Congratulations on your new President and I hope he does your country proud..

Given the global economy this is quite amazing. But on the otherhand, divide that 3.2 million into the $850 million they are expecting this to cost and you got a cost of $265,625 per job created. Yep. Sounds like a sound plan to me.

My beliefs, ethics, and sense of understanding is exactly the same as it was. No amount of drum beating, trumpet playing, flag waving, or fancy speeches has changed that. Not one bit.
