George W. Bush, Keynesian

I could not help but find this story hilarious. George W. Bush says, because it is politically advantageous, that a huge, bloated highway bill is a good thing because all that government money creates jobs. I don't disagree. But do you think he even sees the inconsistencies? Gee, W, how about funding the National Park Service properly? Don't you think that would create jobs too? How about the EPA? Or creating work programs for young people in the forests? Or funding inner-city programs? Wouldn't all that create jobs? Oh, that's right, doing things like that would create opportunity for people and help to make our society equal. And of course we couldn't have things like that. That would make us liberals.
