Democrats have always worked and worked hard. We have been brought up to believe that hard work and friends were the way to make America better..
SO WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED to US?
Where did the money go that was stated to be used for shovel ready jobs?
Why have we as a nation promising billions to others when we do not have a tax base to support the wars we are in, our own health care plan, and our own poor?
Where are those shovel ready jobs?
Has anyone here at DAILY KOS been hired for a SHOVEL READY JOB?
You have to ask yourself..... Who are these fools in GOVERNMENT working for?
And where will we..... Yeah , YOU and ME get the money to continue our life styles and feed our children?
These people are in the pockets of world wide criminals benifiting from the working class of America, and forcing this working class Democrat to his knee's.
The president-elect declined to say Sunday how much his economic stimulus plan would cost. Obama called it the largest public-works program since the creation of the interstate highway system in the 1950s.
The plan includes spending on what Obama called "shovel-ready" projects to rebuild roads, make buildings energy efficient, modernize schools and upgrade hospital technology.
The Democrat's blueprint is the right approach because projects such as roads incur maintenance costs that create jobs over the long term, said Sean Snaith, a University of Central Florida economist. "It's time-release medicine for the economy," he said.

HAS anyone here at the Daily Kos seen a shovel ready project get going, or has anyone here gotten hired in a job from stimulus money?
This is a simple question. Don't lie, I have checked and had family and friends ask around....... No one has been called to, for, or about a stimulus job.
The banks in Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska and Arizona have laid off.
Caterpillar, has laid off more..... Where are the road projects.... where are the reuilding of the infrastructure?
WHERE DID THE MONEY GO?
It really upsets me to hear that we are not concerned for OUR people who have mortgages.....
It concerns me that bringing the UNITED STATES economy down to a third world status is the only way we could be broken.
And we... let.. it .. HAPPEN!
Kucinich is right!
Kucinich: ‘Class war is over, working people lost’
Reflecting on the growing divide between Wall Street and Main Street, Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) on Wednesday offered a powerful critique on the state of the economy in an open committee hearing.
"The class warfare is over -- we lost," Kucinich said before the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. "I want to make that announcement today. Working people lost. The middle class lost."
The harrowing comments from Kucinich, who is Chairman of the Domestic Policy Subcommittee, come amidst a national unemployment rate of 10 percent, one year and several months after the economic collapse of 2008 has marred the livelihoods of many.
"Don't tell me about class warfare," he continued. "Come to my neighborhoods in Cleveland. I will show you class warfare. I’ll show you hollowed out areas. I’ll show you businesses that went down because they don’t have access to capital. And on Wall Street it is fat city. Don’t tell me about class warfare."
Kucinich, a former presidential candidate who is viewed across the nation as a progressive champion on many issues, said that despite the recent uptick in economic figures, many regular Americans continue to struggle.
