MR Boehner, WHERE ARE THE JOBS?

The recession started and companies laid off workers to keep profits up (or from falling as far). Those laid off workers then went out and bought new cars, upgraded their cable services and bought iPhone 4s in droves. Wait, no they didn't. They stopped spending money because they didn't have any.

Instead, what if companies that were still making money, but not as much as before, and companies that were only losing a bit of money but had large cash reserves didn't fire people? Why some people may actually have disposable income. Maybe they wouldn't buy a new car, but maybe they wouldn't lose their house either. Maybe with people still working and earning money, the US economy wouldn't have gone in the shitter. But no, corporate America has a profit margin to maintain, even if it costs them their profit margin....

P.S. as America doesn't conform to international standards regarding unemployment, your unemployment rate is actually much higher compared to other countries.

Well, since the Republicans took over the House this January, the unemployment rate has dropped from 10.6% to 9.2%.

unfortunately the passed no legislation in that time period that the senate passed that was about the economy in any way.

They grandstanded and passed abortion bills and a host of other BS.

Whatever the unemployment rate is, the republicans made no legislation that played ANY part in the rise.

Which, since economic activity resulting from government action tends to lag six to eighteen months behind the action, means that things done about a year ago are having a benefit.

Or, maybe those things hurt us, and the unemployment rate would be 8.0% otherwise.....

Who exactly do you think writes legislation if not the legislators?

People who really believe that Congress can write legislation and give people jobs are pathetic. And people who vote for people who promise to give them a job are also pathetic.

What is really pathetic is certain politicians who were campaigning last year on "jobs, jobs, jobs." What's more pathetic is the voters who believed them. We have members of the House Ways and Means Committee where legislation originates, but they're too busy jerking off and blaming everybody but themselves. Anyone who believes that the "Young Turks" who got elected in November were going to implement job creation are exceedingly naive.

Remember the Republican threat: we want Obama to be a one-term president. Creating new jobs might not allow that to happen. Providing job opportunities is completely different from "giving" jobs. It sounds good if you're on the radio, though.

Heh.

Not only do legislators vote for legislation they haven't read, sometimes they introduce legislation they haven't read.

I'd say that most legislation is written by people trying to put one over on the taxpayers.

Pathetic.
Since when are jobs supposed to be created by bills passed by the House of Representatives?

Your assumption is dead WRONG but let's consider it for a moment to have some truth - then why did the newly elected republican members of congress run on the platform of "creating jobs", especially, the speaker, that's all you could hear out of their lying mouths, WE WILL CREATE JOBS. SO, where the hell are the jobs.

It's simply that the republicans are incapable of GOVERNING, they cannot. They cannot, they cannot. They pretend to govern by attacking social issues. Pathetic at least. Disastrous for the USA.
 
and now they want to strip away medicare, social security, department of education, energy, etc. is that really responsible?
 
Republicans are masters of confusing the issues in voters minds for political gain. Just like they mentioned Saddam Hussein and 9/11 in the same breath, they're running with the idea that deficit was the cause of the financial crisis.

It's okay to run a deficit during an economic downturn. Long term, it's important to keep debt under control, but we're nowhere near the point now where it would cause problems. Instead of railing against spending and the social safety net, the Republicans should be funding the repair of our bridges that are falling apart, and pushing for construction of high-speed rail and better mass transit now that oil prices are back through the roof. But, since they're all in the pockets of the oil companies, I won't hold my breath on that one.

And the gas prices are going through the roof. Do they get blame for that?:wave:

come on cowboy -- you seriously don't believe (or maybe you do) that any republican had anything at all to do with the drop in the unemployment rate. really. if you actually do believe that, give us one, just one, example of what act, what policy, whatever, they have done to improve the jobless rate. well, you know they have done NOTHING. Attacking social issues and taking away medicare from the elderely has nothing to do with creating jobs.

Come cowboy up.
 
Perhaps just the fact that the Republicans re-took the House gave enough sense of relief to those that ACTUALLY hire people and create jobs may explain the drop in unemployment....

Oh goodness no. The Republicans had NOTHING to do with the drop in unemployment rate. That was just a touch of sarcasm.

Since you're somewhat new in these parts, you'll discover I'm on the correct side of politics.

The only good thing Republicans did in the past 25 years was........

....wait....

I can't think of anything.:confused:

Where's the ROTFLMAO smilie..... oh here it is!

^ The ROTFLMAO smilie is more appropriate for thinking that our illustrious Prez had anything to do with creating a job...

Sorry Cowboy, I completely missed your sarcasm. I get so aggravated at the right wing folks who really do nothing but churn up crap instead of lending a good faith hand in governing.

I watch for your posts.
