hookers are in the house
…but SHOULDN’T be in the Stimulus Package. A
whopping $1.5 MIL for a “Prostitute Shelter” which
creates “0″ net new jobs is no way to pass an
economic bill seeking bi-partisan support.
HireHeels heartily agrees that social programs
focused on getting vulnerable women “off the street”
need to exist and be funded, but, should be pushed
in future social spending bills.
President Obama, prove you are more than a
brilliant branding campaign! Otherwise you risk
becoming same ole, same ole — a new brand attribute
already flooding the blogosphere and many news
outlets. The country is in crisis. Reasonable people
from all parties are willing to support your
administration, IF it delivers actual change by
sweeping K Street, Wall Street and any other public
thoroughfare which puts its greedy tar on this bill!
One more thing: make sure those J-O-B’s are
equally weighted toward women. Last I checked,
my galpals weren’t lining up to build ‘steel’ bridges
but maybe a few ‘virtual ones’ (though they do pack a
mean Home Depot toolkit under their sink).
