Super Boots
Just how many jobs has the "stimulus" created? Today's Wall Street Joural [2]points to an interesting claim by the Obama administration...
"...how many Americans does it take to make nine pairs of work boots? According to the White House's recovery.gov site, an $890 shoe order for the Army Corps of Engineers, courtesy of the stimulus package, created nine new jobs at Moore's Shoes & Services in Campbellsville, Kentucky. ..."
Yep. Super Boots. Able to create multiple jobs in a single laceup.
Guess who's not arresting illegal aliens...
Well, I'll give you three guesses, and the last two don't count.
(Via the WashTimes [3]) It seems that arrests, indictments and/or convictions of illegal immigrants have fallen by over 50% since this time last year. And we all know what happened about a year ago.
GOP Representative Lamar Smith points out that lax enforcement on illegal alien workers means less jobs for Americans - in a time when (ahem) jobs are getting harder to come by.
CNN forced to admit the truth
On abortion that is [4]. Specifically, the fact the the overwhelming majority of the American public opposes funding abortion with public taxdollars.
"A CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Wednesday morning indicates that 61 percent of the public opposes using public money for abortions [5] for women who can not afford the procedure, with 37 percent in favor of allowing the use of federal funds.
"And by a 51 percent to 45 percent margin, those questioned in the survey think that women who get abortions should pay the full costs out of their own pocket, even if they have private health insurance and no federal funds are involved. ..."
I suppose the folks over at CNN are as surprised by the data as we are that they actually published the results.
