Did you ever wake up in the morning warm and fuzzy? Then as you really woke up, you were a bit cold and wet and then you realized you wet the bed and are lying in a urine soaked mess that YOU have to clean up...
Well folks, I hope you have fresh sheets ready!
- MSN reports 1 of 5 municipalities are OUT of Recession and starting to recover...
- The DOW broke 10,000 yesterday...
- A thousand jobs saved or created in Texas from stimulus (Just over 30,000 nationwide) is breaking news...
You have got to be kidding me. 9.8% (more like 17% if you count everyone) are out of work or doing whatever they can to just survive. I would venture to bet that Ramen Noodles and PB&J are the only things moving off the shelves at most grocery stores in any quantity... AND Health Care Lobbying is about to hit UNREAL amounts of money! (Where does that go by the way?)
So lets see, Obama says "3.5 million saved or created" by stimulus by end of 2010... lets do some math...
30,000 in to be fair 5 months, just to give the government time to get their promise organized. That equals averaging 6,000 jobs a month NATIONWIDE! To meet Obama numbers we would have to wait 583 months (48.6 years for those of you keeping score) to hit his mythical projection.
OK, I know your saying "But the funds don't start flowing until 2010 from the stimulus...". Well, first, why did we BACK load a plan when we needed relief immediately? OH, election-protection, I forgot. OK Lets do some more math then...
Lets assume that 10 times the 6,000 jobs or 60,000 jobs nationwide is the average for 2010. A better number right? WRONG! Still 58 months before we hit the promise number. (4.8 years)
So what will it take? Let's round this thing off to be safe and say that to hit his number of 3,500,000 jobs 2010 would have to see (removing some for the rest of 2009 to be safe) an average of 250,000 jobs per month! Now, those numbers would impact our unemployment rate wouldn't they? Heck we would have to import workers just to keep up with all the work flowing out there! (Not really, because so many are out of work now)
So, providing citizens don't stay on their government funded butts and go get jobs when they are created, and Obama can create 41 times the jobs in 2010 (per month) that he has in our dire crisis ridden economy and the dollar we get paid is worth more than say a hand full of Ramen Noodles... We will be just fine... It was all a dream and we didn't wet-the-bed!
