The  state&rsquo;s senior senator, Chuck Schumer, and a lot of other politicos also jumped  on the &ldquo;not in our city&rdquo; bandwagon. That was enough to convince the Obama  Administration to pull the plug on a really bad idea. Officials are now  scrambling to come up with a new plan. Here&rsquo;s one: Let the military handle it. This  should never have been moved to a civilian court in the first place.<\/p>\n<p><strong>*Man, those new  jobs are <em>expensive<\/em>.<\/strong> Remember when  Barrack Obama promised that if Congress approved his $800 billion &ldquo;stimulus&rdquo;  package, unemployment wouldn&rsquo;t go above 8 percent? Well, to quote an old  country song, he got the gold mine and we got the shaft. Unemployment is now a <u>minimum<\/u> of 10 percent. Since people who&rsquo;ve stopped looking for work and down-sized  temps aren&rsquo;t counted among the unemployed, the real number is undoubtedly much  higher. Still, our President claims the stimulus has &ldquo;saved or created&rdquo; 2  million jobs. Let&rsquo;s see, that means each new job cost us taxpayers about  $400,000 each. Want to guess how long it will take each new worker to pay that  much in taxes?<\/p>\n<p><strong>*Our &ldquo;too little,  too late&rdquo; State Department.<\/strong> You may have missed the news that back in January the  State Department revoked the visa of Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the Nigerian  wanna-be bomber who tried to bring down a Northwest Airlines flight over  Detroit on Christmas Day.
