$12 Billion For Training People For Jobs Of The Future

I have been away from writing and commenting for a couple of weeks. That does not mean I have not been been watching, reading, waiting and reacting to what has been going on in our nation. In the interim, Farrah Fawcet, Michael Jackson, Ed McMahon, and Billy Mays all passed away. But B-Rock marches on toward world domination.

When you get a chance try to add additional water to your toilet bowl by pouring a gallon of water into it. What you will find is that even though you are pouring more water than your bowl can hold the water level never rises as it is siphoned off to keep the water level constant. That is how I feel about the money our president continues to pledge to spend to the American people and to other nations around the world.

President B-Rock is proposing spending $12B on the nations community colleges in an effort to reach, teach and train more people for "the jobs of the future." That is all fine and dandy but the future is now. With unemployment sitting at 9.5% and the president himself stating that it will rise over the next several months, committing money toward training for jobs that have yet to be created will be a total waste of tax payer money. Pouring additional water into the toilet to keep it level!

But wait, we have already been there and done that with the $787B stimulus package that has yet to stimulate anything as only $60B of it has been actually spent. That is less than 10% of the total. But this president had to have a spending bill on his desk immediately after taking the oath of office. He had to be able to review it for five days(we all would have liked to have seen it for five days) before signing it and the American people were suppose to be able to view it for themselves. The water level is still the same but the results are getting worse!

B-Rock spoke today in Warren, Michigan, a state that has been hardest hit by this backwards running economy. The president told the citizens there that many of the jobs lost in the auto industry will not be coming back. Duh! A large dose of reality for those who are already figuring this out since the guberment owns and operates two of the biggest American car makers. But yet we still hold out for the 2 million, no I mean 3 million, oh wait I think the final number was 4.1 million jobs to be created or saved by this administration. Yet his proclamation was that his stimulus has created 150,000 jobs.

But back to the 'jobs of the future' training that the Nations community colleges are suppose to be gearing up to teach. Is the president putting the cart before the horse in this instance? I don't mean because he is anticipating creating new jobs but because he thinks these new jobs are going to come from new energy sources.

First he will need to get his 'Cap N Trade' cereal bill through the Senate and onto his desk in order to move this country toward Obama "energy independence." Then we need to figure out which former GM and Chrysler plants will be able to build wind turbines efficiently with union labor and where will these people get their training to build said turbines. Finally, and this is where the cart gets ahead of the horse, only some of the money he is proposing will not be allocated until the next fiscal year. As with the case of the stimulus money being less than 10% spent in six months time we could possibly have these people educated and ready to work by 2015. But the recession should be over by then, right? Still trying to change that toilet water level by adding more water to the bowl!

Here is the rub. B-Rock Obama has done little to improve this nation's economy. He is not the guy you want speaking about the economy or tinkering with it as his only ideas come in the form of pouring more water into the toilet only to see the water level never change. Some would wonder where he gets these ideas and how late he stays up formulating this stuff. Obama thinks an associates degree will be necessary for the 'jobs of the future.' So once again he wants to reform something, and that is the nation's community colleges but I have to ask, where does he get these silly ideas? Could the short answer to that question be, V.P. Joe Biden?

Perez Hilton Takes A Beat Down....Well Sort Of!

I really could care less about this overly obnoxious blow hard but I could hardly contain myself when I viewed his recent video blog of his alleged attack by the manager of the pop group, Black Eyed Peas.

In view of the trashy statements that this idiot made about the former Ms. California, Carrie Prejean, I could care less about this piece of human trash. I watched the video of him telling his side of the story to the assault and all I could do was laugh. He launched into a tirade about group member, will. i. am, only to say that it was the manager that hit him.

My favorite line in the post was, "I like writing about other people's drama. I don't want drama in my life." So much for keeping drama out of your life huh Mario. Perez makes a bold assertion that he does not need additional press because he has 10 million visitors to his web site daily. Oooooh! 10 million idiots or maybe 200,000 that visit so frequently that it adds up to 10 million! Either way this guy gets no sympathy from me or should he get any from anyone. He only reaped what he has sown.

He insulted Ms. Prejean because her views are different from his. He hangs around with the celebrity elite, and I don't know why, but thinks that we should pity him because he got knocked on his ass for calling will. i. am a faggot. You can see this idiot make a fool of himself by following this link!


Well Ms. Perez welcome to the real world. I guess you thought that the body guard for Lady GaGa was your body guard. Obviously not, he did what he should have done and that was protect his paying client not your stupid behind. I am not advocating violence against anyone but this idiot got out of his sandbox when he decided to mess with members of the Black Eyed Peas. You see Perez, Ms. Prejean could not come out at you. Many bloggers did but she could not for public relations reasons. So you got a little smack upside the head. Get over yourself. You are one big dramatic martyr and no one cares. No Pity Party for you young lady!

For the record I hope whomever smacked you is found guilty of assault. But you need to stop whining about "they followed me to the hotel" where you stated they were also staying thus they were not following you. Stop being a wuss and crawl back into your hole for another 30 or 40 years.

And your effing tirade toward the Black Eyed Peas at the end of the video was not necessary and to call Fergie "fugly" really riles me up. She did nothing to your disgusting butt. You got embarrassed and only wanted to get your face in front of the public with your martyred tale of whoa!

For the readers that normally visit my blog you know that this is off base for my commentary but I needed a little therapy and this guy gave it to me.

Maybe this will force Perez or Mario whatever his name is to just quietly go away.

Those are my words! Please post yours!

Jobs Saved or Created...I Am Still Dazed and Confused!

Every time President B-Rock announces that his "stimulus plan" will 'save or create' jobs I keep asking which is it Mr. President; 'save or create.' I think we all know the answer. It is neither.

This president who has a fascination with hearing himself speak and seeing himself on T.V. has once again trotted out the 'saved or created' statistic. He claimed yesterday and had done so earlier this year during one of his many prime time addresses that his stimulus plan has created or saved 150,000 American Jobs. And I thought that you could get a top notch education at Harvard. It is obvious that they do not teach mathematics or even rudimentary arithmetic at this institution of higher learning.

But now the biggest lie is that he is now claiming that his stimulus plan will 'save or create' over 600,000 jobs. That is an additional 450,000 ficticious jobs added.

Close to 2 million Americans have lost their jobs since B-Rock took over as our leader. He claimed during the campaign that his economic policies would create 2 million, then 3 million and finally 4 million jobs. Yet when we do the basic arithmetic on any of these projections and with the number of Americans on unemployment he has not even scratched the surface of job creation.

This president has bit off more than he can chew. The government does not creates jobs. The market does that. But when you have government intervention in the free market you have job losses. Secondly, even the Department of Labor will tell him there is no way to track or find out if any jobs were "saved." This is a fictitious claim that Obama keeps touting with no evidence to back it up. Yet no one in the media stands up to challenge these assertions of "saved" jobs. He is using estimates to come up with these numbers. So his figures go unchallenged. The bottom line is that there is no way to track the number of jobs "saved."

Let's for the sake of humor give Mr. Obama the 150,000 jobs he has claimed that his administration has "saved or created." Let's deduct the approximately 27,000 Chrysler will have to let go because of its recent bankruptcy filing and add to it the approximately 20,000 that General Motors will be furloughing now he is on the downward slide of losing 47,000 jobs from the supposedly 150,000 that was created. The net effect is only 103,000 jobs "saved or created." This does not include the number of layoffs as a result of the 1,800 dealership closings of both automakers.

With the national unemployment rate at 9.4%, I have a plea for the president. Please allow me to send you my slightly used HP-12C calculator. It is still functioning from when I received my college education and I am sure it can be of some use to you as well. It not only does basic math but you can even use it to calculate the amount of interest we are paying on your stimulus plan daily. Or just use the built in calculator in your Blackberry. The people need facts not boastful unsubstatiated claims of phoney pie in the sky jobs numbers.

That's my word! Please post yours!

The Nutty Professor

It doesn't get any better than this. Obama's Energy Secretary, Steven Chu, has suggested that we paint our roof tops white to control global warming. He hypothesizes that lighter colored roofs would reflect heat into space rather than having it absorbed by darker surfaces thus cutting down on the use of air conditioning and saving money on energy usage.

Dr. Chu is a Nobel Prize Physicist who is known for his research on laser cooling. He is from a family of scientist that have excelled at their craft. He, however, must be riding the loony bus now. Proposing that hotter countries paint their roofs in order to save on air conditioning is akin to blowing on fire to cool it off. At least this cabinet secretary did not have a tax problem to go along with his 'white roof theory'!

Even if global warmist were truly correct, this kind of stupidity would bring their cause down. These guys would have you believe that man is causing this gigantic planet to warm up thus eventually causing the polar ice caps to melt, even though science has already proven that the world has actually cooled over the past several years. It is obvious that the theories behind global warming are incorrect or we would not have such lame ideas coming about. He is also suggesting that roads be more of a concrete color and that this would also help.

Since I am not a scientist and have never played one on T.V. I have a couple of questions:
If we paint our roofs so that we reflect heat into outer space, what happens on those cloudy days when the heat is being reflected back by the cloud cover? Will the heat then bounce around like the ball in the old pong video game? Why not just build several million giant mirrors to reflect the sunlight back to the sun!?

With trillions of dollars of debt, how are we to pay for this painting program in the U.S.? I am certain that we will need to use an eco-green paint to not place any unnecessary chemicals or carbon release into the atmosphere. The poor will not be able to afford to have their roofs painted so I guess we could create jobs for painting roofs. To cover a typical roof would require over 5 gallons of paint. Buying 5 gallons of paint from an online site for green paints would cost upwards of $260.

I think about the reflective qualities of concrete and white in general and I believe that it would cause major disruptions in air travel. We would have all of this reflective material bouncing heat and light back into the air and pilots from airlines as well as the space shuttle would have difficulty seeing. I say this because on a recent trip to Florida, driving down I-75 with its concrete color and the sun at high noon, I had to put my sunglasses on to keep the highway from blinding me.

This whole idea just stinks of lunacy and further weakens the cause of Global Warming. I am not a conservationist nor eco-terrorist. I use fossil fuels, electricity and water because it is there. I depend on it to be there. I do not recycle because I will not sort my trash unless there is something in it for me. Trying to decide if certain plastics are recyclable or not is just too much for me to fathom at this time. Having multiple trash receptacles is a waste of space in my garage. My car belongs there not my trash.

However, I am not opposed to finding alternative energy sources. But I am opposed to trying to rescue the economy by creating jobs around energy sources such as wind, thermal, hydro or solar. These ideas have merit but not on a grand scale except for maybe hydro power. We are a nation that depends on flicking the light switch in the up position and having the lights come on. Go green if you want to but just don't go goofy trying to do it. And definitely do not force it upon so many just to support a weak theory surrounding Global Warming.

Away for A While

I will not be blogging much this week as I am off to Florida for my baby boy's high school graduation exercises and small family reunion. He has done a marvelous job of studying and readying himself for college. So if you don't hear from me the remainder of the week it is because I am with him, my brother, sister and parents as well as my former in-laws. Since I don't get to see my brother and sister as much as I'd like this will be a good time to catch up with them and my parents. If I find a topic that really strikes my nerve I will pull out the laptop and type away otherwise my voice will be a little silent this week.
