    Create a job market. Right now the government is stopping job growth with Obamacare and over regulation

    Bush 26 weeks and Obama 2 years. You show nothing except your hate for Bush.

    Really!? WOW SOAB. That's not right Smarty.

    The deficit grows, the Rich pay a smaller %, the poor receive money, and the middle class gets the squeeze. :bump:

    The answer is for government to cut spending and balance the budget. Wait under Obama there has been no budget for over 1,000 days

    Please explain how putting hundreds of thousands of more workers on the unemployment lines is going to help the economy.

    That seems pretty fair to me, and it makes sense in my opinion.
    No sense in helping people who don't want to help themselves.

    So you would rather the money that is being spent on welfare and food stamps went to directly employing people to work instead??

    Also, how is "Obamacare" stopping job growth?
    What over regulation is stopping job growth?

    No, if you get people working they will not need the entitlements.

    If you get China to have workers' rights so that American workers can compete with Chinese slave labor, then there'd be more people with jobs.

    If we go back to tariffs on imports it will level the playing field.

    I think the best thing to do would be to not let corporations exploit slave labor.

    China is not my concern. Getting this countries economy back on track is. Tariffs and spending cuts could help balance the budget and lower the deficit.

    Yes, that would make this country's economy skyrocket. But obviously most rightists would not be in support of that and would consider it a violation of big-time corporation owners' rights.

    ???

    Wait, do you mean yes? I agree that if you get people working they will not need the entitlements, but,
    do you think it would be better if welfare and food stamp funds were spent on employing people instead?
    It seems like you do, but since you wrote no, its kinda hard to tell.

    Also, how is "Obamacare" stopping job growth?
    What over regulation is stopping job growth?

    Why do you need to use that money. You have a president that has no problem running up the debt for his projects

    Huh???

    Look, I'm just trying to understand your answer on this, because the way you answered it was confusing.

    Do you think it would be better if welfare and or food stamp funds were spent on employing people instead, yes or no?

    uh, I'm against mafia style business, which includes most big-time corporations. Small businesses tend to be the real wealth creators. So no, I'm not anti business. That's absurd. I'm only against mafia style businesses.

    Cutting spending can get money to create jobs. For example what is the billions cut from defense being used for?

    I have posted before how Obama hurts jobs

    State and local government have cut over 500,000 jobs over the past year or so, which has decreased employment.
