News Snippit of the day:
“Highway-construction companies around the country, having completed the mostly small projects paid for by the federal economic-stimulus package, are starting to see their business run aground, an ominous sign for the nation’s weak employment picture.”
But… I though Obama’s stimulus package was specifically designed for (how did he put it?) SHOVEL READY jobs?! I guess when Obama meant “shovel-ready” jobs… he didn’t mean what we all THOUGHT he meant. Kind of like when he told us all about healthcare REFORM… that wasn’t what we thought it meant either…. or when he said that it would be crazy to give Khalid Sheikh Mohammed a full civilian trial… I guess he didn’t really mean that either. Or maybe when he said he’d get the troops out of Iraq… maybe he meant something else there too…
If I didn’t know any better, I’d say I was being lied to.
