My wife volunteers at a local library in the socialist republic of montgomery county. She's only been there a few weeks. At her branch,like all of them, so far she has met 6 middle management people (that make 60-100k) one is in charge of media/advertizing, the freaking building has Library on the front and a couple of signs on the street, what does he do. The other 5 have other useless jobs. They have 3 librarians, job starts at 123,000. About 6-8 counter people, I guess 35-55,000. They have about 30-50 customers a day, more on Sat. The county probably has 30 or more branches. This does not include the admin people in Rockville in the library division. What a waste of money

Many Democrats, too, said they're disappointed with the recovery program so far but, for now at least, are resisting calls for a second package. "I don't think anybody can honestly say that we're satisfied with the results so far of the stimulus," House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D., Md.) said on "Fox News Sunday." But he said it was too soon to push for more. "We certainly want to see how this develops over the next few months." Mr. Biden, in an interview with ABC News's "This Week," said the 9.5% jobless rate is "much too high" and acknowledged that the administration didn't anticipate the severity of the economic problems. "There was a misreading of just how bad an economy we inherited," he said in the interview, which aired Sunday. He and other White House officials say the administration relied on consensus economic figures in January when they were developing the stimulus package. But he said it was premature to consider a second stimulus, saying the $787 billion will be spent over a period of 18 months and would take time to work.
