stimulus..............

        Yes and remember that the last time that unemployment was this high was in the third year of the conservative hero's presidency. Good old Ronald Reagan.

          I think it is a simple question:

          "why is it government's role to find jobs for people?"

          You could simply answer it and then move on to the individual issues of the stimulus.

          Another question worth asking is whether it is the government's job to bail out companies?

          Have you voted for individuals that have run for president that have signed or voted for such legislation?

          the stimulus was a bunch of pork dealt out to every special interest group.
          It was every old dusty bill and special interest project taken off of the dusty shelves of every retread, regurgitated Dem who found his way into the Obama administration

          http://www.barackobama.com/issues/economy/

          Get the economy back on track:

          President Obama signed legislation to jumpstart our economy, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, less than a month after his inauguration. The plan will save or create 3.5 million new jobs, make critical investments in our infrastructure and give 95 percent of working Americans a tax cut.

          Fight the housing and financial crises:

          A new housing program has stabilized the market, preventing more foreclosures and helping millions more re-finance at historically low mortgage rates. The Administration is also moving forward with its plans to get credit flowing again to businesses and families, and to reform our regulatory system so we have a set of 21st century rules to match 21st century financial markets.

          he was too bust sending e mails asking for more money from the left after the House passed the bill........

          now that the stimulus is a failure OHHHHH NOOO THATS NOT WHAT OBAMA SAID..........

            What you are not stating is how the economy got off track. The cause and prevention is many times more important than attempting to find or procure a cure.

            Barack Obama, a low growth, pro union, anti free trade, anti competition philosophy. Smart starting a trade war with the Chinese over tires.

              you never responded, pc. it's obviously more important to you to be involved in bashing obama than it is to be consistent with your own purported ideology.

              you're a republican. you're no conservative.

              so, why do you think the government should find anyone a job?

                It wouldn't matter if the Government found everyone jobs. They would be saying then that that is not the governments job.

                  And is it not the Republican/conservative mantra that tax cuts for the rich will increase investments that in turn create jobs? What happened to that idea? Where are the jobs from Bush's tax cuts.

                    Dumya was too busy saying "outsourcing was good" and did nothing to save American jobs!

                    The government could remove some of the restrictions they have placed on companies here, to help it be more profitable to do business here instead of sending it overseas. Then the jobs would come back.
