On Oil Prices and Barron's Bullishness

The Office of Management and Budget (now run by the Democrats) says the Stimulus Spending won't create sustainable jobs and most of it won't be spent until after 2010 so what happened to "if we don't act now?"?

As for creating infrastructure jobs they will be temporary and will be seen that way so they will eventually go away; not sustainable. How will the creation of infrastructure jobs help auto workers, financial employees, brokers, real estate agents and reps, chemical workers and so many other people that aren't shovel ready. Will they be the one holding the stop sign.

There will have to be training if these hundreds of thousands that have been let go are to work on the bridges, highways and school buildings. Has anyone figured that in or will there just be a line of shovel ready applicants applying for the temporary jobs.

Chuck Schumer, Senator from New York said today that the American people don't care about "the tiny porky things" in the Stimulus Spending Plan.

I do. Each and every dollar should go to true stimulus but even at that... 790 Billion is about 1/5 of what it will take to bring us to the surface.

The Stimulus Plan... an opportunity missed.
