Silly Democrats. Growing government doesn't solve economic problems.

The $814 Billion Democrat Stimulus plan was supposed to create jobs, jobs, jobs and keep our unemployment rate under 8%. Instead, the money found it's way to Democrat cronies, including the Unions, who will always work to support more Democrats, and unemployment has surged to 10%. In Nevada, home of Harry Reid, unemployment is 15%. And growing. 

Unions are failing the Democrats. The far-left NYT doesn't think the rank and file of the Unions are as staunch as their leadership. Despite spending millions more than the Chamber of Commerce, their efforts aren't producing the expected results this cycle...

The giant union of government workers, the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees is promising to spend a record $66 million this year on get-out-the-vote efforts, voter education and political advertisements. That includes $16 million that the union recently took out of an emergency fund, and it comes on top of $21 million it spent last year, mainly on state and local races. The union says it has spent $17 million on broadcast advertisements so far this year.

Reflecting a growing dispute between unions and the Chamber of Commerce, the public employees’ union is arguing that its campaign spending this year is less than the Chamber’s $75 million, even though the union has spent $87 million over the two-year election cycle.

One thing you can be sure of, bank your unemployment check on, you Union members: Democrats ALWAYS want more Government. Businesses who pay your bloated salaries don't like Democrats, and won't hire when Democrats are in control. How's that Democrat plan working out for you, Union out-of-worker ?

John Thune (R-SD), in a hard-hitting GOP Weekly Address, speaks to Americans who will listen.

"Government cannot be openly hostile to American businesses, and expect them to grow and create jobs."

Where have I heard that before? And just who are these people in businesses who are thwarting the will of the 'President of the Grand Speechifying and the Twitching Legs' Barack Obama?

John Galt, maybe ?
