This coming from National Review Online Story on October 18, 2010! :
DAVID BROOKS: Yes. Well, I shouldn’t have confessed this. But, Obama had told me off the record about a year ago THAT THERE WERE NO "SHOVEL-READY JOBS FOR THE Stimulus Package that was being passed by congress earlier this year!.
JIM LEHRER: He said this to you a year ago?
DAVID BROOKS: It was obvious. Yes, I mean, you are trying to build a stimulus package. And when they were trying to build it, believe me, they would have loved to have filled it with infrastructure jobs. But the PROJECTS JUST DIDN'T EXIST!. They couldn’t do it. They couldn’t find them.
It's no wonder why the Stimulus was an miserable FAILURE!
What can the American Public make out of this?
This is some serious stuff! Where is the Government-sponsored media during all this-- where are their takes and stories about this? GONE! Ignoring it as USUSAL!! This is why people hate the media for being like Obama's lap-dog and ignoring this and other of his policies! A good reporter, or Journalist would have jumped on this and broke the rules to report this. Unlike David Brooks, the so-called journalist. HELLO PEOPLE! Billions and billions of dollars were spent based on the assertion of infrastructure being the primary item in this stimulus bill. IT WAS VOTED FOR THIS. BUT, IN ACTUALLITY IT WAS A PORKULUS BILL IN DISGUISE- NOTHING MORE, NOTHING LESS!! We were lied to, and here we have Brooks having it from the President's own lying mouth, and he did nothing! What's next coming out of his lying mouth? "We know that people won't really be able to keep their own health insurance plans, but that's off the record"? Or we know with passage of Obamacare THAT MOST EVERYBODY'S INSURANCE PREMIUMS WILL GO UP!, BUT THIS IS TOTALLY OFF THE RECORD! FORGET I SAID THIS NOW, BUT IT'S TRUE! BUT DON'T TELL ANYBODY, UNTIL AFTER IT'S VOTED ON!
Don't that wanna make you SHH&^*&*%%$$IT in your FLAT-HAT??
This being the case...How would you like to be a Democratic member of the House fighting for your life right now, getting hit over the head for having voted for the stimulus bill, and have the president say in The New York Times Sunday magazine, there’s no such thing as a shovel-ready project?

ttom500: Don't try to drag me into this. I have been waiting for Barack Obama to grab a silver plated shovel and to take the first digs into his stimulus projects. Am still holding my breath here.
The Sea Otters are currently screwing so, the study group is raring to go so, at least that is one project that was 'shovel ready.'

hotburninluv: I wish that would be the case! So much for the TRANSPARENCY that candidate Obumbler promised US before he became EMASCULATED President!
Here's another that since Obama has been in office he INCREASED the Deficit by only $3 TRILLION DOLLARS!
That is way I say that Obama is a man with a chip on his shoulders--THE SIZE OF THE NATIONAL DEBT...AND IT'S GETTING BIGGER AND BIGGER ALL THE TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One more for you...Obama said Obamacare wouldn't add one dime for the cost of it to the American taxpayers...he told the truth about this!
OKAY, SO IT WILL EVENTUALLY COST THE AMERICAN TAXPAYERS TRILLIONS OF DIMES! SO HE'S TELLING THE TRUTH IN A WAY BY SAYING THIS---IN HIS TWISTED AND PERVERTED WAY!
what the hell is 3 trillion dollars, whose mind can imagine this, and where the hell is it owed to??
tomcatwarne: well i looked but as you know who can say what 3 trillion dollars is, must be quite a few hospitals, help for people who really need it. schools, and a bit left over for the peeps who have actually generated it.
Has to be produced,before it can be spent! Government's Fiat doesn't impart any Value to it.

Well I am afraid I don't understand this, aparently it has been spent, otherwise how can it be owed. Maybe you could explain this paradox to me, in plain terms plse.
