In the infamous words of BHO's ex-pastor, "The roosters are coming home...to ROOST." When the walls come crashing down I'll survive because I'm a survivor. As long as I have food in my belly and a warm place to stay I'm good to go. But there will be plenty of folks raised on decades of all-about-me materialism out there who will froth at the mouth at having to wear clothing until they are thread barren, eat cheez & mac frequently, and move in with mom & dad again just to stay afloat.

It's not matter of if but a matter of when.

Whoops! Here I was giving credit to Herr Boehner for the dip and then this comes out.

Yeah... Boehner sucks as much at jobs creation as Princess Pelosi, the Anointed One, and Dingy Harry.

Oh that's right, I forgot. The Feds cannot really create jobs...but they can spend money.

So the Republicans should probably stop campaigning on the "job creation" front then right?

Correct. They should, however, do what we sent them to DC to do....STOP SPENDING MONEY.

Let's be fair....They've created plenty of FEDERAL govt jobs (some state ones, too).

Indeed, plenty of good paying patronage and public make-work jobs with outstanding benefits abound due to bloated, redundant and often unnecessary gubmint programs that leech off the private sector where wealth is actually created.

When the Feds STOP SPENDING OUR MONEY then it is also fair to say these leech jobs won't be so plentiful.
