I'll bet you he also eats babys and kittens. Oh wait, that is gov. Walker.


"WLS Radio's Bill Cameron Reports
CHICAGO (WLS) - Mayor Rahm Emanuel says he's going to lay off up to 625 city workers, a move he says will save $10 million to $12 million for the rest of this year.

During the news conference Emanuel said, “I did not create this problem, but I will resolve this problem. They can be my partner in doing things smarter, better and more efficient and cost-effective to the tax payers. The people that struggle everyday in this city, get up, raise their kids, go to work and pay the bills. I will be their voice. They deserve one in City Hall.”

He is laying off workers...because the tax revenue in our country is so far down that government can't pay its staff. Government has to downsize in hard times just like companies down-size in hard times...

It would be nice if both Obama and the Republicans had realized this sooner.

Stimulus? I wonder if it would have been better if we had handed everyone big checks like Bush had done instead of spending 200K to save jobs.

I thought is was more like 275k per job? Either way, it was a foolish way to "save or create" jobs when we were already broke.

The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.
