When Will the New House Republicans Start Working on Creating Jobs?

Push? Hell, a simple job proposal would at least be a start. Instead their biggest legislative achievement has been reading the Constitution, followed by threatening to withhold pay from American soldiers.

 

This amounts to a mere rant--not a serious poll question.

Come back when you can offer a poll in a non-partisan and non-ideological manner--one that is designed to illuminate, rather than to try to score a few cheap, rhetorical points...

 

No. but you could try staying on point.

 

When did Obama work to create jobs?
Never.
And I'm not guessing 'cause it's history I observed.

There is only one party in the US, the corporate party. And they're adept at dividing and conquering us with the illusion of different policies and partisanship.

 

Wrong.
FDR created millions of jobs with his Works Progress Administration (WPA).

The pseudocons want us to forget about FDR 'cause he proved them wrong.

 

Roosevelt’s biggest deficit, in 1936, was “only” 4.4 percent of GDP

The CBO estimates the budget deficit will total $1.6 trillion this year, or 11.2 percent of the GDP, and $1.4 trillion in 2010.

We

can't

afford

it.

 

Agreed. 'Cept that Democrats are the same.

We all need to go Independent and get our own candidates.

 

And Obama is no different than Bush.
He just talks a better game.
Yet he walks the Bush walk.

 

Well, name calling aside you do make an accurate point.
Until people realize that no one in DC is creating jobs, and in fact no one in DC is doing anything for ordinary citizens, it will be hard for the people to unite and make progress.

 

Two people with a brain.
A brain trust!

 

We

can

afford

it

when

the

US

stops

crapping

money

away

on

wars,

and

starts

taxing

the

wealthy.

In other words, when hell freezes over.

 

I hate to break this to you but they already have!

 

I wrote "Republicrats" because there isn't a hair's difference between them. They work cooperatively to shut out any competition and work together to please their corporate sponsors. They are The Party. They are Republicrats.

 

In an earlier generation, the term, "Republicrats" (or "Republocrats"; I have seen it spelled both ways) referred to what is now known as RINOs: i.e. center-left Republicans, who therefore (rather closely) resemble typical Democrats...

 

That's nice but I prefer facts to subjective observation.

That is one hell of a window of error, don't you think?
Two things to consider:
1. The CBO takes the numbers given them and ignore any other factors it would otherwise be logical to consider, such as assuming that the world would have stopped and no one would have done any hiring at all if the stimulus had not happened.
2. Taking a middle number from that estimate (a complete wag from jump street anyway), say 2 million, the cost comes down to something like $500,000 per job. What do you figure the average salary is of each job? What do you figure the revenue collected from each job? Awful dang expensive "stimulus" if you ask me.

 

This country is in such a down spin, that Sarah Palin would be crazy to want any part of the blame.

She is a good desent women, and too intellegent, to want any part of trying to do good for a majority of self minded, very ignorant society.

The dumb outweight the smart in this nation.......PROVEN FACT

That's irrelevant to the issue. How many jobs has the new congress even attempted to create? How many plans have they suggested? How many times have they even said the word "jobs" since the got elected?

 

You misspelled "decent", "intelligent", and "outweigh".

At least your signature is correct.

Burn.

 

Here's another irrelevant detail:

It ain't the federal government's job to create jobs.

 

Sure it is. The federal government is the single largest employer in the country.

 

Yes, we're all well aware of how bloated the government is. Still, employment for employment's sake is nowhere in the Constitution.

 

Well, that makes sense. After all when the Constitution gives congress the right to raise an army to think that would mean employing people is just absurd.

 

As soon as Obama signs their legislation.

 

Never would be good because its not the governments job to create jobs.
