Well people have to do something just to keep those idle hands busy. It's such a shame the study didn't go far enough and ask, what else do you smoke?

I'll bet anything marijuana smoking is on the increase also. Face it, with jobs being the number one issue, people will seek out habits, and vices because they are a little bit under stress. The same holds true with alcohol consumption. During bad time's, people seek relief, or anything to escape the reality of the moment. For some, it keeps them sane. For others, they just give up, and wish to remain under the influence of something.

If there is another round of "stimulus", those funds need, and should go directly to job creation. All this talk about a "new green economy" must bear fruit. In other words; fix the streets and highways, use those abandoned factories to begin the manufacturing of wind, solar, and any other "green" components needed to put people back too work. After all, Wall Street got its "bailout", now it's the "real people's" turn. If you can help them, you sure as hell better help us on the front-lines.

And a final note to the republican party. You better get on board and come up with some solutions, besides saying "No" all the time. "Just say No" didn't work on your so-called drug war, and it sure as hell isn't going to work when it comes to creating jobs. And don't give me that bull on building more "Nuclear Power Plants". How many high school kids are out there, that can't get into college have a degree in nuclear physics? None you douche-bags. For those kids to become successful, they need those good old "nose-to-the-grindstone" jobs that involve infrastructure repair, and maintenance. Give those idle hands something else to do besides smoke.
