Over five thousand years ago, Moses said to the children of Israel " pick up your shovel, mount your asses and camels, and I will lead you to the promised land".
Nearly 75 years ago, Roosevelt said, " Lay down your shovels, sit on your asses, and light up a Camel, this is the promised land".
Now Obama has stolen your shovel, taxed your asses, raised the price of Camels, and mortgaged the promised land.
I was so depressed last night thinking about Health Care Plans, the economy, the wars, lost jobs, Savings, Social Security, retirement funds, etc. . . that I called Lifeline, the suicide help line. I got a call center in Pakistan . I told them I was suicidal. They all got excited and asked if I could drive a truck...

Jeezus, nathan, that one is at least 40 years old. C,mon, you can do better than that.
You matter. Unless you multiply yourself by c squared. Then you energy.

Re: The Promised Land
Yeah I caught that one too, and don't forget about all the private sector jobs and growth created as a result of those projects. But he could also be referring to the future generations existing on the welfare state in which case LBJ should have been included.OSBF wrote:guess he sort of forgot about the part where roosevelt put millions of americans to work, hard backbreaking physical labor, with the TVA and in CCC camps
