Thursday, February 19 by Ben Roberts.

As Kentucky’s Republican Senators and Congressmen were voting against a stimulus package that will bring millions of dollars and thousands of jobs to Bullitt County and surrounding areas, Kentucky was posting the highest new unemployment claims in the country last week.  Nationwide, over 6.5 million people have lost their jobs due to failed Republican economic policies.  Kentucky was hard-hit in mining, manufacturing, and trade industries.

Republicans have criticized Democratic efforts for economic recovery, preferring instead to try tax cuts for rich people – bringing to mind the famous Einstein quote:  “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”
