I've heard the right-wing politicians claim that President Obama's fiscal policies are driving the U.S. economy down the tubes, but things can't be as bad as they claim if people have four billion dollars to shell out for political campaigns to spend on TV ads and billboards, which is how much has been spent during the current congressional campaigns. And let's not forget the fact that only 1/3 of the U.S. Senate is up for election, so 66 senators are watching from the sidelines.
Four billion dollars, if spent on creating jobs that paid $30,000 apiece, would place 133,333 workers back on the job. That's no small number.
Instead, the four billion dollars will simply enrich media outlet owners and create 469 congressional jobs…albeit a majority of which are Republican jobs. That's the Republican version of sound economic policy, which is why I'll be voting for the other guys.
