Can anyone name a specific jobs bill brought forward by the GOP?

[Tennessee Gal]

Just askin.

[ananda]

1. Can anyone name a jobs or fair tax bill not obstructed or scuttled by the GOP...

... and bluedog Dems?

[mdmc]

2. Sure

Destroy Obama, trickle down tax breaks, rich hire the poor..
That is all that has ever reduced employment, except labor unions..

[Luciferous]

3. Nope, they're too busy complaining about Obama's bill to actually come

up with their own.

[TheKentuckian]

8. Obama took their Chamber of Commerce ideas which leaves them with nothing to propose

if they were so inclined, which they aren't.

They may come up with a token effort of more tax cuts for the wealthy, rich, and upper classes that will supposedly trickle down or a package of public sector cuts that their secular religion claims will free the private sector.

There are always "job killing" regulations to nix.

Only the TeaPubliKlan intransigence and ideological bankruptcy allows Obama to even appear he is even trying either. The scope of the problem is well beyond the failed traditional Republican responses that he offers (that tend not to create many American jobs as well they come with the intent to destroy wages) and obviously can't even be addressed by TeaPubliKlan "answers" which seem to include attacking Obama as a Marxist for adopting their former proposals, de-funding the government, and increasing unemployment.

[Tennessee Gal]

4. Just as I thought. They have done nothing about unemployment.

All they do is obstruct.

5. In Missouri the GOP tried to bring back child labor

I guess that's sort of a jobs bill. <sarcasm>

6. Of course not

All that bipartisan happy talk has you confused. They are not 'honest brokers' nor are they 'our friends'.

[TexasProgresive]

7. The tried and false

cut taxes to the rich and they will crate jobs. Yeah right!

[doc03]

16. Well yes that is true they crated up our jobs and

sent them offshore.:hi:

[MannyGoldstein]

9. The three Bush-Obama "free" trade bills now passing through Congress

were originally introduced by Bush and the Republicans.

These bills will definitely affect jobs - but not in a good way. Do those count?

[Kingofalldems]

10. The Bush tax cuts were supposed to be a huge job creator

Oops.

[OHdem10]

11. They do not believe the Government should create jobs.

Everyone should point out anything the GOP does is long
term if it helps at all. The people are suffering right
now.

Cutting Taxes MAY (no guarantee) help with jobs in long
\term. years down the road. Likewise, Deregualation
will take a year.

[vi5]

12. Tax cuts, de-regulation. Trade agreements..

Oh wait. Never mind.

[Tennessee Gal]

13. Still no one can name a specific job creating bill.

They have done nothing about unemployment and they won't. Their goal is to defeat Obama and they will attempt to blame him for the nation's unemployment problems and all the while they are voting no on everything he proposes.

Just once when one of them gets on the tube whining about Obama's failures, I would like a reporter to ask just one question: What bill have you brought to the floor of the House or Senate to address unemployment?

[doc03]

17. Well they started two wars, I guess it could be argued that

created jobs. Eisenhower created the interstate highway system, of course by today's standards he would be a flaming liberal.

[Thrill]

14. Don't expect the media

to press them for one either

[Tennessee Gal]

15. I gave up expecting the media to ask these bozos a

straightforward question long ago.

They are too cowardly to appear on a show like Rachel Maddow who would nail them.

18. The Lobbyist Guaranteed Employment Act of 2010
