The MPN blog says they’re non partisan, but if you read the spin in their posts, it makes you say yeah right! We’re trying to figure out their angle in their latest post. Are they making the argument we would make that the stimulus bill has been a colossal failure and has resulted in waste? Or, are they saying that the unemployment figures being reported could be better if stimulus dollars recipients would complete their paperwork and send it back in a timely fashion to the bureaucrats?
Twenty recipients of federal stimulus funds in Missouri failed to file required reports documenting the use of the money after the last quarter.

If it adds up to 300K for every job I’ll work for one third of that. All these freakin progressives in the federal, state and local governments make me sick with their socialist agendas. The only way to get the country back on track is abolish affirmative action, welfare, food stamps and the other hand outs to people who never wanted to work in the first place.
