I sure wish the federal government would stop trying to help us. The latest big-government bailout comes from President Obama's so-called "American Jobs Act.". You've no doubt noticed that the president has refrained from calling it a "stimulus" bill, because it is quite apparent his latest economic swindle won't stimulate anything. Obama's bill would shovel $475 million into the state of Idaho. The White House says its legislation would provide $160 million to keep 2,500 teachers, police officers and firefighters on the job, pay for $190 million in highway and transit projects, supply $105 million for fixes to schools and community colleges and $20 million to fix up vacant or foreclosed homes and commercial buildings. With such a massive boondoggle, it's hard to know precisely where to start with the criticism/Wayne Hoffman, Idaho Freedom Foundation. More here.
