The Capital Cities Curmudgeon -- All Criticism, All the Time

We are dedicated to ridiculing big government as best we can. We honor an ancient truism: "There are people who can slap you on the back with one hand and pick your pocket with the other." We assume they are all politicians.

More of the Same

The Jobs Bill to be presented by President Obama early next month in a national address, will have nothing new in it.  He has nothing to offer except more of the same -- ideas that have already failed, many of them more than once.

The reason jobs are scarce is that most businesses are scared silly about the future and will not be committing to enlarge, modernize or expand to new locations.  They fear there will be no profit in it -- or worse, that the government will kill the business altogether with more nutty regulation or schemes like ObamaCare, the Socialized Medicine clone from Europe and Canada.

With the speech, Obama is wasting his time, he's wasting your time and he's stealing from the TV networks, who would rather be presenting profitable programs.  It's a shame they're made to feel obligated to give their valuable time to Obama for a free political campaign speech?  That's all it is.
