The manhunt, concluded Wednesday, targeted "aliens with criminal records"
The title of this blog was taken from an article in the La Crosse Tribune. "La Crosse Tribune
What struck me as interesting is that the article seems to forget that anyone who is in the U.S. illegally is a criminal, so the fact that they were looking for aliens with criminal records seems redundant.
We as a society need to realize that those who are in the U.S. illegally, while perhaps nice people as individuals, just cut in line ahead of those who are trying to live in the U.S. legally. We should all be more concerned about helping those who are legally our neighbors rather than those who are criminals.
Is this a little harsh? Perhaps, but it is true.

Good jobs and not so good jobs
If you think about it there are two types of jobs that are being counted as Obama "saved or created" jobs.
They are;
They are;
- Wealth creating
- Wealth absorbing.
Wealth creating jobs are private sector jobs that make things people want to purchase. Wealth absorbing jobs are government jobs that are paid for by taking money in the form of taxes, fees, etc... from the wealth creating side of the equation.
Guess what types of jobs are being created by the Obama administration, for which he is very proud. The wealth absorbing variety.
Unfortunately because the majority of jobs being created are governmental wealth absorbing, it is a net negative to a struggling economy.
This is just another example of high level governmental meddling that is making problems worse and unnecessarily delaying the recovery.

One hand one finger
Today I heard Obama say that he offered an outstretched hand of bipartisanship to the Republicans only to be offered a fist in return. The only thing he left out was that his outstretched had only had one digit extended.
