Confused?

Yesterday, I was watching a Congressman on one of the talk shows defending the Obama administration’s profligate spending of nearly a trillion dollars on the “stimulus.”   The commentator was pooh-poohing the figures that the representative was giving by showing that many of the claimed jobs were bogus.  The Congressman, in a huff and with an air of intellectual superiority, came forth with the administration’s vaunted talking point claim … “we have created a million jobs.”  You may believe that, but I don’t, however, I have a different point to make.

I hope that you have read my article, “Change for a million?”  When I wrote that, I pointed out that a trillion is a million million dollars.  What the Congressman was proudly saying was that we, my liberal colleges and I,  have provided a million jobs for a cost to the taxpayer of nearly $1,000,000 apiece.

He didn’t read the bill, he couldn’t have and understood its unknowable ramifications; he will never know the unintended human suffering that the bill causes because of it’s unobtainable mandates; and it is therefore apparent to me (and I hope others) that he isn’t nearly as smart as he thinks he is.

The unanswered question is:  is he evilly intellectually conscious of what he and his buddies are doing, or is he just plain stupid or  …  is he just “Confused?”
