Republicans & McCain Lies to the American People About “Jobs”

[YankeeLeft7x]

The GOP have no plan for more or new "jobs" here in America. The GOP are the servants of the Global Capitalist Class of high profits, low wages, and continued outsourcing.

Anyone who actually believes that America is going to get back on track with these Republicans needs to seek mental health treatment immediately. The GOP are masters of lyiing and deceit. Mr. McCain was not much of a great liar in 2008 but certainly expressed the truth about how deficient the GOP is when it comes to creating or retaining jobs here in America.

A Trip Down Memory Lane with McCain and his "Straight-Talk Express" which demonstrates that the GOP have no plans to restore any meaningful job creation program in America. Here it is folks:

The Boston Globe

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (Reuters) - Republican presidential candidate John McCain told an economically ailing Ohio city on Tuesday that lost steel jobs are not coming back but with proper training, workers can rebound just like his once-dead campaign….."I can't tell you that these jobs are ever coming back to this magnificent part of the country," McCain said at Youngstown State University. "But I will commit to giving these workers a second chance. They need it, they deserve it."….McCain came to Ohio, a key battleground state that is important to both parties in November's presidential election, while Democrats Illinois Sen. Barack Obama and New York Sen. Hillary Clinton were busy with Pennsylvania's primary on….

Same state, different message for Michigan's economy
McCain, Romney gearing for battle

….McCain has told voters that the outflow of jobs and workers is the irrevocable consequence of new economic opportunities, and Romney has attempted to portray that attitude as a defeatist neglect of America's can-do spirit….."I've got to give you some straight talk: Some of the jobs that have left the state of Michigan are not coming back," McCain said Wednesday in Grand Rapids. "They are not. And I am sorry to tell you that."….At a debate the next night in South Carolina, Romney latched onto the remark in his first answer of the evening as he attempted to contrast himself with McCain….."He said, you know, some jobs have left Michigan that are never coming back. I disagree," Romney said…..Most economists agree that the decline of American manufacturing is a natural consequence of participation in the modern global economy. But with McCain and Romney having broad agreement across related policy questions - both preach free trade, lower taxes, and looser regulation - the differences between the two have come down to posture, with each attempting to grasp the mantle of optimism in the face of economic gloom….."Romney's talking about trying to support industry and contain the change while McCain is talking about how to ride the change," said Michael Veseth, a professor of international political economy at the University of Puget Sound……

Michigan's economic woes on the ballot
Unemployment is on the agenda as auto industry, White House hopefuls converge on the epicenter of the nation's economic problems.

“….Arizona Sen. John McCain, who won the state's Republican primary eight years ago, has been stressing the need for better job retraining as well as changes in unemployment insurance, including giving displaced workers who can only find lower-paying jobs a few years of supplemental assistance. But he also said he couldn't promise a return of the lost manufacturing jobs…."Here's a little straight talk I know the people of Michigan will understand. Some jobs that have left Michigan are not coming back," he said in a speech Saturday. "And the answer to that isn't to raise false hopes that somehow we can bring back lost jobs but to create new ones."….

1. Rand Paul stated very clearly last night, "Government does not create jobs."

Why is that comment being ignored ?
