Obama's bus tour

So he's using a bus made in Canada to go around telling Americans that he wants to put them to work with construction jobs...................that'll just end up going to illegal Mexicans while contractors pocket huge profits off of not paying Americans.

Is he totally oblivious to this?

Really?  You can back this claim up, right?  You can link to a page that shows what the US federal budget REALLY is, then?  Preferably a page that doesn't have goofy background images and a MIDI file of the Internationale churning away in the background, right?

I'm waiting.

Why is construction always the go to for "fixing unemployment"?
Leftists and unions pretend that there is some huge infrastructure crisis and that for some reason the private sector has completely ignored this enormous demand to fix the US's "third world" infrastructure.
More likely union members just want to stand around, being unproductive and receive money for it.
There seems to be this stupid idea that when people are hired by the government, wealth is created. People don't realise that you are simply taking wealth (and therefore jobs) from one area and moving them to another, so while you very well may create 40 000 jobs in one area and help it's economy (this number will be reported) 40 000 jobs are lost elsewhere and those economies are drained (this number won't be reported). ALWAYS look at both sides when commenting on economic issues.
Then again if you payed any attention to basic economic principles you would not be a leftist.
