Sept. 11 an inside job versus Americans who think stimulus worked

By Steve McGough / February 16, 2010 /

I’m not exactly certain how to write the headline for this post, but in a recent New York Times/CBS News poll, only 6 percent of Americans believed the $787 billion stimulus program created any jobs. So, in comparison, how many think Sept. 11 was an inside job or involves a government cover-up?

Time Magazine lefty on stimulus: Hey, Obama did this for you

By Jim Vicevich / January 26, 2010 /

OK. It’s Joe Klein. But it’s still a little window into the minds of the liberal elite. Andrea Mitchell kinda gives herself away with the question too. Joe Klein is just stunned that most of America thinks the stimulus is just a total waste of money, which of course it is.

Obama: I’ll be a one-term president if I can’t get this done in three years

By Steve McGough / February 1, 2012 /

Three years ago today, President Obama let America know we should be seeing progress within one year – with some lingering pain. But he does not get it “done in three years, then there’s going to be a one-term proposition.”

Stimulus money and broadband

By SoundOffSister / April 30, 2011 /

Remember the Stimulus Bill that just had to be passed quickly in 2009, or unemployment would rise above 8%? $7.2 billion of the total stimulus was allocated to subsidies to provide broadband services to rural areas without broadband.

Obama seems to have hired Carney as White House liar

By Steve McGough / February 17, 2011 /

Just two days into the gig, and Jay Carney – the new White House spokesman – gives us two shining examples of twisting the truth in a grand attempt to rewrite history … or just forget it all together I guess.

The stimulus pulls an o fer! Didn’t stop the recession and create jobs

By Jim Vicevich / September 22, 2010 /

I run this in light of the resignation of yet another Obama economic guru … Larry Summers. It’s a great analysis of how the stimulus didn’t solve anything other than fatten the pockets of Washington elites. But then if you are unemployed … you already knew that.

Economic stimulus…a far better idea

By SoundOffSister / July 8, 2010 /

Last week, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D. Ca.) told us, with a straight face, no less, that unemployment benefits create jobs.  Anyone who frequents this blog knows that her comments make absolutely no sense.  But, in a marvelous article in Thursday’s Wall Street Journal, Arthur Laffer explains not only why Ms. Pelosi’s statement is completely…

Stimulus to create 5000 jobs

By SoundOffSister / July 2, 2010 /

Great news!   The President is announcing today the “winners” of his “we need to expand broadband in America” program.  Remember, this plan was part of the Stimulus Package passed last year.  And, the winners are… You’ll have to go to this link to find out, but I will tell you that should you live in…

AFL/CIO Economist Ken Blackwell to Cavuto: You’re an a##hole

By Jim Vicevich / June 28, 2010 /

Not really sure what to say here. This interview got nasty in a hurry. Blackwell tried to make the case for even more government spending because the last trillion dollars generated jobs, just not enough. Cavuto tried to point out the nonsense of it all, insults started to fly and what happened next is pure…

Feds loan Mohegan Sun $54 million from stimulus funds

By Steve McGough / June 17, 2010 /

You’ve got to be kidding me. The US Department of Agriculture has a rural development program – what ever that is – with available funding from the most recent stimulus package totaling $168 million. The Mohegan tribe in Connecticut got almost one-third of the funds.
