They are doing it again, Congress digging us in deeper.

Real serious Jobs Bill we got here, 150 billion dollars total and a measly 354 Million for small business loans. Boy that Congress, they sure do want to help small business in America, the ones that creat 80% of jobs. I don't see how Congress or Barack could get any stupider but I'm sure they will show me.
Hope and Change All the Way.
November is coming, none to soon.
