I was skeptical when our leftist rulers promised to create jobs by imposing suffocating regulations on businesses and flushing $trillions of dollars down welfare programs, crony capitalism bailouts, industry nationalization, and ludicrous pork projects. But it turns out that Obamanomics has produced some job opportunities after all.

Following a link from the Recovery Act Opportunities page at Recovery.com, we find that the Porkulus Package has produced a staggering 63 job openings.

Why, that's probably a whole government job for every 100,000 jobs that will be destroyed as the taxes Obama's spree will necessitate force businesses to shrivel up and die. Thanks, Big Government!

Rule by moonbats has produced even more job opportunities for those with politically favored skin tones. In New York:

During the first five months of this year, with the Senate under the control of its first African-American majority leader, Smith, top Democrats bemoaned the lack of minority Senate staffers.

But instead of trying to recruit new hires, they fired nearly 200 almost exclusively white workers and replaced them with a large number of minority employees, many of whom were seen by their fellow workers to be unskilled at their new jobs.

The move produced severe racial tensions, made worse by the fact that, as a high-level Democratic staffer confided, "We've been told to only hire minorities.''

Maybe our rulers are testing us, to see just what it would take to make us rebel.
