The Obama Dependency Economy

". . . the U.S. economy has now lost a total of 3.8 million jobs since President Barack Obama signed his $862 billion stimulus plan. We are 8.1 million jobs short of the 138.6 million he promised the American people.

It is good to see the American economy finally recovering again. It demonstrates the resilience of the American entrepreneur in the face a punishing job killing agenda from Washington. And don't fall for any White House claims that this belated recovery is due to the stimulus."

Read the entire article here. Find out what the government coulda, shoulda, woulda do if economic recovery instead of more control of our lives were the goal.

And by the way, I'm still waiting to see what the ARRA funds will be doing on the Upper Arlington street just west of us. I drove the distance of the orange barrels, and don't even see a problem, let alone a worker. Meanwhile, the landscape company reworking our condo entrance (which included a Saturday and a brief snow storm) is finished.

It's sidewalks, not the street.

Murray sez:
Gee Normal, they have only spent 300 billion of the 862 billion stimulus. Be patient. Let up and give Obama a break! I mean, if he could just locate the other 562 billion I'm sure his plan would work. (Hmmmm, I bet he finds it before the mid term elections)

Yes, I think we all know what he's saving it for. Then, instead of going to one of the wealthiest communities in Ohio, it will probably go to a heavy ACORNed neighborhood (or whatever it's been renamed) where they can put in sidewalks and curbs in "bombed out" neighborhoods where no one lives.
