What happened to those "shovel ready" road and infrastructure projects that Obama lied about all last year?

TrimTabs drills into the Labor Bureau's data for new jobs added in last year, to reveal some unsetting details: "Of the 1.1 million private jobs gained in the last year, 650,000 or 60% are jobs that have absolutely no real wealth creation capacity, nor do they provide any real benefits."
WooHoo....let the good times roll...

Together we thrive...


Well maybe not thrive...

Lower wages doesn't necessarily translate to larger profits. Employee morale may hurt businesses when the business cycle improves, as they'll remember how they were burned during the last slowdown.

We've become a nation of hamburger flippers, as our manufacturing base has crumbled.

Does it pay better than unemployment, while getting you off of societies pocket book?

Thats all the answers that need to be asked.
