"Government Doesn't Create Jobs" (11/9/11)
# 2011-11-09 19:34Is
the government not creating jobs when it contracts Boeing or
McDonnell/Douglass to build a fighter plane, or some other company to
build an IED-resistant Armored Personnel Carrier? Is the government not
creating jobs when it funds NIH research grants...and those scientists
order kits and equipment from biotech supplier companies? Is the
government not creating jobs when it decides to build a road, or a dam?
Rush and the GOP believe that if you just repeat something over and
over and over, you will get enough people to believe it. And they could
be right, a decade or more of denying Global Warming as a hoax has
almost 1/2 of Americans calling themselves experts and actual climate
scientists as frauds!
