Census Jobs Are Jobs?

[From article]

"Last week I got a call from Naomi Cohn, an unemployed lawyer from Brooklyn, who decided to apply for a temporary job as an $18.75 an hour enumerator with the Census.

As she told me -- and later wrote in the Sunday Post on May 9 -- she succeeded. But after three days of paid training, she was only called for 10 hours of work over two days. And nothing since. No explanation.[. . .]

Europe is planning to spend $1 trillion to bail out Greece and any other country that falters financially. But where is the money coming from?

Nobody seems to know. Or care.

But it will be a big problem if, like the Federal Reserve did, the $955 billion comes from new currency produced by an overtime run of the printing presses by the European Central Bank. This is innocently called "quantitative easing" but in the olden days it was known as the beginning of rampant inflation.
