Damn The Deficit, Full Speed Ahead

Debate on Creating Jobs, Without Raising Deficit

What is the big deal about creating more jobs?

The government has already told us that the massive stimulus bill that was passed earlier in the year saved our economy. The government has already told us that it is possible for the economy to recover while continuing to loose more and more jobs. The government has already extended unemployment benefits multiple times.

I wonder if it is because that while the politicians are busy using stimulus money to pay back campaign contributions, and the rest of the time the politicians are increasing their office staff, and voting themselves salary increases for a job well done?

The politicians have already shown they don't care about the deficit. Between the stimulus bill, and health care, starting an unwinable war in Afghanistan, and ... I am sure the politicians can bankrupt this country without once thinking about what they are doing.

In any case, I am sure the politicians can ram through a 2000+ page job reform bill. A bill that nobody can understand, much less implement. A bill that will not take effect for years. A bill that will have NO oversight provisions. A bill that will have NO way to honestly measure the effects of the bill.
