Since the Republican "wave" have any of the new state or federal Republicans created a single job? |
|
Because all I see day in and day out is that they're engaged in actual job destruction or stupid vanity legislation.
Can we get a Democratic Representative to put up an electronic scoreboard labeled "New jobs that would be created by proposed/passed Republican initiatives" and have it show the net every day Congress meets (I believe, from various CBO estimates, it would be in the negatives right now)?

4. Funeral director is honest work compared to repuke legislator. |
|
The guy at the Funeral Home may screw you on the money, but at least you get a funeral. The repukes will just screw you and expect you to pay for the privilege.

But I also think there will be a shortage of Funeral Directors in the coming years if republicans get their way.

6. If anything Kasich has lost us jobs, he turned down the |
|
high speed rail money and now he is going to balance the Ohio state budget by cutting funds to counties, townships, cities, libraries etc. One town near me just went through a battle last fall to pass a city income tax to keep up services and now they are back in the red again, they say they will have no choice but cut jobs and services more. Our county's roads are a minefield of potholes and the repaving of roads is already two years behind schedule, now state funds are being cut further. What he is doing is passing the debt to the local governments and selling our roads, prisons and liquor stores to his Wall Street buddies.

11. Exact same thing here with Walker. |
|
Campaigned on jobs, then the first thing he did in office was prevent more from coming through (high-speed rail) and then threaten to fire people if he didn't get his way.

7. No, and the Boner says it's OK to lose more government jobs |
|
His exact words were "If jobs are lost so be it." We have to cut, cut, cut, cut.

9. Oh, like that was part of their campaign platform |
|
Sure, you probably remember Republicans talking about jobs during 2010, but what they were really running on was starving the poor, punishing the pregnant, and reading parts of the Constitution. As far as that goes, mission accomplished, baby! All that foofaraw about jobs and stuff? Just window dressing. The important work of governance is keeping Democrats occupied with nonsense issues that they'll give away if any opposition coalesces, and which they'll happily enact if insufficient numbers of people are paying attention.
