L.A. Controller Wendy Greuel said the job numbers were underwhelming. “I’m disappointed that we’ve only created or retained 55 jobs after receiving $111 million in [stimulus] funds,” Greuel said. “With our local unemployment rate over 12 percent, we need to do a better job cutting the red tape and putting Angelenos back to work.”
Great work Obama, you spent $2 million of our tax dollars per job created or saved. Fucking loser. [/quote]
I hope that this finally proves to people that in order to be an effective leader you actually have to have some executive experience, and of course not being a socialist would help as well. Whenever you try to create artificial jobs by increasing debt and stealing money from people who actually earned it, well we can see it doesn’t work.
At a point in our history where we really needed a leader to step up and turn us in the right direction we got sparky the neighborhood community organizer who thinks Karl Marx is a swell guy.
Hope & change what a joke, a very, very bad joke.[/quote]
A socialist without executive experience is actually funny.

The funny thing is that if you believe in top down management of an economy, should you not know how to run things?

Having grown up in Cuba, I can tell you that Socialists/Communists THINK they know how to run an economy, but they actually don’t know. They are smart, no denying that. Their problem is that they think they know everything. ![:slight_smile: :slight_smile:](https://emoji.discourse-cdn.com/apple/slight_smile.png?v=12)
Here is a fun example… One of the Socialist Economic questions my parents had to study were: “What is the value of potatoes? What is the value of oranges? And what is the difference in their value?”
Now remember this is not a monetary economy, so there is no PRICE level, no Demand level, and the Supply level is dictated by orders of the state.
How, I asked my parents, did you figure this shit out??? They said they didn’t, they just bullshitted their way around it. And so did their instructors, and so did the Soviet economic theory books they had to read.
