We've heard a lot about what our Glorious Leader and his minions have termed "Recovery Summer". Here it is October 13 and the recovery is stalled. We have experienced fourteen consecutive months of falling employment (stuck at 9.6%) and horrible economic news, and, if you listen to the media, all caused by George W. Bush. Who has been in charge of the economy the last fourteen months, for that matter, the last twenty-two? Mr. Bush has been amazingly absent over this time, though not other former presidents who are not his father.
Uncle Joe (Biden, the Vice-President) says that his administration's policies have "created or saved" over 3.3 million jobs since implementation of the stimulus - Porkulus I call it. Let's see, given that Porkulus costs us $850,000,000,000, my ancient math skills have determined that these jobs cost us U.S. taxpayers $257,575.75 per job. What a bargain! Because of this, the administration is having what they call a "communication challenge" to convince us that this was good for us. Uncle Joe actually said "it's just too hard to explain" and Daddy Barry said "lightening-fast news cycles confuse us". That MUST be it. We're just too dumb to understand all this math stuff. Maybe they could take a lesson or two from the late Great Communicator. But that would be sleeping with the enemy. November 2nd is coming!
