There are a class of last spring's job seekers who aren't eligible for unemployment extensions because they never had a job yet. Last fall they voted for change. Add in another class next spring and one in four will not be working.

job creation has to be the focus of the White House, not some planning for a new green future, but real progess with work projects underway

that we can't afford to nation build in Asia is Biden's best argument because those resources are needed here for roads and bridges too

FEMA wants to start collecting rent on the trailers they furnished last years flood victims. The program for first time home buyers is a classic example of drawing a line though, above which help is extended. we are sliding towards a permanent underclass like Mumbai if we aren't careful

early retirement of boomers would help if we weren't so damn selfish as a group and think we can live at the same level of affluence without being productive as we were in our prime building the current wealth

now the moon has set the dawn not yet here and you can't see your hand in front of your face

and yet the bonuses are paid anyway, like that exercise mattered

Remember, remember the 5th of November. You can run, but you cant hide from......the truth.

for race to the top stimulus money for education unless they changed the law and allowed teachers to be ranked on the basis of test scores of students.
