Article 1, Section 9, Constitution of the United States

If this is the law of the land...why in a republic (little r) and as republicans, do we allow mere POLITICIANS to the right to use a "title of office" for the rest of their lives as if it were de facto a patent of nobility. Because, as republicans, this should NOT be the case...just saying...

Obama To Invest $2 Billion on 5,000 Energy Jobs

In the vein of the Spanish "green jobs" boondoggle wherein that government spent roughly $800,000.00 on subsidizing "green jobs", the Obama Administration will invest $2,000,000,000.00 on a "green jobs" program here.  That's a much better deal than the Spanish got, and runs  about $392,000.00 per job here.  Unfortunately, many of those jobs will be temporary...
In the short term, construction will create approximately 1,600 [temporary] jobs.
That's not terribly good investment
