Was flipping through some of the cable political shows tonite. Every Democratic guest mentioned firemen, teachers and cops suggesting more govt workers needed to hired as a stimulus plan. Never heard any other occupation mentioned.

After a while I thought they would break into song like in the Wizard of Oz!

I guess that's all those socalled private sector people we bailed out before. That's right they spent that money to bail out their pensions instead. Thanks joe bite me..

That's funny! I've heard that said before. If the government creates more government jobs, it helps to stimulate the economy.
I don't know if that's a good remedy though.

I thought it was collecting unemployment payments stimulated the economy, according to nancy palocie. I say puts about 200,000 of government employees on unemployment payments and stimulate the economy.

Yup. Heard that one too from her. Gotta give her credit. She's giving plenty of material to comedians.

Not sure what you mean by breaking into that song And what occupation would you want have to been mentioned. To me....firemen, teachers and cops are the heros in this country. They do so much for us with so little pay and accolades yet we expect so much from them. All some can do is criticize though

If local commmunities want them then they can hire them. Federal monies would just be temporary as its going to get tighter when more cuts come in government spending.They alreadfy had two year of stimulus spending that delayed the recessions effects on their jobs.
