Good News For Repubs: No New Jobs In August

[Truthmatters]

Why did the rebuplican party play games with the full faith and credit of the American people?


They did it to kill job growth.

It worked.

They should be happy no one got hired.

 

[Sundial]

The Labor Department's monthly report is the worst showing in a year and offers stark evidence that hiring has stalled. About 14 million people were officially unemployed in August, and many of those who do have jobs saw their weekly hours trimmed.

LA Times

I wonder if Rick Perry will take credit for creating half of the zero new jobs?

No. 100%.

 

[OODA_Loop]

Have to ask oneself why Democrats are so impotent.

 

[Sundial]

Republicans got what they dreamed of.......slash spending and then blame the President for no new jobs

Repub Plan:
1.) Slash spending.
2.) Cut jobs.
3.) ???
4.) Profits!

Republicans failed to pass a budget for over 2 year and racked up trillions in deficits!!

Oh no, wait, that was the Dems and Obama....nevermind

Spending was "slashed"? You're amusing.

This can't be true. Republicans ran on "Jobs Jobs Jobs" and they forced Obama to extend the Bush Tax cuts. We know from 8 years of Bush and trickle down how well Republican economic policies work. It has to be the liberal media lying.
Republicans have God on their side. They can't be wrong.

 

[LibocalypseNow]

Lots of Republicans out of work too. I doubt they think this is good news.

 

[Oldstyle]

Did anyone notice that Obama backed off having the EPA enforce tougher regulations today? He's obviously starting to figure out that stuff like that is going to kill HIS economy. Gee, give the guy another four years and he might actually begin to figure out how stuff works. (eye-roll)

"Obama Pulls Back Proposal to Tighten Clean Air Rules

By JOHN M. BRODER

Published: September 2, 2011

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration is abandoning its plan to immediately tighten air-quality rules nationwide to reduce emissions of smog-causing chemicals after an intense lobbying campaign by industry, which said the new rule would cost billions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of jobs, officials said Friday.

The Environmental Protection Agency, following the recommendation of its scientific advisers, had proposed lowering the so-called ozone standard from that set by the Bush administration to a new stricter standard that would have thrown hundreds of American counties out of compliance with the Clean Air Act. It would have required a major effort by state and local officials, as well as new emissions controls by industries and agriculture across the country"


http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/03/science/earth/03air.html?_r=1

(Its also an admission of guilt after the release of the employment numbers this morning that the administration's policies have not been working, cannot work, and will not work in the future, that his administration has been standing in the way all along of any possible economic recovery and that four more years of Barack Hussein Obama will lead to four more years of recession and stagnation. We saw all of this happen before during the twelve year Great Depression and after seeing it once we should commit ourselves to never making that same mistake again.
Unfortunately the LeftMedia thought they recognized in Barack Hussein Obama the Socialist's 'Wet Dream" in that anyone objecting to or obstructing any of his policies could be labeled as 'Racist', dealt and disposed of just as quickly. As a result the Media conspired and colluded to obfuscate and obliterate any and all questionable relationships Obama had with such anti American individuals as Bill Ayers, Jeremiah Wright and the oderiferous Antoine Reczko. This obfuscation and failure to adequately vet Barack Hussein Obama as a candidate for the Presidency of the United States lead to the ascent to that office of the most anti American, most unqualified, most dangerous man to ever reach that position.

Bill O'Reilly(?) had Mark Levin on last night and Mr O asked Mark Levin if an admission from Mr O that his policies had not worked would be sufficient and Mark Levin replied that "The only thing that would be acceptable would be a statement from Obama that he has screwed up the country so badly in his thirty two months in office that he was resigning immediately")

Nobody "forced" Obama to extend the Bush Tax cuts, Rdean. He reluctantly recognized that letting them expire was going to be one more thing to dampen "HIS" economy. It's the same reason the Democrats didn't get rid of the Bush Tax cuts when they controlled the House and the Senate. But naive liberals like yourself buy the excuse that the Republicans "forced" Obama to extend the cuts.

I don't think republicans who have lost their jobs--are real happy with this report--but nice try anyway--

Here we are in the summer--typically the busiest season of the year for job growth--and Obama goes on vacation--(like he did last year)--announcing he had a new jobs plan--that obviously flopped last year--and then waits to announce this year's plan (after he takes a vacation) first.

Classic dupe of Pub Propaganda....misses the point totally (Pub obstruction and fear mongering is total, blocking recovery measures since 1/2010), but is up on all the trivial, irrelevant Pub BS. Hoping for your recovery.

Suddenly, Republicans stop taking credit for jobs reports


Steve Benen rightly mocks the GOP's selective amnesia on jobs report data. Earlier this year they were taking credit for job growth. For example:

Indeed, job growth wasn't bad in the first four months of 2011, averaging about 178,500 jobs per month.

But that was before any of the GOP's economic policies had taken effect. Over the last four months, we've seen the impact of April's budget deal compounded by a summer of hostage-taking over the debt ceiling, culminating in a deal that in their own words gave them 98 percent of what they wanted.


And ever since the GOP started getting its way, job growth has declined sharply, averaging just 39,500 jobs over the last four months, a drop of 139,000 jobs per month from the first four months of the year.


So whatever they're doing isn't working. No wonder they've stopped taking credit.

The things republicans do NEVER hurt the economy , its always hte democrats fault even when the republicans hold the entire government.

Do you drool on yourself when you're spouting that nonsense?

 

[kiwiman127]

It's hard to blame the GOP. They aren't the ones hiring or in this case not hiring!
The culprits are the business that are literally sitting on trillions of dollars and are only hiring offshore. And they are making record profits doing so.
So why would they want to change?

BS- even though Obama NEVER wanted to raise them before 2013....more total Pub Dupe BS...

 

[LibocalypseNow]

Typical Hopey Changey follower madness: 4% Unemployment/Bush = BAAAAAD!!! while 9.1% Unemployment/Obama = GOOOOOOD!!! So I wouldn't count on these nutters to fix our Economy. See ya in 2012.

550,000 local government jobs are gone, like GOP advocates, since the Great Recession started. For August, overall government employment declined 17,000 even though the State of Minnesota went back to work.

Employment Situation Summary

In a GOP/Tea Party-free, compromise environment, then even the striking Verizon employees would have more likely been employed, the 17,000 government job losses might more easily have been gains instead.

And as for the 550,000 government jobs taking spending out of the stores: Then there is what GOP has been contending, having said "No!" to everything else!

"Crow, James Crow: Shaken, Not Stirred!"
(GOP take economy into Go-It-Alone without government help, Like Yellow-Hair at Little Big Horn! No Reinforcements needed, unlike in Govenor's Texas!)

The stimulus money ran out is why. You remember "this 868 BILLION borrowed and spent taxpayer dollars--"will create millions of private sector jobs and keep unemployment from rising about 8.2%--BARACK OBAMA--then this turned into "saving" government workers jobs.

As you can see it did TEMPORARILY save government workers jobs--and now they're getting laid off.

Wouldn't have been better to lay off government workers 2-1/2 years ago--verus "temporarily" saving their jobs. ANSWER--Yes.

It's proof again that massive government borrowing and spending DOES not create long term private sector growth--in fact--it just stalls the overall economic recovery.

I can't wait for the Parade!!

All volunteer, of course, wouldn't want anyone to have to claim income and lose UE stimulous cash.

oh, and here's some irony for the lefty fuckholes;

The economy was great until the dems took congress, THEN it tanked.
NOW the gop controls 1/2 of 1/3 the government and it thier fault.

fuck you. All you lying cock sucking hypocrites. I hope you are enjoying the hell you created.
