Former GOP Rep. Ray LaHood bashes


Former Republican Congressman Ray Lahood, currently Secretary of Transportation — and the only Republican in the Obama administration, bashed members of his party in an interview given to Eleanor Clift of The Daily Beast.

Lahood said that the freshmen class of “tea party” congressmen prioritizes defeating President Obama over creating jobs. “The crowd that was elected the last time not only came here to do nothing, they also came to put down the president,” he said.

“And the way to put him down is not to give him any kind of opportunity to be successful,” LaHood said. “Republicans made a decision right after the election — don’t give Obama any victories. The heck with putting people to work, because we can score points


Now people know why jobs aren't being created and why there is so much deadlock, those dumbasses will gone on the next voting cycle, Americans have had enough.
 
...private industry creates jobs. Your right about the GOP newbies being worthless, just like the rest of the DNC/GOP politicians. Fire the GOP/DNC poli's & replace em with Constitutionally based representatives of the people.

Government doesn't create job? Ask the people who live in areas where trhe military used to be at or the people near Cape Canaveral if government creates jobs, you're out of your facking mind. Cl,ose down Fort Bragg or a Ft Hood and businesses outside post as well as government employees would suffer, you facking blind and never see the whole picture. Government does create jobs directly and indirectly.

Sure - government creates jobs. TONS of (worthless) jobs.
BTW - how much revenue do these government jobs create?
 
There's a reason he's a former Republican Congressman.

Ok....Here are the facts. And I should know since he was the congressman in the district next to mine.

Ray Lahood replaced retiring Bob Michel (who I met in a golf outing), the House Minority Leader from 1981-1995. Ray was the only (or one of the few) freshman GOP congressman who REFUSED to sign Newt Gingrich's "Contract with America". Pretty gutsy for a freshman.

He had that job as long as he wanted. When he announced he was quitting nearly every person running for his job wanted his endorsement.

He was a really, really good congressman who had respect from and worked across both sides of the aisle. He also sponsored bipartisan retreats to help reduce the bitterness between the parties. That is why he was the person picked to chair the Clinton impeachment proceedings. Even the Democrats respected him.

One of the smartest moves Obama made was tapping him for Transportation Secretary.

"Worked across both sides of the aisle" is a euphemism meaning he's a RINO. Just as I thought: there's a reason he's no longer a Congressman.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_LaHood

n August 2007, LaHood received a 0% rating from the conservative and anti-earmark Club for Growth 2007 RePORK Card.[12] He received an 11% rating from the conservative lobbying group Citizens Against Government Waste in August 2007, and holds a lifetime 49% rating from the group.[13]

No self-respecting Republican would work for Obama.

Someone should send him a voter registration application so he can change his party.

BTW - how much revenue do these government jobs create?

Military
cops
Firemen
inspectors
nurses
drs
transportation workers
teachers
code enforcement
sanitation workers
hydroengineers
the list goes on and on.


Why do you people refuse to live in reality?

Put down the lead paint for a moment and try again.

Only the Military is mandated by the Constitution. All the other things you listed can be done better and cheaper locally. Which keeps the "power closer to the people".

First of all the fact that you referred to teachers as "lazy fucks" shows that you are totally clueless. :confused:

Government jobs DO produce revenue. What do you think that the cops, firefighters, teachers, highway workers, etc. spend their money on? They buy cars, groceries, clothing as well as go on vacations and leisure activities. Every one of the things they spend their money on require OTHER people to produce the goods.

It's the same thing with my job. As long as you pay your light bill then I will make the big bucks that I currently make to go out and spend it and put it back into the economy. I take your money from you (yippee!!) and give it to others. It's the same thing with ANY job.

Are you assuming that those government jobs did not exist then the taxpayers would somehow get some sort of huge tax return? What planet are you from?

The only thing that has been proven to NOT create jobs is "Trickle Down Economics". That program has been nothing but a miserable failure from the beginning. The only thing that has prospered are overseas tax shelters.

Class dismissed.

Another brain-dead Socialist attempting to sell us "The Government generates revenue."

OK shitbird - HOW MUCH revenue has the U.S. government - not cops, teaches, and fish/game wardens - HOW MUCH REVENUE HAS THE U.S. GOVERNMENT generated over the last three years, and where how was that revenue used towards the bottom line of the U.S. budget.

Class not dismissed, asswipe.
 
A "Do-Nothing" Congress is perfect. I like "Do-Nothing" Congresses. When Congress is doing something,it usually means they're screwing things up for Americans. Like banning light bulbs and such. Our Government has been over-reaching for years. They have created all of our terrible problems. And now some feel they're gonna fix all those problems they created? Sorry,not gonna happen. They'll only make things worse. How do you get to $16 Trillion in Debt? I didn't force them to spend all that Taxpayer money. They did that all on their own. We need more "Do-Nothing" Congresses. That's exactly what we need.

If you're still looking for a post to give me that promised pos rep this will do.

The only way that the government generates revenue is through taxation (but I'll bet you already knew that, didn't you?) It then, in returns funds projects that puts ordinary Americans to work. By doing that it generates more taxes that contributes to the bottom line of the budget AND the economy. You may not like this answer but it's the truth.

On the flip-side, why don't you explain how YOU generate revenue that doesn't come out of the pockets of others?

So - the only way the government can generate revenue is by taking our money.

Brilliant.

The IRS - in case you haven't noticed - is one of the biggest fucking FAILURES in the U.S. Government. It's probably where you work. Either there or the failing US Postal Service. Maybe you clean shitters aboard on of those thriving U.S. Gov't AMTRACKs, or you're a clerk at the highly productive DMV .

Whatever the case, you're seriously, a fucking idiot.
