. AXELROD The president believes you build a strong, sustainable economy by building a strong, viable growing middle class. You have to continue to upgrade our educational system and improve access to higher education and technical training. We have to invest in research and development and the kinds of things that will create high-end, advanced manufacturing jobs. We have to continue to open up markets all over the world for American products. We need to continue with an all-of-the-above energy policy and really push for the development of all sources of energy. Immigration reform is an unfinished piece of business. But the principal thing we need to be pursuing is a very aggressive strategy of putting people back to work.
Couldn't have said it better myself
Problem is all that costs money we don't have, perfect groundwork for increasing taxes. They'd be better off focusing on manufacturing and industry to bring regular old factory jobs back for regular ole folks.
We've upgraded the educational system to a point that too many of our high school grads can't understand basic Algebra or Geometry. Forget about spelling and grammar. We cannot afford to spend more on education until we get our education where it needs to be. We're spending more than we ever have and dumbing down the students.
Have you seen the graduation numbers and the skill level of the Chicago Public School System, which by the way was recently downgraded.
It's kind of funny that Axelrod would claim "there's a reign of terror within the Republican Party" when the party is in no position to really do anything other than not vote for left policies. They can't sign executive privilege orders to maintain cover-ups or anything.
Thank you for answering more kindly than I would have, we need jobs everywhere and right now, not just in one industry that tends to be regional and dependent more on the benchmark price of crude than any evil regulation.
I'm guessing from your dodge that you have zero experience in oil production.
What dodge? Explain how opening a new field is supposed to generate a bunch of jobs nationwide within short time scale, say 6 months to a year? At best the act would be the equivalent of building a highway in a couple of states to be started when the states can get around to planning and funding the thing.

What if getting our education where it needs to be requires us to spend a couple more bucks?

No, bUt hey can file frivolous contempt of Congress charges
Axelrod believes Republicans are terrorists. True story.
Not a single filibuster has happened in decades. Not passing legislation on the 'THREAT' of a filibuster is nothing more than cowardice on the part of the Democrats.Voters sent Republicans to Washington in 2010 because the economy wasn't improving fast enough and the GOP promised "Jobs. Jobs. Jobs." Instead, the GOP has voted against women and against Health Care Reform. 33 times against Health Care reform, to be precise. They have never voted in favour of any jobs program in the year and a half they have been in office.
Prior to that, the GOP set an all-time record for filibusters and threats of filibusters.
High ranking GOP officials are on record saying that their number one goal is to have a GOP President after this next election.
Calling them obstructionists is being nice.
What is your background in oil production?
I've been in the oil industry for 30 years.
The only thing that slows down immediate drilling in areas known to have oil or gas is the onerous task of aquiring the proper permits. Another reason why government needs to get the hell out of the way.
No sizable affect on job creation?
Look at the Keystone XL pipeline it would have created at least ten thousand jobs. Is that not sizable?
Hell even MSNBC acknowledges oil companies create jobs.
MSNBC finally gives credit to the oil industry for creating jobs in an almost desolate area in North Dakota.

No one is saying the oil industry doesn't create jobs. No one is saying the XL Pipeline wouldn't create jobs. No one is saying a permit couldn't POSSIBLY lead to more jobs.
But that is different from the claims from the Right that getting a permit and getting rid of regulations ALWAYS leads to jobs. That's simply not true and no one is even trying to show how it's true. You all are taking the GOP at face value without stopping to think.

So where are all those 'shovel-ready' jobs Mr. Obama promised us? Oh, that's right, they weren't so 'shovel-ready' after all. And your infrastructure meme is no different than your portrayal of oil companies. It would create jobs for road-building companies, not the general public.

It won't cost a dime to place teacher on merit pay only. Not one more damn dime should be put into that system until the unions are dealt with. Not one.
