pffft. people are losing their jobs, they need work. So what is the difference? Well, according to Steele, it's that the "work" created by the stimulus will be under contract, meaning one day it will run out. Are you fucking kidding me? Most government contract work lasts for years.

If you don't know the difference, you really are naive.
A JOB is where you hire on at $ 40K with a company that NEEDS you to help provide a marketable product. IF you do a good job, you become an asset to the company and get annual raises for many years and eventually rise to management.

Government WORK is where a friend or relative of someone in government is given $500K per year to do some make-work study for two years and gets an allowance of $80K per year to hire a couple of drones to push paper for two years. NO actual purpose, no possibility of advancement, and no future. Total $1,160,000 spent, results - zip, but not expensive enough to be investigated.
