Behold, The Circle of Government Life
CARPE DIEM: Behold, The Circle of Government Life
"So to recap:
massive government subsidies created 1,100 "green jobs" that never would've existed but for those massive government subsidies.
And when those fake jobs disappeared because the subsidized employer company couldn't compete in the market, the workers blamed China (instead of what's easily one of the worst business plans ever drafted) in order to receive... wait for it... more government subsidies.
Behold, the Circle of Government Life."

The EPA’s Most-Wanted List
The EPA’s Most-Wanted List - By Hans A. von Spakovsky - The Corner - National Review Online
But did you know that the Environmental Protection Agency also has its own FBI-type list of 18 most-wanted environmental fugitives?
Their menacing violations include “multiple counts for the blending of motor fuel” (oh my!), selling “R-12 Freon, an ozone depleting substance” (gadzooks!), importing “automobiles that did not meet” U.S. emissions standards (horrors!), giving “indications that the oil-content monitor downstream of the [freighter] vessel’s oily-water separator had been bypassed” (heavens to Betsy!) and aiding and abetting “false entries into an Oil Record Book” (bring out the guillotine!).

Houston, We Have a Solution
Houston, We Have a Solution - Mario Loyola - National Review Online
Detroit, conversely, is proof of concept for the liberal vision of government, which seeks to solve every problem through government, to shape economic development through government, to redress grievances through government, to attain social justice through government, and, finally, to insinuate government into every aspect of our lives.
The problems Detroit faced in the latter half of the 20th century would have been enormously challenging no matter what policies it embraced.
But it embraced the worst ones and so plunged recklessly down the slope of decline.

"We have a broken system," he said.
At a news conference announcing his initiatives, he weighed himself -- 194 pounds -- and had his blood pressure measured -- 142 over 80.
Snyder said he plans to post his health statistics on a website, so the public can track his attempts to live a healthier lifestyle.

But Obama did no such thing. Not only was there no bill when he delivered the speech, even this many days after the speech the bill has never been introduced in the House of Representatives where such bills might begin the legislative process.
That means that there was no bill called the “American Jobs Act of 2011″ in the House, so Rep. Gohmert was under no compulsion not to use it as a name for his own bill.
