The new State job numbers confirm that 47 States are suffering since the so-called stimulus bill passed while D.C. bureaucrats are benefiting from increasing jobs. The Politico reported on such a discrepancy in an article titled, ``Reality gap: U.S. struggles, D.C. booms.'' The article says, ``America is struggling with a sputtering economy and high unemployment, but times are booming for Washington's governing class. ``The massive expansion of government under President Barack Obama has basically guaranteed a robust job market for policy professionals, regulators and contractors for years to come. The housing market, boosted by the large number of high-income earners in the area, many working in politics and government, is easily outpacing the markets in most of the country.'' The American people want Congress to focus on small business job growth instead of spending more of the people's money to create more government jobs. Americans understand TEA, Taxed Enough Already. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
