Stimulus in a nutshell
By Mark Steyn

As an addendum to my weekend column, here's a snapshot of the "stimulus" in New Hampshire's second biggest city:

>>>The report also revealed that through the end of June that stimulus money created or saved 796 jobs, with 700 of those state workers who did not have to get laid off thanks to the federal grants, Fitch said.<<<

The "stimulus" is advancing an already bloated statism at the expense of the real economy. That's why it's a flop. As for who this Mr Fitch is, he's the "Acting State Stimulus Office Director". The "stimulus" is great if you're thinking of a career in Stimulus Office Management, Stimulus Office Management Consulting, Stimulus Office Human Services, Stimulus Office Promotion, or perhaps becoming a professor in Stimulus Office Studies.
