By Margaret Bassett

The Senator is getting backlash from Obama cabinet members. Kyl wrote this on July 6. "the president's economic team assured the nation that the unemployment rate wouldn't rise beyond eight percent if Congress passed the "stimulus" measure. The president even proclaimed in an April 29 news conference that the stimulus bill has "already saved or created over 150,000 jobs."

Authors Bio:
Margaret Bassett passed away August 21, 2011. She was a treasured member of the Opednews.com editorial team for four years.

Margaret Bassett--OEN editor--is an 89-year old, currently living in senior housing, with a lifelong interest in political philosophy. Bachelors from State University of Iowa (1944) and Masters from Roosevelt University (1975) help to unravel important requirements for modern communication. Early introduction to computer science (1966) trumps them. It's payback time. She's been "entitled" so long she hopes to find some good coming off the keyboard into the lives of those who come after her.
