The  state&amp;rsquo;s senior senator, Chuck Schumer, and a lot of other politicos also jumped  on the &amp;ldquo;not in our city&amp;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&amp;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><b>*Man, those new  jobs are <i>expensive<\/i>.<\/b> Remember when  Barrack Obama promised that if Congress approved his $800 billion &amp;ldquo;stimulus&amp;rdquo;  package, unemployment wouldn&amp;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&amp;rsquo;ve stopped looking for work and down-sized  temps aren&amp;rsquo;t counted among the unemployed, the real number is undoubtedly much  higher. Still, our President claims the stimulus has &amp;ldquo;saved or created&amp;rdquo; 2  million jobs. Let&amp;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><b>*Our &amp;ldquo;too little,  too late&amp;rdquo; State Department.<\/b> 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.
