Porkbuster Tom Coburn: Reports show conflicting number of jobs attributed to stimulus money

In June, the federal government spent $1,047 in stimulus money to buy a rider mower from the Toro Company to cut the grass at the Fayetteville National Cemetery in Arkansas. Now, a report on the government's stimulus Web site improbably claims that that single lawn mower sale helped save or create 50 jobs.

Total speculation from the bitter sore losers who set the house on fire and didn't want anyone to put it out.

So you slugs had the wheel for 30 years. Totally for much of the last decade. You got your tax cuts, your free market reforms, your deregulation, your end to welfare. By now we were supposed to be swimming in cash and prosperity!

What happened, slugs? Did you need another 30 years for your magic to create that no-tax conservative Utopia?

Here's hoping that the resulting economic collapse destroyed your retirement plans, your home values and your childrens' futures! I know it did for many of you!

AND I LAUGH!

To protect his fragile mental condition, The Young President has retired to his "happy place" for the present.

10.2% unemployment isnt total speculation its a fact and it was promised spending obscene amounts of borrowed money would keep unemployment under 8%.

Things were fine until the Democrats took back Congress after the 2006 elections - coincidence everything fell apart as Obama was ascending to power? Thats speculation, but its one heck of coincidence.

Obama and his minions are making things worse by the day.

There hasnt been a truly FREE MARKET in this country since before the Depression. Its been lurching toward socialism for decades - social security, medicare, medicate, welfare, ect.

Well Obama and his pinkos are in charge, why arent things getting better? So much for the Messiahs powers.

Even worse, Congress and the administration are trying to reinflate the housing bubble with $6,500 - $8,000 handouts. That will end up like Cash for Clunkers, which was a hugely expensive scam to put money into the coffers of the UAW.

The real problem is Washington politicians, on both sides - though these days the Democrats are leading the race towards financial destruction. I though $200-$400 billion deficits were bad under Bush and the Republicans, but Obama and the Democrats have thrown in the towel by more than quadrupling those numbers. Unfortunately getting rid of them wont be easy. When Congress comes up with 2,000 page bills that nobody understands, its time to clean house. Unfortunately this may be a result of the government physically collapsing under the weight of its own beauracracy and crushing debt.

The only question is, when everything collapses what will America look like afterwards? Will it survive intact?

"So you slugs had the wheel for 30 years. Totally for much of the last decade. You got your tax cuts, your free market reforms, your deregulation, your end to welfare. By now we were supposed to be swimming in cash and prosperity!"

We did, look at the growth chart from 1980 - 2006, Bawney Fwank & Co. promoting things like the community reinvestment act for losers were not free market principles.

What dinko doesn't seem to grasp is how the government works. Congress submits bills,budgets,etc to be sent to the President to either sign or veto. Republicans had control of Congress from 1994-2006. That's 12 years dinko not 30. It's a well known fact (for some) that democramps had control of Congress for 30+ years and they helped this country move toward socialism. I will give dinko the benefit here and also call out the rinos that helped the process. See dinko your little buddies have a solid majority in both the house and senate and even the presidency but they still can't get shit done. Do you want to know why? Because they know it's political suicide to hang all the expensive bills around their own necks. Your welcome for the civics lesson dinko.

Libs and "progressives" like DINO are past-tense. They don't even rate a nod or a wink. They are beyond irrelevant. Let them post and bellow and point their vegan fingers all they want. Take no more notice of them than a housefly.

Obama and the libs have screwed the pooch so bad, there will be a bloodbath in 2010. Obama's happy-face "shout outs" during his speech AFTER THE FORT HOOD SHOOTING, his purposeful tanking of the economy, his surrounding himself with communists and radical revolutionaries, his thumbing his nose at liberty and the Constitution (a "flawed document")...he as woken the sleeping giant, and there isn't a damn thing the libs can do to put it back to sleep.

You had your high water-mark in Nov 08. Hope you enjoyed it.

2010, baby.

DINK at November 6, 2009 1:00 PM

You sound like the bitter slug...and I laugh at you ha ha ha ha ha!

Total speculation from the bitter sore losers who set the house on fire and didn't want anyone to put it out.

Our side has a huge body of evidence and research to back up our claims that freedom releases man's full economic potential.

Your side claims that a $1047 lawn mower created or saved 50 jobs.

I know who I trust on the economy, and it certainly isn't a group of partisan hack economists whose bogus data makes Timothy Leary look like a shining beacon of reason and reality.

DINO @ 1:00pm.....

"Here's hoping the economic collapse destroyed your retirement plans, your home values, and your children's futures........"

Nothing I've read on blogs or on the internet in the last several years, so epitomizes the sick immoral view of the 'hard left'. Dino, you are on an equivalent with the Ft. Hood shooter--you were undoubtedly born or raised here in America and have probably been given every wonderful opportunity to succeed and flourish due to our freedoms and liberty, yet you call for the destruction of your neighbor's plans, his home, and his kids.

Thanks for the honest blog. It keeps all real Americans on their toes and helps us to fully realize the nature of the perversity we face.

See you in 2010.

Posted by: DINO at November 6, 2009 1:00 PM

Laugh all you want what you seem to not understand, because you are such a hateful idiot, is that what ever happens to us will happen to you.

You are that stupid and not even worthy of your own people.

10.2% joblessness will be the nail in the liberal coffin in 2010. Pissed of jobless people vot to ya know.

DINO I LAUGH AT YOU!

Dinooooo,,, we havent missed you.
Bitter little toad, that you revel in the loss of retirement and homes of "us" happens across the board. Consider,microbe, the lefties are less prone to plan and save for future goals. Grass hopper and Ant?? Got a bell ringin there, sparkey? I'm glad your having a good time. Bear in mind (?) its not at our expense and when YOU hold out your hand, I'll cough one up.

All the Republicans predicted high unemployment. Heck even my wife knew that unemployment woudl rise and thes not political.
Barack knew the unemployment rate would skyrocket...thats the plan. Then we all get on government aid and he can colapse the private industry that is capitalsim.

HOPE & CHANGE for next year hope we get lots of conservatives voted in and changes things worse for OBAMA

Obama set the tone. Nancy PolPot Lucy will seal the deal this weekend or early next week by forcing a vote on Socialized Medicine.

Next year will be a voting bloodbath for the Democratics who are both progressive and moderate. Having a (D) next to your name will be bad news.

Expect lots of moderate Democrats to move to an Indi ticket stance soon.

Please be nice to DINO. He's finally realized that his Democrat handlers lied to him. They told him all he had to do was learn the "mmm mmm mmm" song and vote for O and his mortgage would be paid (except DINO didn't qualify for a home loan) and that his gas tank would be filled (but DINO didn't have a car) and that he'd be one of the 95% that would get a tax decrease (except DINO didn't have a job because all DINO knew was the "mmm mmm mmm" song and employers weren't intrested in that skill). Now DINO is bitter because people that bought homes within their means still have them. They were also smart enough to diversify their portfolio's when O won the election and their investments in gold have gone from $842/oz to $1085/oz. See DINO was lied to by his democrat handlers and he's bitter. He realizes that he not going to get single payer health care, gay "rights" have been tossed to the curb. Guantanamo is still open and the wars rage on with no end in sight. DINO is bitter that he has been betrayed by "THE ONE".

Dino, I would like to hear your ideas on how your side would improve the economy.

10+% inflation and rising, Governor's races in Virginia and New Jersey, TEA parties, etc..... Not looking too good for Maobama.

I'm starting to think that "failed market policy" is actually synonymous with "I failed to capitalize on opportunity and now I am jealous."

In hindsight, giving a "shout out" to your "homey" in the audience before addressing a major incident maybe wasn't such a good idea huh maobama? As a result, you WILL lose a large portion of the military's vote and have fallen into a full-blown tailspin in the negative y-direction in terms of respect from me. Keep it up and you are going to be the first person in history to actually asymptotically reach absolute zero respect. That would actually be worthy of an award.

Dino, I would like to hear your ideas on how your side would improve the economy.

So would I. Too bad they don't have any. And _we're_ the party of no?

B.......B.........B.............BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH was reading a story on the day of 911!

What about BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!?

That would be the dipshit lefty's response.

BUT BUSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dino does a pretty good job at parroting what his progressive collective instructs him to. He should be applauded.

DINO wrote: By now we were supposed to be swimming in cash and prosperity!

Did it ever occur to you, that the reason that you're not swimming in cash and prosperity, is because your simply a failure?

Latest numbers:

unemployment factored with people that have "given up on finding a job" and are "only working part time".... hold your breathe..... 17.8% GOOD JOB "I WON". Pump another trillion into your failed economic policies...

GOLD and AMMUNITION... the next currencies!

Poor Bush. God Bless His soul. He was told about the incidents that took place on 9/11 while reading a storybook in front of a class of children. I know because like all events of that day, I remember them like the back of my hand! What was he supposed to do? Jump up and scream like the dickens? Chairman barack hussein obama, on the other hand, was not in a class in front of children. In fact, he thought he was in a Native American rap video. "Let me give a shout out..." What kind of explicative piece of explicative is he?

Hey, dinko the pinko!

Dino says:
"Here's hoping that the resulting economic collapse destroyed your retirement plans, your home values and your childrens' futures! I know it did for many of you!

AND I LAUGH!"
________________________________________

So sorry to have to disappoint you Dino.

We got out of the stock market in early 2008, because I saw this coming.

Yes, our home has lost value. That doesn't make a bit of difference to us....we paid that off early. (Again, saw this coming.)

I don't have any kids. I don't buy anything unless I have earned the money to pay cash for it, so I have no debt. And I've lived that way for years.

Now I've transferred a portion of the money in my accounts into metals, since I think that there's a very real possibility that the spend-happy activities of the current administration will completely collapse the dollar.

So, I'm set up to ride this out. Are you?

Here's the difference between how a liberal thinks, and how a fiscal conservative thinks:

Your statements:

"By now we were supposed to be swimming in cash and prosperity!" "Did you need another 30 years for your magic to create that no-tax conservative Utopia?"

My statement:

"There is no such thing as Utopia, nor do I believe in zero taxes. The country needs to assess taxes to provide for the common defense of it's citizens, to create roads, and to provide a basic education to it's children. Anything in excess of that should be spent ONLY if the money is available. (And guess what - it ain't available.)

My country isn't responsible for making me rich.....I'm responsible for making me rich, through hard work and savings. I made sure that I set aside a portion of my earnings, to pay for insurance, housing, vehicles and anything else I really wanted. It meant that I had to wait until I got some of the goodies that life has to offer, but it also meant I appreciated them more and had a real sense of satisfaction at having earned them."

This administration is going to create incredibly huge deficits for no good reason, when there is a workable system already in place, and that's a very dangerous thing that I don't think you understand. Something tells me you wouldn't last too long in a third-world environment.

Everyone already has emergency health care coverage - what exactly do you think you're going to gain with this horror of a health care bill?
Free insurance? You do realize you're going to have to pay for it, don't you? Either in taxes if you ever get a job, or in reduced accessibility to medical help and treatment. And you're going to pay through the nose for the Cap and Trade legislation if it passes. The cost of gas and electricity is going to skyrocket.

If it's really worth all that to you, just to be able to stick it to conservatives, knock yourself out. No skin off my nose, your words certainly don't matter to me, and I'm as ready as I can be for whatever comes.

The only time I'll be laughing is if your beloved idiot-in-chief manages to pass his legislation. I'll be thinking of ya then, but it's gonna be too late for you.

Posted by: Jules (Slug Supreme) at November 6, 2009 6:20 PM

Well done.

Dino won't understand, he's an idiot.

Jules-
If I were in charge, you'd get a medal for that.

Jules-Dave in 2012

Anyone notice that most of our usual gaggle of slack-jawed leftist trolls have been remarkably silent of late? There have been a few, of course, but most have been pretty quiet.

I think they've realized that they can't defend this administration any more, and have given up. The few that do show up are more interested in venting their hatred of us than defending their Teleprompter Messiah.

Dino, you should learn the value of unexpressed thoughts, especially when the thoughts are so incredibly . . . wrong.

You say "here's hoping that the resulting economic collapse destroyed your retirement plans, your home values and your childrens' futures!"

But, in reality, those of us that you truly hate - those of us with money and a future - will make it through Obama's time of despair just fine. Oh, sure, portfolios will drop, but, as we do seem to be living through a world recession, relativity will moot it out - we'll be competing in the market against others who will be diminished proportionately, meaning it will all even out.

No, Dino, the people who will truly pay a staggering, life-wrenching price for our little experiment with well-spoken Mob rule will be the people who could least afford it. It's the poor who are going to take the biggest hit from this, Dino. Those same poor who have been progressing steadily for quite a few years are going to find themselves swatted back to the near-hunger stage quickly, and many of them are going to revisit actual hunger and its resulting effects on life.

And that's thanks to people like you, Dino. You've now begun the chain that will cause (probably) millions of deaths of the poor - their elderly, and ill, and very young, will be the first groups to start the trend - and you now tell us you did it, not to help anyone, but to get back at those of us with money?

Damn, no wonder you're poor. You're stupid.

Don't take Dino too seriously. He's a serial comment troll. It's literally ALL he does. And all he's capable of doing.

All Part of that liberal dream

I should have known better than to argue with people that know more than I do about economics.

Don't be too hard on me. I'm unemployed, I haven't had sex with a girl in years, I'm living at home, and I'm bitter that Obama hasn't waved his magic wand and made everything all better.

Since Obama hasn't given me a job yet, I've got plenty of time to stop by this blog each day and argue with people. Like the other liberals here, I seem to have no sense of irony as I gleefully predict the destruction of their financial houses.

Screaming at conservatives (who haven't held any real power in this country in some time) and mocking their ideas is the only joy I have left. Don't take THAT away from me, too.

Sorry to be such a pathetic loser, but I can't help it. It's who I am. Can anyone recommend a good therapist, hopefully one who can prescribe me some Prozac?

There's no need to highjack a Liberal's name, they can make fools of themselves just fine.

Yeah, you got out of the market just at the right time. LOL. And I get my investment advice from Bigfoot and Amelia Earhart.

I know so many of you slugs that lost a fortune. Go look at the highest foreclosure rate areas. They're in the conservative places.

Face it. You idiots have been HAD. All that support for republicans and all you get is decimated retirement savings, dropping home values and big pile of DEBT to hand to your stupid kids.

I am so totally vindicated by this whole situation! I knew conservatism would result in disaster and it has.

I'll enjoy watching your kids and grandkids struggle.

Stupid? You call us stupid? Read your post, Dino. The stupidity abounds from you and your posts. You would like to see this society fail just so you guys can impose your bullshit socialist agenda through? You are not deserving of the freedoms that are afforded to you by the constitution. What makes you even more stupid and asinine is that the failures that you would like to see would surly affect you yet you don't care or are to fucking stupid to realize this.

You like to call out the republicans a lot. You are to stupid to realize that many of us here have put the republican party on notice. I for one am not a republican, I am a conservative independent. There are more of us than you realize, stupid idiot Dino. Come 2010 we are going to give you guys the BOOT you so well deserve. Keep posting what you want so remeber the content you post are a direct reflection on the party you follow so glassy eyed.

In short, Dino, you are a mindless drone that has a dysfunctional life which has to have government intervention in order to live. You probably got this loser attitude from you mother and father. At first glance you act like a child raised by some liberal losers that suck of the governments teats. If we come up against folks like you in 2010 then it's going to be a cake walk. You guys are shameless and stupid which in turn makes it easier for us to see right through your dumb asses.

Stupid? Just look in the mirror and listen to yourself.

MAN CHILD.

Ahhhhh good, Dino, you came back.

You just keep telling yourself whatever you have to, to make it possible for you to get through the day.

It won't change the facts, and although the truth might be kind of a difficult concept for you to grasp, it's all I deal in. I'm going to be just fine.

You however, are going to be just as miserable 40 years from now as you are right now, probably more so, and if I had any empathy left in me these days, I would feel really deep pity for you.

But, I'm afraid that's been burned right out of me lately, and that's not a good thing for your progressive agenda, is it? You count on that pity for the poor downtrodden masses to raid the pockets of decent people with real empathy, all to grow political power. And it's working, so keep on crowing dude! Your gal Pelosi just passed her bill, and you're a step closer to your little Utopian nirvana. (And I'm a step closer to being able to laugh my head off.)

Once your government has what it wants, (power), it will discard it's little tools. Like you.

Later.

Guys like dino are imbeciles. We have more important work to do then bother ourselves with such lameness. Saving our country from the left's agenda and thwarting marxism is paramount. Groups like oathkeepers.org are a good place to start. The extreme left will stop at nothing, they know this is their last best chance to "fundamentally" change our great country. they will only succeed if we let them.

Liberals have always annoyed me.
But I have lived with them.

Now that they have taken control, with the hard left statists in government, I cannot live with them. They have no honor.

This "fundamental transformation" being forced upon us is a massive usurpation of liberty that is intolerable.

I hate them for this; they will always be my enemies.
