Reaching across the isle

In our continuing efforts to help congress find a middle ground on many important topics I wanted to offer a jobs program using Trickle down economics. Since I have been told that it is the rich who employ most of us (which is not true but conservatives believe it to be true so that's really all that matters) however private industry is not hiring right now we should put a jobs bill together that seeks to employ around 1 million people for work in the public sector and use the extra money that the rich are making from all of the back door deals that make them very rich while keeping the rest of us in the middle class. All you need to do is find out how much money you would need to employ a million people and tax the top 5% accordingly - and there you have it, Trickle Down at work. Easy as pie.
