Mais Obamanomics (6)

Obama Administration Funds Special-Interest Groups, Wipes Out Jobs, Refuses to Cut Wasteful Spending, por Hans Bader:

«Obama is now refusing to sign off on any deal to lift the $14 trillion national debt ceiling unless it preserves wasteful green-jobs spending that has wiped out thousands of American jobs. He also refuses to give up rail boondoggles and waste-ridden stimulus programs that destroyed jobs (stimulus money has gone to prisoners and dead people, wasteful welfare spending, abandoned bridges, and redundant government buildings). His administration’s rail projects are expensive white elephants that will be used by very few travelers at an enormous cost per mile, and will not enable trains to go anywhere near as fast as they do in Europe, Japan, or China (making his claim that they are “high-speed” rail deeply misleading). Obama also refuses to trim increases in education outlays, even though there is plenty of waste and duplication in federal education spending, which has skyrocketed (and some education spending seems positively harmful, like the $130,000 in stimulus money was recently spent for a to treat students differently based on their race).»
