Bonehead blames weak jobs report on 'threat of higher taxes'

[WI_DEM]

John Boehner:
Private-sector job growth continues to be undermined by the triple threat of higher taxes, more failed 'stimulus' spending, and excessive federal regulations. Together, these Washington policies have created a fog of uncertainty that's left small businesses unable to hire and American families worried about the future.

(but John, don't you on the GOP side want to end the payroll tax cut?)

1. Taxes don't create jobs!

Demand for goods and services creates Jobs.
and Protective Tariffs create Jobs.
Bring our Tariffs back! End Free Trade!!!!

Government stimulus isn't working because it is ultimately going back to China! or overseas...
The Giant Sucking Sound still has not stopped!!!!

2. How can someone as mentally incompetent as Boner

ever rise to a higher level than that of men's room attendant, much less such a position of political power?

This "statement" makes no sense whatsoever, but I s'pose it's what the Vicodin Pig told him to say.

3. Good Grief, Boner! It's the same miserable, no-growth jobs report we've been seeing for the past

decade! Tell me, oh, Brilliant One, how many jobs were created during the entire 8 years of G.W. Bush?

4. How is this asshole getting away with this? What has he done to create even ONE job??????????

5. Boner is, in effect, the only voice being heard.

The president, sadly, agrees with Boner for the most part on matters economic ("free" trade, "free" markets, "government cannot create jobs," "rich people drive the economy," etc.) so no one is forcefully making the case for progressive economics.

7. I heard that the bars in DC had to add bartenders to keep

up with his drinking

Does that count??

6. I blame the threat of idiots in congress

who blindly play games with Americans jobs and livelihood.

If he were right then why is the jobs data getting worse after stimulus spending has ended? Why was the jobs data so good under Clinton with the same (perhaps even more) government regulation? Same thing for Clinton and taxes. Nope the only thing that seems different is the stupid level in congress. Although I don't think anyone can measure stupid, I think the Boehners easily refuted argument is sign enough congress has gotten stupider.

8. BULLSHIT. 2 extra years DID NOT CREATE JOBS.

TAX HIKE MUST BE THE ANSWER!
