“It’s very clear that private-sector jobs have been doing just fine; it’s the public-sector jobs where we’ve lost huge numbers, and that’s what this legislation is all about,” – Harry Reid
That leakage from the alternate universe is getting bad.

It’s the Brain Damage from his Amateur Boxing days that’s catching up with him. Good thing he didn’t say that during last year’s Election in Nevada, huh? Sure that would have gone over as well as Yucca Flats.

These people seem to think they can say anything to us, and we’ll accept it uncritically, like whatever is the last thing we’ve heard represents the truth to us. What’s a real shame is how often that’s true.
I decided to look at it critically too, so I went to the originating article and read the quote in context. He speaks one truth. State and local governments have been hit the hardest by the recession (compared to businesses) and that has resulted in a major decrease in services. This bill is to fund state programs to try to keep those services afloat.
That said anybody can argue that state government is bloated as it is and this trimming up is good for them. I think most people would agree until they (for instance) call 911 and get put on hold because there aren’t enough operators (Detroit, Tulsa). Just sayin’ it’s good to be critical, but view all the information you see critically and you might find that the other side is just insane as opposed to absolutely crackers.
I expect to see, at any moment, a young Spock, sporting a goatee. Ugh!
