A backdoor stimulus that includes handouts for rehabbing abandoned properties (ACORN), and also contains language to limit state rights. This whole thing stinks to high heaven.

Any Governor or State Legislature that accepts this blood money should be jailed for treason.

Lets see, more Crony Capitalism, theft of freedom, bribes and payoffs and all it will cost is $235,563 per 1,900,000 jobs created. What a pant load!

“The $447 Billion American Jobs Act will create 1.9 million American jobs.” President Obama - Washington, D.C. Fundraiser - Sept. 15, 2011

(447,000,000,000/1,900,000=$235,363)

Now, how much you want to bet it was 1.9 mil jobs @ $25,000 a year with $225,000 per job Acorn Payment for another thrown election due to Massive Voter Fraud?

Excellent find. Thanks for posting it.

Obama is executing a plan: destroy our freedom and turn the US into a central-government-run dictatorship.

The more the RATS can jam through (prior to Jan 3, 2011), and the more the GOP wants to form agreements with the RATS, it only becomes harder and harder to undo this TRANSFORMATION of America. Boy king and his commie supporters know this. Anyone think SS will ever be eliminated or even modified?

I don’t get why they even bother, their own hand picked employees in black robes have already created a legal fiction to enable them to ignore the 11th amendment as of a 100 years ago.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ex_parte_Young

They have already declared themselves to be Omnipotent effectively above the law.
