Where are the spreadsheets? When President Obama had a stimulus program in 2009 he had it on The Treasurer's Website. You could see all the details. They should have Munichin to go before Maxine Walter's House Finance Committee.

I'm so happy that you're working on keeping people on the payroll but then what about the ones that have already been removed? My daughter's boyfriend was fired with never having a reprimand ever and working three people's jobs over a stupid tool that he handed back to him and said hey you know what if it's going to be that big of a deal I'm sorry He took it to break with him Oh no. He saw it on the line He knew as his tool that somebody had must have picked it up so he had it with him on break and they called him a thief and fired him. How about all them He can't apply for unemployment because he's a thief Even though he's never been reprimanded for anything and the the thing that happened was so stupid and small but they were looking for an out. So what are we going to do for those people The one stuck in between? Oh yeah and he's a Choctaw Indian.
