"Stimulating Government"
Rep. McClintock's remarks on the stimulus:
November 19, 2009 11:10 AM House Chamber Remarks, Washington D.C. M. Speaker: The unfolding scandal of phony or inflated job claims from the so-called stimulus bill should shock the conscience of the nation and permanently stain the reputation of the 111th Congress and this president.
But it gets even worse if we take them at their word.
As of this morning, the administration claims that in my 4th Congressional District of California, the brain trust at the Treasury Department has spent $182 million to save or create all of 168 jobs. That’s $1.1 million per job!
They claim to have saved or created 110,000 jobs in California. 75,000 of those jobs occur in a single zip code, 95814.
What is 95814? That’s the zip code that encompasses the state capitol and the state bureaucracies. Stimulating the economy? All we’re doing is stimulating government at the expense of the economy.

Yes and isn't this transparent enough for us to understand. All we have done is secure and maintain government jobs with the stimulus programs. We have maintained government status quo while the governments are hoping for a rebound to occur. Sadly there will be no rebound this time and there will exist only higher taxes coming our way for all of us to pay. Yes... its sad that the illusions perpetrated on us by those in charge are so real...yet no one notices or appears to care about the truth anymore. We are all becoming old and worn out from the constant battles we must wage in attempting to survive in this over controlled over regulated culture and society filled with varied scams surrounding us all.
