What our economy needs is direct job creation by the government and mortgage-debt relief for stressed consumers.

Well, yes of course---clearly we need more of the twin poisons that put the United States in financial distress and made it worse since Obama assumed the presidency.

What it very much does not need is a transfer of billions of dollars to corporations that have no intention of hiring anyone except more lobbyists. 

It is money already earned by the corporations.  Only our punative and outlandishly high corporate tax rate impedes the repatriation of the money and utilization to spur growth and employment in our own economy.  Obama is very familiar with lobbyists---they are part of his administration---but it is the union advocates lobbying him for more unaffordable pay and benefits that command his utmost loyalty.  He just doesn't call them "lobbyists."
