But the celebration and reunification came at a hefty price, said one German Translation worker. Germany endured an 8-year recession. But during the very long and painful recession, the city of Berlin undertook a major transformation.

Author: Ernie FitzpatrickAncient Hebraic wisdom has told us that there are SEASONS of life. A time to give birth, time to die; a time to plant and a time to uproot what is planted. A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to tear down, and a time to build up. A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance- and so forth. In other words, TIMES CHANGE! It's time for us to AWAKEN! America is headed down a road to MASSIVE CHANGES- and many aren't good! Capitalism has served America well. Capitalism is not perfect- what is? However, in our success (the first sign of failure is success), we have become lazy, pampered, and worst of all feeling that we're ENTITLED to more than we are. Is everyone entitled to an equal life, equal life style, or healthcare for ALL? Such thinking isn't real. Add to the thinking pot the fact the reality that we're pursuing insane economic policies.

Statistics can be tricky. It all depends on who is doing the math and for what purpose. The latest report on how many jobs can be attributed to the workings of the stimulus package is a perfect case in point. The Obama Administration came out at the end of October with the announcement that the stimulus package has created 650,000 jobs.To give the government credit, it didn't just pull that number out of a hat. The Recovery, Accountability, and Transparency Board (RATB) is an independent entity that has tracked the money being spent for the Recovery Act. Every dollar being spent can be seen in an array of charts and information on the Recovery.gov website. According to the White House website, $340 billion of the stimulus money has been committed to infrastructure projects, small business loans, unemployment benefits, state fiscal relief, tax cuts and etc. The administration says all this spending has saved or created one million jobs. The catch is that not all the entities that have received government funds are required to report job information to the RATB. The jobs saved claim can be a particularly tricky one to pin down. Much of those numbers are attributed to...more
