President Obama's Rubber Room Job Economy

Post by Bill Call »

Obama's economic plan seems designed to grow the public sector and eviserate the private sector. Perhaps one day instead of real jobs millions of Americans will work in the Rubber Room, courtesy of the federal government:

It's going to be so cool.

Jokes that once applied to the old Soviet economy will apply to the new American economy:

"The system is perfectly balanced. We pretend to work and they pretend to pay us".

Or, the real life story of the American tourist who visited Russia during the last days of the Soviet Union. While traveling though the country side he saw two men in a field sitting on stools in the middle of a field. A cow was chewing his cud just a few feet from the men. When he asked the men what they were doing they answered, "Working".

"What is your job", asked the tourist. "To watch the cow." they answered.

Welcome to the Obamanation.

Good morning Bill,

The Rubber Room Teachers have nothing to do with the Obama administration, or the Federal Government in general. It is New York City's own problem if they can't get their arbitration process straight. They say some of the teachers are in the rubber room for hitting students. Any good conservative knows that sometimes students deserve to be hit.
