Bipartisan stupidity

Our current senators are currently dislocating their shoulders back slapping each other for the current jobs bill they passed.

I haven't seen the details of the bill but apparently the biggest piece of this is a tax credit for hiring unemployed workers.

This is a blatant display of senatorial ignorance. Why?

Let's take a landscaper as an example. Because business is slow (and landscapers give me lots of campaign money), Senator Gekko would like to propose a tax credit to all homeowner's willing to hire a landscaper to mow lawns in the month of February.

If you are an Ohio homeowner, do you take advantage of the credit given that most this month lawns have been covered in snow?

If your answer is yes, then you are as mentally deranged as a US senator.

Now let's apply this credit nationwide. People who need lawn care in Coastal Florida this time of year will use the credit because they are already using lawn services. Not one job was created, it was simply subsidizing what would would happen naturally if demand for goods and services were there.

So congratulations Senator Shit for Brains, you'll take credit for all those landscaper jobs in March when those companies would have been hiring anyway.
