First Obama should cancel all guest worker visas like H1-b and L1. He should also cancel the EB1, EB2 and EB3 visas. These visas are used to discriminate against the American workforce.

It’s time to have some faith in our President. He’s working tirelessly on his next speech on the subject which will fix all our problems. Rumors are that he also has a speech planned which will cure cancer.

Let’s see that’s a cost of over $1.2 million per job according to their figures (where they vastly underestimated the money spent and wildly exaggerated the jobs “created” or saved). Well that’s money well spent (gag). And how do they factor in all the other jobs being lost, which are in the tens of millions?

And that’s the GOOD news?!?!?!?

Boy wonder is way off on his numbers! Sasha and Malia should help him with his calculations! He must not know how to count. There is no way his stimulus package saved or created any jobs. Private industry creates jobs. If anything, he is a major speedbump for job creation!

So let me ask this question – the money the government spent to create jobs, how many fewer jobs will be created in the private sector because there is less available capital because of government borrowing, and how many fewer jobs will be created later on in the private sector because businesses, who carry a large part of the tax burden, are paying higher taxes.

Apparently, in the socialist world of Obama, only government can create jobs, generate wealth, or solve problems. Businesses and individuals apparently don’t count.

Stupid questions, I know. Only a racist would ask things like that.

Did anyone happen to notice the AP investigation into the original 30K jobs? AP claims that most of those were incorrect – the same job being counted 4 times (contract positions to build 4 different call centers, claims a new job for the same contract employee on each center), many jobs only 2 weeks to 2 month contracts, some places just used the money to give raises and no new jobs created but counted all existing employees (day care center in Florida). AP said that some companies claimed as many as 10x more jobs than were actually created/saved.

Did I mention that this is AP (Liberal beacon of truth) – NOT Fox News?

I believe the stimulus saved a bunch of banking jobs and insurance company jobs and hedge fund jobs at the expense of every single citizen of this nation
