Someone ought to be asking just exactly what kind of jobs the private sector would create with government cutting its spending and "just getting out of the way", as Republicans claim they prefer.
I have a feeling that most of them are $8.00 an hour with no benefits. I also have a feeling that many of them are in industries that make their customers fatter, poorer and more stupid.

John Kline is right: only the private sector can create real, long-term, sustainable jobs that don’t disappear the moment the stimulus money is gone. If government really wants to “help” create private-sector jobs, the one and only thing that we need from government is a pledge to simply stay out of our way… Last time I checked, that kind of “help” doesn’t cost a dime, much less $450 billion. Hold on to your wallets, my fellow taxpayers – the liberals have a “plan” that will fix everything! (…what didn’t they learn from the epic failure of their last $1 trillion “stimulus plan”?!?)
