Stuck in a Ditch… Obama Says We Need to Spend More Money & We’ve Got To Live Within Our Means…Huh?

Can the adults please have the keys back now?

After another dismal job’s report Barack Obama told the American people today that we need to spend billions more and we’ve got to start living within our means.
Come again?
President Obama’s remarks from the Rose Garden this morning:

Today’s job report confirms what most Americans already know: We still have a long way to go and a lot of work to do to give people the security and opportunity that they deserve…

…And over the past few months, the economy has experienced some tough headwinds — from natural disasters, to spikes in gas prices, to state and local budget cuts that have cost tens of thousands of cops and firefighters and teachers their jobs. The problems in Greece and in Europe, along with uncertainty over whether the debt limit here in the United States will be raised, have also made businesses hesitant to invest more aggressively…

…There are a few things that we can and should do, right now, to redouble our efforts on behalf of the American people.

Let me give you some examples. Right now, there are over a million construction workers out of work after the housing boom went bust, just as a lot of America needs rebuilding. We connect the two by investing in rebuilding our roads and our bridges and our railways and our infrastructure. And we could put back to work right now some of those construction workers that lost their jobs when the housing market went bust…

…Also to put our economy on a stronger and sounder footing for the future, we’ve got to rein in our deficits and get the government to live within its means, while still making the investments that help put people to work right now and make us more competitive in the future.

He’s so smart.
