$227,000 in yearly compensation? 53 consecutive days off? This is insanity.

Getting one of these jobs is like winning the lottery for life, every penny of it on the taxpayers' back.

We have to stop this fiscal malfeasance or our children will spend their adult lives paying for this and our state will never recover economically.

It is flat out wrong to hand people anything that they have not earned, besides opportunity.

Any parent can and will tell you this.

Or you might drive through many American inner cities 50 years after the so-called "Great Society" destroyed millions of Black American families. Crime, drugs, over a 75% illegitimacy rate. That's what liberals call "help".

Fifty years ago, poor people were poor, but decent, hard working and respectable Fifty years of handouts later and poor people are without ambition or a sense of self-determination. We have families in which no member has held a job for three generations.

The typical American defined as poor by the government has a car, air conditioning, a refrigerator a stove, a clothes washer and dryer, and a microwave. He had two color televisions, cable or satellite TV reception, a VCR or DVD player, and a stereo. He is able to obtain medical care. His home is in good repair and is not overcrowded. By his own report, his family was not hungry and he had sufficient funds in the past year to meet his family's essential needs. While this individual's life is not opulent, it is equally far from the popular images of dire poverty conveyed by the press, liberal activists, and politicians.

The Democrats in Congress, led by Nevada's own Harry Reid, passed Obamacare which is a massive new entitlement that we cannot afford.

Hiding spending is not the same as reducing spending.

I love this country and I know we are broke. And sensible people stop spending when they run out of money.

Mr. Obama is currently borrowing 41 cents of every dollar he is spending. That is beyond fiscal irresponsibility, that is insanity.

I would not vote for another Democrat if his name were Ronald Reagan. No more Democrats! (They have controlled Congress, i.e. spending, for 40 of the last 50 years, and look at us.)

God help this family. They have the misfortune to be white. Under law, Mr. Brower must be last in line for any job that any person of any other ethnicity applies for. It is the law.

Harry Reid and the other Democrats made it the law. I am not referring to Black Americans. I am referring to anyone who is non-white. If you are from India, Mexico, Thailand, the Philippines, anywhere at all, you have priority for jobs and for college admissions.

For an excellent article written by Democratic Senator Jim Webb from Virgina, in which he explains exactly when and where this self-destructive and inexcusably unfair (not to mention totally illogical) legislation was first put into place and how it has so damaged American males who happen to be white see this from yesterday's WSJ:

While the rest of us go to work and trust our Congress to serve and protect us, they have been destroying this country and the people in it.

Please, I will take Sharon Angle in a heartbeat over these anti-American leftists who put their vote buying strategies ahead of America and Americans. And believe me, Harry Reid will pass Amnesty if re-elected. Forget about protecting America's borders. Reid, Pelosi and Obama want those Hispanic votes and the rest of us can go hang for all they care.

Yesterday, Reid was out telling his progressive (aka Marxist) supporters that, never fear, Obamacare will have a "public option", i.e. the same failed socialist system that is bankrupting country's all over Europe.

And I will never forget how Harry Reid stood up there, looked us straight in the eye, and lied right to our faces. Yeah, Harry, you were standing "shoulder to shoulder" with Americans as you rammed through the Frankenstein cobbled together hugely opposed by us, trillion+ dollar unread monstrosity, Obamacare, that will adversely affect all Americans (except for you and your other elitist multimillionaire pals).

Despite all the money that Reid has used to smear Angle, the reality is that Sharon Angle has more common sense than the leftist, Harry Reid will ever have. She will not allow our tax dollars to be used to fight Arizona's sensible and long overdue immigration law. She would never have voted for the catastrophic bankrupting Obamacare. And she will defend our borders and our jobs. And not allow Obama to hand our money and our jobs to illegal aliens.
