"The basis of a bill would include a path toward citizenship for the 10.8 million people living in the U.S. illegally... Undocumented workers would need to register, pay taxes and pay a penalty for violating the law."

North Carolina has a 11%+ unemployment rate. There are more than 30,000 people that have lost their jobs and are looking for work in my county. More than 40,000 in the next county. Obama to the rescue! Hope and change for...






Monkeys!

"The [$71,623 federal stimulus grant] is examining the effects of cocaine on... monkeys who have had a long-term addiction to cocaine." Total jobs saved or created: "Well, a job, said Mark Wright, a spokesman for the Wake Forest University School of Medicine. "It's actually the continuation of a job that might not still be there if it hadn't been for the stimulus funding. And it's a good job," Wright said." Yeah, getting monkeys high on cocaine, who wouldn't want that job? Someone call Mike Rowe!

Comments in the blog:
"And I am sure the president is behind this one too.....Monkey research....how funny....along with all the other wasteful spending...but yes, I remember, he won the election"

"oh i get it six human jobs and 14 monkey jobs saved or created. question... how much of the 147K is left over for salaries once you buy cocaine?
or if 147K over 24 months of time which pays for 6 people or 12k per person? you cant get a monkey (pun intended) to work for 12K a year..... my guess is that 147K is going to ONE PERSON for two years at a salary of 73.5K a.year and the other jobs created are in someones head."

Rep. Eric Massa (D-N.Y.) says the House ethics committee is investigating him for inappropriate comments he made to a male staffer on New Year's Eve — and that he's the victim of a power play by Democratic leaders who want him out of Congress because he's a "no" vote on health care reform. "Mine is now the deciding vote on the health care bill," Massa, who on Friday announced his intention to resign, said during a long monologue on radio station WKPQ. "And this administration and this House leadership have said, quote-unquote, they will stop at nothing to pass this health care bill. And now they've gotten rid of me and it will pass. You connect the dots."

...on our economy. :C

(Wonder why Obama isn't mentioning this?)
"Unemployment rose in 30 states in January, the Labor Department said Wednesday, evidence that jobs remain scarce in most regions of the country...five states reported record-high joblessness in January: California, at 12.5 percent; South Carolina, 12.6 percent; Florida, 11.9 percent; North Carolina, 11.1 percent; and Georgia, 10.4 percent.

"Friday, March 19, 2010 The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows that 23% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-four percent (44%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -21. That matches the lowest Approval Index rating yet recorded for this President.
http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/obama_administration/daily_presidential_tracking_poll

[Gallop]"Obama's approval rating has hovered around 50% since November, but in the last two days has declined to the point that slightly more Americans now disapprove than approve of his performance in office.

The new low ratings come during a week in which the White House and Democratic congressional leaders are working to convince wavering House Democrats to support healthcare reform, which they hope to pass using a series of parliamentary maneuvers in the House of Representatives and Senate."

"Sales of existing homes fell for a third straight month in February, pushing sales down to the lowest level since last July. There is concern the fragile housing rebound is faltering, making it harder for the overall economy to recover."

"...sales nationally have been declining since November, eroding gains made over the summer. The downward direction troubled economists because [Obama] has taken unprecedented steps to support the housing sector."

Can't wait for Obama's Health Care Reform to kick in! It's going to be like Christmas!

"The Internal Revenue Service will function as the government’s chief enforcer for health care reform, should President Obama sign the bill into law as expected, monitoring both businesses and individuals to certify whether they have the insurance coverage the government requires."

"All employers with 50 employers or more will also be required to provide their employees with that same minimum level of coverage.
While that minimum level of coverage will be defined at a later date by the Department of Health and Human Services, it will be the responsibility of the IRS to monitor individuals and employers and to punish those who do not comply."

"The IRS would monitor individuals and businesses’ health insurance statuses through the mandatory reporting the bill requires. Under the law, every individual and most businesses are required to report to the IRS, on their tax returns, whether they have purchased or provided the required level of coverage and disclose to the IRS which months, if any, in which they failed to do so."

"...the Congressional Budget Office estimated that the IRS will need $10 billion in additional funds, funds which were not made available under the health reform bill."

"Because these new mandates and taxes are under the purview of the IRS, taxpayers and businesses could incur additional penalties normally reserved for normal income tax cheats, paying fees over and above those for not complying with Congress’ new mandates."

Now, don't you feel healthier already? I know I do!
