Folks, this is deception if I’ve ever seen it.  The AP is reporting that, in Oregon, lawmakers have spent $176 million to create jobs.

They created 3,236 jobs.  Most of which lasted only 35 hours.  One work week…

From the AP:

“The White House requires states to report numbers in terms of full-time, yearlong jobs. That means a part-time mechanic counts as half a job. A full-time construction worker who has a three-month paving contract counts as one-fourth of a job.

Using that method, the AP’s analysis of figures in Oregon shows the program so far has created the equivalent of 215 full-time jobs that will last three months.”

More from the AP:

“If Oregon’s dollars-to-jobs ratio remains steady, the program will create about 688 full-time, yearlong jobs. So far, it’s generated only enough hours to employ 54 people full-time for a year.”

Is this what is happening nationwide?

Folks, Politico is reporting that the total amount of money that has been paid, will be paid, or guaranteed is…

wait for it…

$23,000,000,000,000.00

Click here to read Politico’s comparison to other expensive American endeavors…

Please read an older post…about some people wanting a second stimulus package…would the new one be $23 Trillion?

Folks, I think it is insane that, while California gives IOUs to its government workers–having to also pay interest on those…right around 3%, they can find the money to give Michael Jackson the wake they’re giving him….Who is paying for this?  The Taxpayers of the State of California.

So, when Rev. Al Sharpton shouts “Thank you, Michael!” over and over again, just remember who he should be thanking…

Those lovely people of the State of California who paid for this…

Because apparently it will cost millions…

Also, why is every news outlet covering it?  It’s not important…There are issues that are more pressing than this…Like stopping Cap and Trade, stopping the healthcare bill, tort reform, and government waste…

UPDATE:  The City of Los Angeles is starting a website to help foot the bill, which could now cost about $5 Million according to a City Council member.

The website accepts Paypal, Check, and Credit Card payments…

This is getting silly…

UPDATE:  But, folks, all this hullabaloo is distracting everyone from what is really going on.  New Czar today…check it out here.

UPDATE:  All this while CA still doesn’t have a budget, and the clowns in the legislature are fighting over fruit…

UPDATE:  Told you…CNN is reporting that the funeral cost the City of Los Angeles $1.4 Million.  Great work, when the city is $530 Million in the hole…

And…CNN is reporting that the website I mentioned has been experiencing problems, and only $17,000 have been donated…

“We have so much room for improvement.  Every aspect of our lives must be subjected to an inventory…of how we are taking responsibility.”

Folks, what does that mean?

She’s over in Shanghi or something, preaching to students about how we should become green…

Is that really what the Speaker of the House should be doing?  Especially now, when Barack Obama wants to jam through some climate bills?  And some approval committees?

But, ladies and gentlemen, I feel that this is just a distraction from what is really going on…We should focus on the important issues, like what is really inside the climate bill…

UPDATE:  Soon after she said that, Kermit the Frog could be heard griping his belief on the matter…

If you lose your job because of the new climate change bill…they will pay you for…three years…

And, according to Glenn Beck, that could cost the taxpayer…$33 Billion.

Here is the reasoning.

2.2 jobs are lost for every green job created.

Barry O. wants to create 5 million green jobs.

That’s 11 million lost jobs…That’s a devastating number of lost jobs.

$3,000 for each person whose job has been destroyed…

$33 Billion.

Why do the congress and Barack Obama want to jam through all these bills and approval hearings?  Probably because they don’t want people to read the bills, or ask the tough questions…

With gold at about $1,000 an ounce,

and NBC allegedly paying Nadya Suleman $300,000,

and $300,000 divided by 8 children equaling $37,500,

and sixteen ounces in a pound,

and one of the octuplets weight just about one pound,

the smallest child of the litter is worth about twice its weight in gold…

“This will save consumers money, this will spur innovation, and this will conserve tremendous amounts of energy,” Barry said.

Not only will it save us money, but it will control our thermostat! I wish Barry would figure this whole thing out in stead of signing lots of pieces of paper ordering us around.
