Same thing in Australia Cal..Our PM recently anounced (yesterday) that he has 'created' thousands of 'Green Jobs'...Just forgot to mention, they were all there before...Only difference being...You used to receive unemployment payments...NOW you have to work for them!...Mindlessly, needlessly and for no reason other than 'WE' can now announce a lower unemployment stastistic than previously...When is a joke not a joke?

Great post!...A sad sign of our warped times? :-)

Now let us see. Which one is this? is he the one who was for forced abortions? Is he the one for Population control? Does he work with cars? Now which CZAR is he? I know he's the one with a green hat. OK. NOW I KNOW. GREEN JOBS. OH THAT IS AN EASY ANSWER. YOU SEE IT GOES THIS WAY I THINK. They passed a law supposedly to give ALL people 2 years of unemployment if they lose the jobs due to the phasing in , or jobs that have to do with green/energy.So you see. If they give us those jobs and you lose them they will have to pay you for 2 years.Afraid to make changes you may wind up on the unemployment line . "FREE FOR 2 YEAR LINE"
