The Patriot Post® · 'A Broken Record'

After five years of the Obama “recovery,” unemployment remains relatively stagnant. Jobs are being added to the economy, but far too slowly. So Barack Obama has the answer: more stimulus. That’s right, he has announced another $600 million for “job training” programs. National Review’s Veronique de Rugy highlights the problem, writing, “According to the Government Accountability Office, the federal government spends $18 billion a year on 47 duplicative job training programs across nine federal agencies. But the White House isn’t just adding to this host of repetitive rackets – it’s effectively creating a new program that will duplicate other programs already put in place at the state level.” Even Obama admitted that “we sometimes sound like a broken record” on the economy. He’s right, and somebody needs to stop the record player.
