how much longer will this lame shit go on? isn't the federal government bankrupt in all but name? yet this whore of a congressman can use my tax dollar to mail me propaganda about what a staunch defender of american jobs he is and how he is fighting in washington to bring home dollars for local communities to invest in sustainable energy projects...tapping into the methane generated by munster's landfill and converting it to electricity is laudable...no question...i have to ask how large the landfill is and how long it will produce methane in quantities large enough to prove useful...but someone has already looked into that...right? the inside of this mailing deals mainly with pete's efforts to provide tax incentives to corporations to move into his district...when the whores use the magic word "jobs' that's usually what they're really talking about...supporting corp[orate entities with federal cash and rationalizing it with the creation of "jobs" that won't make any substantive impact on regional unemployment much less the politically expediently cooked numbers that come out of the bureau of labor statistics...$9.5 million to create 512 jobs...that's about $18,554 a job...the federal debt clock pegs the "official" unemployed at just over 13,000,000 so...$241,202,000,000 is all the feds have to spend to end unemployment forever...a bargain compared to some of the stupid things they're up to now...where's that job program at? as a counterpoint to the "green" project on the front, the back sports a photo of the expansion going on at bp/ammoco ( pete's biggest single donor) to process canadian tar sands...a filthy process that will foul the air and dump toxic, carcinogenic waste into lake michigan ( a key reason for pete's resistance to the american clean energy and safety act)...fuck these people.
