Me either.  All I know is something don't quite jibe.  If they were operating at enough of a profit to buy out Chrysler, which they had announced the plans for prior to this bailout money being announced, how are they so broke now.

Reality is this: this bill is full of things that won't to anything to create a job. Sure, building a high speed rail line will create a job, eventually. But out of a trillion $, shouldn't we expect more?

Do the math: 3.5 million jobs for $1 trillion spent = $285,714 per job! Ok, use the $800 billion number instead. That comes to $228k per job!

Are 3.5 million people really going to be hired for $228k each? If so, sign me up!

Why don't you check these facts:

How does giving $200 million to WW2 veterans in the Phillipines help us?

How does spending billions on medicare payments create jobs?

How does taxing corporations to pay for more unempolyment benefits encourage them to hire?

Will you explain the $250 million in tax cuts given specifically to Hollywood movie producers?

How does $400 million for the CDC to screen and prevent STD's create jobs?

How about another $850 million for Amtrak? Since 1970, Amtrak has received over $30 billion in bailout funds, and shown nothing for it.

Why $88 million for a polar ice breaker. Afterall, according to Gore and his Global Warming Parrots, won't there soon be no ice up there to break?

Hell, I'm guessing you'd jump at eight bucks an hour!

The way things seem to be going even those jobs won't be available much longer.  Unfortunately it's looking more and more like I'm going to be the one saying I told you so and I really hate that 'cause like I said, that ain't a good thing and I'd really rather not have to say it.

Make that 8 broken promises....

President Obama is reinstating the same deeply-flawed military commissions that in June 2008 he called an 'enormous failure.' In one swift move, Obama both backtracks on a major campaign promise to change the way the United States fights terrorism and undermines the nation's core respect for the rule of law by sacrificing due process for political expediency....

Obama ducks promise to delay bill signings.....

It seemed among the easiest of his transparency pledges and is entirely under his control, but President Obama is finagling his promise to post bills on the White House Web site for comment for five days before he signs them.

Mr. Obama last week signed four bills, each just a day or two after Congress passed and sent it over to him.

Yeah, you're right; with your massive intellect and wealth of education you are certainly in a better position to understand what is going on than am I.   :rolleyes:
