White House Presses Congress to Pass 'Bipartisan' Jobs Plan, GOP Has Doubts

First let me say that sometime over night the "Jobs For America" proposal went from $300 Billions to $400 Billions. Now how the hell did that happen? A White House Typo?

Second, where is this money coming from? Another unauthorized Debt Ceiling Rise?

This bill touts "tax cuts". But it you look a little deeper, those "tax cuts" are only continuations of the Bush cuts make 5 years ago. All that means is this is not a tax increase, not a tax cut. As for the rest, this is the same old stimulus story that hasn't worked in the past and won't work this time either.

Since I'm bitching I might as well drag in Jay Carney, the President's foghorn, too. Where did they find this guy? He looks and acts like he's 14 years old.

As long as we are on the subject of jobs, did anyone notice that the weekly new unemployment claims jumped 14,000 last week? Or had the White House and Labor Department buried that well enough as not to be noticed?

And finally we come to Eric Holder, Attorney General of the United States.

Headline:

Holder: Higher-Ups Had No Knowledge of ATF Sting

Oh yeah, we really believe that, Eric. A couple thousand guns were given to known criminals while the Justice Dept and the ATF watched. Then the guns, as expected, crossed the border into Mexico. Funny that only white people in the ATF knew about this and either got transferred or fired to be replaced by blacks. The Justice Department had no knowledge at all even though the ATF were sending daily reports to JOD. And this entire mess could not have been pulled off without the highest authority in both the White House and Justice Department giving approval.

My only question here is, since this involved an international border, why wasn't State involved?
