George Mason University economist Donald Boudreaux read that and offered his own translations: "Obama Details Effort to Increase Corporate Welfare Over Five Years."

Today House Republicans took an important step toward showing the American people we’re serious about reform by adopting an immediate, unilateral ban on all earmarks.

  133. President Obama’s Phony Pivots to “Jobs” = Job-Killing Gov’t Takeover Of Health Care

    → Boehner RSS Articles | 8 Mar 2010 | 10:00 pm MST

    For months now, as Americans continue to ask ‘where are the jobs?,’ the Obama Administration has repeatedly promised to ‘pivot’ to jobs and the economy only to redouble its efforts to force a job-killing government takeover of health care through Congress. This whole jobs ‘pivot’ is a prime example of how out-of-touch Washington Democrats’ are failing to address Americans’ highest priority: putting people back to work. This is not merely a matter of semantics. President Obama himself rejected a direct plea from a Democratic Senator to focus on jobs in favor of continuing his crusade for an unpopular, unaffordable government takeover of health care. And during his health care speech yesterday, the President used the word ‘jobs’ twice. It was bad enough that the jobs crisis became a ‘pivot’ point for this Administration – now it’s just an afterthought altogether. House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) released the following chronicle of the Obama Administration’s jobs ‘pivot,’ and noted the toll this fallacy is taking on families and small businesses:
