I’m sure this will drive those right wingnuts crazy!
In Obama’s response to the latest news that we lost 533,000 jobs over the last month, he announced that he would expand government spending and make the single largest new investment in our infrastructure since the Eisenhower administration. He plans on creating or maintaining at least 2.5 million jobs in doing so.
You know this news is driving those neo-cons crazy! They never understand the benefits of allowing the growth of government for the purpose of creating new jobs while making improvements to the basic necessities of this country - roads, public schools, public buildings, and the health care system. I’m sure they’re going to start crying about the fact that we already have a $57 trillion deficit and this is just going to increase it. Poppycock! Did it ever occur to them by creating millions of new jobs this also increases revenues coming in to the government?
When business is more efficient and there are more workers in the workforce the government and the economy benefits. Obama’s plan is to provide efficiencies and expand the economy. If they call this socialism - it is socialism that I can believe in.
I know he’s not in office yet - but - we can show our support for this by logging in to his website at http://change.gov/open_government/yourseatatthetable and letting him know!
Thanks,

Their whole ideology is tremendously flawed. People that believe that no good can come from government have no business being involved in government.
