As Congress considers a jobs bill, the AFL-CIO says recent polls show the American people’s solid support of government spending money to create jobs and help the jobless. A CNN poll in mid-January showed 80 percent of Americans support government spending on roads and bridges while 83 percent support aid to unemployed workers. The latest CNN poll, taken in mid-January, shows four of five Americans (80 percent) favor government spending on roads and bridges, and 83 percent approve of aid to unemployed workers.

1. Isn't anyone thinking about the welfare queens?

You know, Big Defense, Big BioAg, Big Oil, Big Finance, et al. Wouldn't this potentially lead to less of our tax dollars for the poor and downtrodden multi-national conglomerates?

2. Well, fortunately for the deserving rich, nobody is listening to the opinions

of the great, unwashed American public. What do they know, anyway?
