I-JOBS really means --

I just don't see the JOBS

And the scientific community is united in that fact.

This headline verifies that...

Iowa unemployment rate reaches 23-year high

The February rate edged up to 6.7 percent from 6.6 percent in January.

What's the solution for the Big Lug Nut and the Dummycrats in the Legislature?

Culver gets $150 million more for I-JOBS

That's in addition to the $830 Million this borrowing scam already has us in debt for.









GOOD THINKING!

Throw more money at it, it's obviously done so well up until now.

That's why the BLN is lobbying to get more casino's built, as I-JOBS is funded with existing state gaming revenue and is to be accomplished ALL WITHOUT RAISING TAXES!

However, casino revenues have been down, as of last fall (I Yay Yay).

The Iowa Legislative Services Bureau reports that Iowa casino tax revenue growth has been negative for eight consecutive months.

For the past 12 months, Iowa casino taxes have totaled $287.5 million, which was down 4.1 percent from the same period a year earlier, state officials said.

I love how the Ragister justifies the I-JOBS borrowing scam debt -- That amounts to less than $5 per person per year.

Remember, the last part of I-JOBS is BS.

Getting Better?

Iowa's March unemployment rate has risen again, now matching the worst of the farm crisis, July 1986's 6.8 percent.

Got any I-JOBS?

We're still searchin'!

And the scientific community is united in that fact.

Rosy Scenario wrote a story for the Ragister stating 7,300 jobs have been added.

A somewhat closer look reveals 2,800 were professional and business services jobs, but most of those were through temporary agencies.

2,000 employees were added in government, but again these were mostly temporary census jobs.

The Ragister tries to compare it to the national average of 9.7%, but doesn't mention the lowest unemployment rates are in neighboring states like North Dakota (4%), South Dakota (4.8%) and Nebraska (5%).

Maybe they should have gone into debt like the Big Lug Nut did for Iowa with his borrowing scam and Obama did for the country with the stimulus.
