Did Ed Schultz's Construction Company Get Stimulus Money?
NewsBusters ^ | 06/24/2010 | Matt Hadro

While defending the Obama administration as a champion for small business owners, MSNBC host Ed Schultz revealed that his construction company more than doubled its number of employees in the past year – thanks to the stimulus bill.

"We've gone from eight employees to 20 employees in the past year, because of the stimulus package," he said of his construction company. "We've put some people back to work. There is some growth."

Schultz made that revelation as a guest on C-SPAN's "Washington Journal" Wednesday morning. In a segment of the show where he was discussing corporations shipping jobs overseas and skimping on benefits to regular workers and labor union members, Schultz stepped up and defended President Obama.

"This President, and this administration, has done more for small business than any other President has in the last thirty years," he claimed.

Ed Schultz is a complete and total whackjob - he needs to be institutionalized.

What kind of construction does this guy do? I don’t believe it. Clean up for a site maybe. Hang some gutters? Every one I know in the business that has a hand full of employees is right in there bidding, doing it, billing it, and chasing for the money. He would have a whole different attitude about taxes, health care and zer0.
I just do not believe it

the question becomes why didn’t he hire those workers to begin with. Why does he need subsidies to hire these workers? Was he too greedy before because it wasn’t economical?
