But what do we hear? Silence. What are people going to do -- starve in the streets? There are no JOBS! There has been no JOBS bill! There has no attempt to create JOBS! They could kill two birds with one stone just by putting some resources toward our crumbling infrastructure. But no, just a lot of bullshit about people being lazy and wanting to live high on the hog with their measly unemployment check. They used to say that there is no greater sin than hardness of heart. But apparently not anymore.
