>> It amazes me how indifferent you all are to the plight of other Americans...........esp the ones who are unemployed; how your wallets come first.

Not everyone agrees that spending taxpayer dollar improves the plight of other Americans. That is your tunnel-vision point of view based on zero knowledge of economics or history.

Henry Morganthau, who was in charge of spending the money for FDR's administration, famously said, "We have tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work....After eight years of this administration we have just as much unemployment as when we started...and an enormous debt to boot!"

Expanding on this comment, "We have tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work. And I have just one interest, and if I am wrong … somebody else can have my job. I want to see this country prosperous. I want to see people get a job. I want to see people get enough to eat. We have never made good on our promises. … I say after eight years of this Administration we have just as much unemployment as when we started. … And an enormous debt to boot."

So, while you cynically suggest that "we" don't care about other Americans, you should keep in mind that a lot of us are just looking at the facts, which are that when government spends money on "jobs", it doesn't NOT improve the "plight of the American People." At least if history is an indication.

While you may cynically attribute attitudes that don't agree with yours to some kind of hatred toward other people, perhaps you ought to reexamine your OWN motivations. I can understand you being wrong to the detriment of fellow Americans, but it is hard to understand a continued commitment to a political ideology that has caused so much pain and suffering by the American people.
