i can't help but wonder if....

the feds decided to just take all the money they've spent on all these now failed programs, and put it all towards beefing up ss payments-would more retirement age people have retired or could retire, thereby forcing firms to hire, reducing unemployment, etc, etc...and actually having something useful come from all the spending?
perhaps instead of pushing to give money to states to hire teachers (money lasts one whole year), put it where it will make a real change.

and for crying out loud, states who allow public employees to 'retire' and then rehire them a month later, stop doing that! how does that put one unemployed person into a job?? it doesn't!
