What No One Says About The Job Numbers

[AldebTX]

The repugs say Obama's economy only created an anemic 18,000 jobs. Hidden in the numbers were how many local,state and federal employees that lost their jobs directly attributable to repug admins. Isn't it truer to say repugs cost the economy hundreds of thousands of jobs and the economy Still managed to show a net job gain........

1. There are a few more jobs, yes, but the free trade practically stripped our country naked of jobs

And it's the free trade agreements we NEED to address.

2. Yep.

You nailed it. But that's exactly the LAST thing we'd ever hear from this "New DEM" Party. All they want are more tax cuts for the well-to-do, more wars, and steal Social Security.

6. Do they want to kiss the behinds of the mega-rich because they need their $ to run for office?

Or is there another reason?

3. Sure, that was Clinton, wasn't it?

Lets talk it up, its a great talking point.

7. Wasn't Clinton pushing LATIN AMERICAN free trade? What about all the others? China, for ex? nt

4. Yes, very good point. Would be good if msm were interested in facts.

8. Without tax revenues, you can't fund local, state, and federal

jobs. If Homes are worth 60% less than they were 4 years ago and the public is purchasing less - you can't squeeze blood from those turnips. If there are 100% more unemployed than in 2006 - you loose on income tax.

The story is we don't have the formula for creating PRIVATE sector jobs - the only jobs that allow the creation of public sector jobs.

P.S. CBS opened its Saturday Evening News with this story.

9. Your logic won't appeal to many here.
