Kentucky’s New Unemployment Claims Highest in Country
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.”

Obama Signs American Recovery and Reinvestment Act Into Law
Tuesday, February 17 by Ben Roberts.
President Barack Obama today signed into law the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, an economic stimulus aimed at creating and saving millions of American jobs and restoring the ailing economy. In an email to supporters, Obama said that the $789 billion plan “will create or save 3.5 million jobs, provide tax cuts for working and middle-class families, and invest in health care and clean energy.”
In Kentucky, the stimulus plan will create or save an estimated 48,000 jobs, including 8,200 jobs in Kentucky’s 2nd Congressional District alone. Brett Guthrie, the Republican who is supposed to represent the 2nd District, voted against the plan. Luckily in 2010, residents of Bullitt County will have an opportunity to change Brett Guthrie’s mind by giving him a close-up view of the unemployment line.
Americans interested in how the stimulus money is being spent can view information, make comments, and ask questions at www.recovery.gov.
