Obama's "stimulus" is doing quite the bang up job creating jobs, isn't it?

In my time, we knew that jobs were created by small businesses and that the best way to stimulate small business growth was with tax cuts and deregulation — the government needs to get out of the way of the American entrepreneur. Instead, all we see is a radical increase in the tax burden (which itself is being borne by a smaller percentage of tax paying citizens) and the government is doing everything it can to strangle innovation and the American way with overregulation and a massive expansion of government control.
