Counting Cars and Calories*

While commuting here in the Metro Washington area, I proclaim the following observations:

There are lots of decals, stickers and license plates supporting universities. Lots of Virginia Tech and Penn State. I do see a random BYU sticker here and there. Today, I saw a University of Maryland-Virgina license plate. I have seen the Notre Dame-Virgina plate several times. I notice lots of really expensive cars. I also see lots of Obama Stickers. I would say that the correlation between the former and later is really low.


Maybe this is one reason:

"Washington, DC – In light of the economic forum House Democrats are holding today and based on new statistics released this morning by the Department of Labor, Ways and Means Ranking Member Dave Camp (R-MI) released a state-by-state table showing 49 states and the District of Columbia have lost jobs since the President signed the stimulus bill into law.
“It is clear from today’s jobs report that stimulus has failed to do what it promised and failed to create jobs for American workers,” said Camp. “Eight months after the President signed the stimulus bill, we are all still asking: where are the jobs? Instead of jobs, the American people got record deficits.”
