Republicans Still Lost

Most of government is lost these days but the Republicans are especially silly these days. Michael Steele, the new resident Republican in the Moron Chair keeps saying that government has never created a single job. Uh, aren't all federal, state and local positions jobs? We're paying for them. If they're not jobs, why are we paying them? He should give back his past salaries if he never had a job in government all those years. He says spending project jobs like construction jobs eventually end. Don't all construction jobs end and then something else comes up? No construction job is permit.

Steele just said that Bush inherited a great recession from Clinton. I don't really recall it that way. Another Republican said that Bush inherited the effects of 9/11. There is some revisionist history. I thought that W was President at that time. Maybe he was just playing the role, not actually doing the job. I could go with that. He spent more than a third of his eight years on vacation so I guess he wasn't really President.

So the Republicans are still lost. They want high salaries for banks defrauding America but they don't want unemployment benefits for normal people. They want tax cuts for the rich and no new jobs for the average person. They just don't have a clue. People like Andy Card come out talking about a dress code in the oval office when there are photos of every president in the last 40 years not wearing a jacket the same way. Who cares?

Democrats are following the trail into the woods by adding stupid things to a bill. The first large President Obama bill should have been pure construction projects, energy, education and job creation. No crap at all. They could add more stuff later and do other less attention grabbing bills. This was a Pelosi disaster.
