They may not be using

foreign labor for the jobs Obama wants to create but they most certainly will not be using American materials to do it.  so how does that really help us?  There was a mention about buying hybrid vehicles for the government to set a good example and to help stimulate the economy....who is to say they will buy American hybrid cars.  Even if they buy the stupid Toyota Prius.....the majority of that money is still going out of our country.  It may create jobs but the majority of the money is stimulating another country.  This is the problem.  We get too much crap from other countries.  It is cheaper for companies to hire workers outside of the USA.  Why doesn't our government change it to where it is cheaper to hire Americans or tax them for using foreign laborers.  This is part of the problem. 

Once again, I do not see where this spending spree will help us.  What can we really buy in America that is made in America?  We go to Wal-mart and we are supporting friggin China.  People who don't buy American made cars are hurting thousands of Americans ....and please spare me the crap about American cars not being made in America as I know for a fact that Chevy's have it posted on their vehicles how much of that vehicle was actually manufactured in the US so you can actually see how much of it was made in the US. 

We have to change a lot of things to get this country going again and I just don't think this package alone can do it.  There are going to have to be some incentives to hiring Americans or taxes when hiring foreign laborers or huge fines for hiring illegals.  There is just so much more that needs to be done and they aren't even looking at that.
