    Don't feel bad. At least you learned to quit while you were behind.

    how about getting your ass off the welfare/unemployment couch and hit the want ads,hand out resumes,and filling out applications,even if its flipping burgers and scrubbing toilets,or washing dishes instead of depending on the Government to find one for you.And if youre waiting for Boehner and Co. to post a list of "Jobs We Have Created,Apply Now!" on their websites,youre going to be very very disappointed.Get out there and find one!If you fail,get up early the next morning,and look again and again and again instead of Congress magically handing you one.

    People on welfare don't have initiative... that is the problem.

    You would think with Obama doing amazing things like Killing Bin Laden. The GOP would come out say they would do something . . . like at least look into jobs. But it looks like they are only concerned with tax cuts for the rich and subsidies for oil companies.

    So, how did that grassy, rootsy, tea party thing work out fo' ya?

    Jobs will be created when President Obama and the left-wing of the Democrats are gone and have quit destoying jobs and attacking business. The National Union Support Board attacking Boeing is a good example of what President Obama and the socialists are doing.

    BS!!! Jobs will be created when the good paying jobs that were removed from our economic structure return so "people" have money to spend again on products and services. People with no money means no jobs, period.
     
     
    That is the only way jobs are created, when people have money to spend. That determines everything, how many products are needed, how many people it will take to meet the supply, how many people are needed to service the products, etc...
     
     
    What we have now is a nice little catch 22 were a small minority thinks they can cheat the system and we will still be capable of surviving, a shell game, a con! Tax breaks will not create jobs, if people do not have the money to buy products/services. It's really that simple.

    Rich and wealthy people do not spend money they hoard it, accumulate it, and make more money from it.

    Those that make under 100K per year are the ones that spend it and go into debt.

    As far as Republicans creating jobs. That is not going to happen. Only jobs they create are opportunity for their friends and family to work in the Government which they try to dissolve with their theology and narrow backwards thinking.

    If the federal government does not regulate "Big business", the Big business you support will continue to take advantage of those that support deregulation. Most don’t even know they are supporting a movement that is screwing them over. The banking and real estate industry has proven that.

    A lot of people don't have motivation. But we can take comfort in knowing, they will spend every penny they have. And who benefits in the long run? Taxpayers pay to the bureaucracy that pays the poor, and the poor pay the stores for goods and services, and the Corporations (Big Business and Small Business) make the money.

    In Corporate welfare, the taxpayers pay the corporations (Banks) directly, and the corporations cover their debt and pay themselves money which they do not spend but keep to make more money.

    Don't you hoard money? You should, you know. Everybody should hoard 6-8 months' pay for an emergency fund. Once you have your liquid hoardings, you can continue to live within your means, accumulate a little more, and invest it in mutual funds to make more money from it. Maybe open a ROTH IRA to hoard for retirement. Don't that 100K mark as an excuse to fail to prepare for the future.

    I suppose, partisan, that you would prefer to see government swell even larger and provide jobs for everyone. Take off your mule blinders. You're missing half the abuse.

    The banking & real estate crashes weren't due to deregulation, but wrong regulation. The gov't didn't get out of the way and allow what happened; they paved the way with legislation and facilitated what happened. Regulation designed to keep honest people honest is vital and necessary. We need to regulate gov't officials to make sure they don't regulate beyond that.

    Squeegeeing off all the sarcasm, I agree with you. I'm not sure what your point is, though. Do you have an alternative? If you increase the welfare check to an amount above what people need to live, in the hope that they'll hoard and accumulate, you'll just see increase spending, which will end up in the eeeeeevil corporate pockets.

    Why do you blame the property as if it were a sentient being? It's like blaming guns for crime or SUVs for accidents.

    Good! It's not the governments job! How about this...how about you do what is required to pull us out of this recession? GO CREATE SOME JOBS YOURSELF! Or, are the business taxes and regulations to much for you? Yeah, I thought so.

    I don’t know where you get the idea I’m blaming poverty for everything. Nor do I understand what guns have to do with anything. Most things are not in black or white.

    Not Poverty. Property.
    You blame corporations when corporations are only property of people.

    Corporations are property. Identify the real problem.

    Property doesn't have rights, but the USSC says corporations do. So even though you make a viable point, your reality doesn’t exist.
     
     
     
     
    What part of government corruption (two party system) financed by mega corporations (cronyism) don't you get??

    Ironically, Republicans have been working at destroying jobs. I believe 24k public sector jobs have been eliminated in April.

    Giving property the rights/status of people gives additional rights to the owner(s) of that property. That's not such a big deal until it comes to things like campaign contributions and other modes of purchasing legislators.

    Really?

    Your avatar sure is a nice vehicle the Government commissioned. I wonder how many jobs the government created in ordering it?

    In January when they get a super majority in the Senate too. Even Obama won't be able to impede progress.

    So you're for expanding the military to increase job growth? I spose we could attack another country to justify it then?

    You're arguing with yourself again.
