I dont think that was a missprint... I mean the Bailout of U.S. Banks Gave a British Rum maker a $2.7 Billion Benefit...
It's true the company was paid to move it's production of Captain Morgan rum from one U.S. island -- Puerto Rico -- to another, namely St. Croix.
Yup even Burger King and Nascar got a handout...

Is not surprises my friend if you have follow up the job indexes and the latest unemployment statistic you know that is not such thing as stimulus to create jobs.
Remember also that now the government calls rather than creation, preservation of existing jobs, because new ones has not been create in sustainable amounts to make a dent on the statistics.
Service jobs is no the same as permanent stable jobs that offers 40 hours a week and they are not minimum wage
Jobs been created are temporary and hours has been cut, in this nation we have lost most of the permanent middle class jobs created in the last ten years.

Well I tell you this much, we have all over the county nice expensive signs telling us that a portion of the road you are driving through has been payed by the American stimulus funds, but the thing is that the roads are the same as usual they just put a littler bit of asphalt in half a mile of the road and now the signs look more expensive than the fixed roads
Get my point.
Temporary jobs are not long lasting jobs that will help the nation emerge from a recession just add more burden to the states unemployment lines that if you qualify for unemployment, and boost the government numbers on job creation bringing a false sense of recovery.
