Saying one thing and doing another
Do Dems really want that debate?
Yoni, if his argument is that stimulus doesn't create jobs, then why is he saying that stimulus creates jobs in his letter? Is he a liar?
Yoni, if government spending doesn't create private sector jobs, then why are your beloved MIC corporations whining that sequestration of military $Bs will cause Ms of lost jobs?
:lol
Can we agree that government stimulus creates jobs but at a ridiculous cost per job?Quote:

Stimulus jobs cost taxpayers $278,000 each, GOP committee says in claim against Dem Wis. Rep. Ron Kind
House Speaker John Boehner
PolitiFact Ohio weighed in after Boehner, an Ohio Republican, tweeted about the blog post. Our colleagues rated Boehner’s echoing of the $278,000 cost as False, pointing out that it lumps all of the various types of stimulus spending together.
Stimulus spending, as the Associated Press noted in a fact check of a similar GOP claim, pays not only for the worker but for material, supplies and that worker's output -- a portion of a road paved, for example.
Texas Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst
Dewhurst, a Republican, also tweeted about the blog posting. PolitiFact Texas found that of the $666 billion stimulus spending to date, 43 percent was spent on tax cuts for individuals and businesses; 19 percent went to state governments, primarily for education and Medicaid; 13 percent paid for government benefits to individuals such as unemployment and food stamps; and the remaining roughly 24 percent was spent on projects such as infrastructure improvement.
That underscores how stimulus money was spent on many things in addition to creating jobs. Our Texas colleagues rated Dewhurst’s claim False.
That’s two False ratings on the same claim.
We asked the NRCC if it had any evidence beyond the blog post cited by Boehner and Dewhurst to back up its version of the statement -- that "Kind’s stimulus cost taxpayers $278,000 per job." Spokeswoman Andrea Bozek cited various reports critical of the stimulus, but nothing to establish that the $278,000 figure is correct.
To review:
The National Republican Congressional Committee, like Boehner and Dewhurst, claimed that the federal stimulus cost $278,000 per job. The NRCC called it "Kind’s stimulus" because U.S. Rep. Ron Kind, D-Wis., voted for it. Our PolitiFact colleagues have twice ruled the claim False and the NRCC offered us no new evidence to consider. We rate its claim False, as well.

Video proof that Paul Ryan was once a champion of government stimulus, when a president of his party wanted to do it. He makes almost the exact same arguments President Obama made. :lmao
Silly boy. I pray for your family, brother. God blessQuote:
