Video: A simple solution to create hundreds of thousands of jobs (not costing $4,851,904.09 per Obama “green job”)

Via Tina Korbe, so simple even a caveman can get it, but not a liberal (or perhaps they get it but won't do it anyway):

As for the cost per Obama "green job" in the headline, via Mark Steyn: ‘Pass This Jobs Bill!’

On Thursday night, the president told a Democratic fundraiser in Washington that the Pass My Jobs Bill bill would create 1.9 million new jobs. What kind of jobs are created by this kind of magical thinking? Well, they’re “green jobs” — and, if we know anything about “green jobs,” it’s that they take a lot of green. German taxpayers subsidize “green jobs” in their wind-power industry to the tune of a quarter of a million dollars per worker per year: $250,000 per “green job” would pay for a lot of real jobs, even in the European Union. Last year, it was revealed that the Spanish government paid $800,000 for every “green job” on a solar-panel assembly line. I had assumed carelessly that this must be a world record in terms of taxpayer subsidy per fraudulent “green job.” But it turns out those cheapskate Spaniards with their lousy nickel-and-dime “green jobs” subsidy just weren’t thinking big. The Obama administration’s $38.6 billion “clean technology” program was supposed to “create or save” 65,000 jobs. Half the money has been spent — $17.2 billion — and we have 3,545 jobs to show for it. That works out to an impressive $4,851,904.09 per “green job.” A world record! Take that, you loser Spaniards! U.S.A.! U.S.A.!

So, based on previous form, Obama’s prediction of 1.9 million new jobs will result in the creation of 92,000 new jobs, mostly in the Federal Department of Green Jobs Grant Applications.

Ouch. Read the rest.

Video Essay: Life in an Oil Field 'Man Camp'

Temporary villages known as "man camps" are popping up in the North Dakota prairie. At a time when no one can seem to find a job in the Obama economy, man camps house literally hordes of workers who are flocking there for a modern-day black gold rush: 

Just don't tell Obama. If he knew he would immediately spread the misery around via regulations that would end these camps and the jobs that come with them.

Mindless drones, hard at work:

Via Tina Korbe, who had this observation:

Did you know “companies like oil companies require sociopaths to be at their head”? I sure didn’t.

My favorite moment comes at about 01:28 when Jamie Weinstein almost snorts at a protester who reflexively says, “Sure,” in response to the question, “Is there any way Dick Cheney and Halliburton are to blame?” Another woman perceptively says Bush is behind whatever problems the pipeline might cause because “he’s a Texan.”

This passes for logic in liberal circles?

Can you imagine any government school showing this to the kids, or anything like it, in this day and age?:
