So we should waste hundreds of billions of dollars when we don't need it, or can obtain similar items / services for much cheaper?
They need to cut their damn prices, or we should buy our goods / services from someone else. I thought Republicans liked the free market!

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I've heard that stimulus doesn't actually create hardly any jobs. Obama even admitted that his past stimulus projects were failures. This isn't the old days anymore, today you only see a handful of construction workers working on a project, in the old days you could very well see over a hundred.
Despicable human being if you ask me.
Plus, he lied about how much he needed to increase Pizza prices to offset the costs with health insurance (Forbes did an article about it).
Laying off people and reducing hours to save FIVE cents per pizza? Seriously, wouldn't it have been much more just to the employees to just keep them as they were, get the health insurance and raise pizza prices by said 5 cents? It would even be a good PR move, imo. Who would mind paying a nickel more if you know it'd help all those employees keep their jobs and insurance?
You need a supermajority to shut down a filibuster (something else, along with Citizens United, that I hope gets a serious overhaul in the coming term, because Republicans abused the hell out of it during the last one). Account for the time wasted before Al Franken was finally allowed to take office, then Ted Kennedy's death, and we're looking at a window of... what was it, a month?
Hell if Schannter had said "Hey, we want to treat our employees well, but it's going to cost a little bit more." And then said he was raising pizza prices by a dollar, he would have gotten MORE business and made MORE profit. But these incredibly wealthy people, they don't live in the same world the rest of us do.
Human progress isn't measured by industry. It's measured by the value you place on a life.
Just, be kind.
Same here, next stop is to get this guy (Russ Feingold) back in the public sphere.
