GOP Gets Their Wish - Unemployment is Up

[mudwhistle]

Congratulations to all of you who want smaller government! 39,000 jobs were shed in June. Of course, private businesses only added 57,000 jobs, so the unemployment rate went up, but that's what smaller government looks like!

So again, Congratulations!

Huh! That's a net gain of 18,000 for the private sector. Yep,, we like smaller gov. and a bigger private sector. What's yer beef???

Some can't see an increase of revenue producing jobs as opposed to spending jobs as a positive.

 

[mudwhistle]

To the OP:

That's a wonderful way to debate.

Someone makes a point..and you put up a stupid little cartoon calling them stupid.

How smart you are.

I wonder if this is why the country is in the crapper. Because smart people like George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, and now all the Tea Partiers in Congress that filibuster everything that comes down the pike uses this sort of technique to show why compromise just doesn't work.

They tell the other side they are stupid then ignore them.

The reason we are in the crapper is because dealing with Democrats isn't rational.

It's insane to think that a party that is that dishonest, that unrealistic, and that deceitful can be counted on as a reliable partner in any endeavor.

The reason you and those like you appear stupid is because you've been so easily convinced that the GOP is the one being so.

If you got a net gain of jobs, explain how the employment rate went up?

Do private-sector jobs count less then public-sector jobs, WTF is going on here?

Could it be somebody in the government has been fudging the numbers?

Seems the only thing Obama is good at is destroying jobs and lying about it's effect. After all, his campaign is now claiming that employment doesn't matter anymore.

If Bush had said that the media would have castrated him.

really
this is what we want?
you ever think some of the UE are republicans?
you and Toro think the same
you think you know it all, and yet you know nothing

The GOP leadership, and many on these boards, have been screaming forever now about smaller government. The need to shrink government. Well, what do you think that looks like? It looks like 39,000 people losing their jobs in one month.

This is what many conservatives wanted. Why isn't there more celebrating?

Any idiot should be able to see the benefits of a smaller government.

Well, almost any idiot.

You certainly do, and you do not appear to understand the subject of this thread.

Probably because it's not worth celebrating.

To be honest, misery is the Democrats ally. Where do they get most of their support from?

From the poor. What better way to increase their base then to put more of us into that category.

Well sorta. See the misery caused by Conservative policy is an ally when you have to clean up the mess.

But I digress..lets try a real world example.

Once a upon a time, a shinning liberal city on a hill (well one with a natural harbor and not much of a hill) built the tallest buildings in the world. They were a symbol of liberal capitalism working together to generate wealth for everyone in the city. Then along came a conservative hero, lets call him Ronald Reagan, who wanted to slay the big bad commies in Afghanistan. But instead of taking them on, mano a mano, they funded conservative religious crazies to chop them to little bits. Then..another conservative hero, lets call him George HW Bush continued the policy and even did business with the family of one of the top conservative religious nuts, lets call him Osama Bin Laden.

Fast forward to the big bad evil villian, lets call him Bill Clinton. He said, that Osama Bin Laden was a badmother,,conservatives say "Shut your mouth"...

But he wants to attack America, says Clinton!

Conservatives say, Attack Iraq..they are the bad guys! And then..conservatives try to remove the villian Clinton from office.

The son of the old conservative hero, lets call him George W. without the H..Bush..assumes the throne. 8 months later...despite the warnings of the CIA, the villian Clinton and CNN..a plot to destroy the buildings the liberal city on the hill, succeeds! And lo and behold..it's the brother of a man that George W. Bush started a business with!! No way!

Those buildings took a decade to put up..and hours to knock down. They DID NOT get rebuilt during George W. Bush's administration.

The economy is sort of like that. Centuries to build up..and 8 short years to completely devastate.

Sorry chief..3 years ain't long enough to fix it. Especially when the very people that caused it to crash are working tooth and nail to make sure you don't.

Well, almost any idiot.

really? what's the benefit of jobs being created in the private sector, but people becoming unemployed from the public sector? and then the rightwing complains about unemployment going up. it's going up because of this BS "austerity" push. personally, i think that's counter productive.

i also think in large part the "small government" types are only for "small government" when they choose to be. they loooooooove government when it tells women what to do with their bodies; men what to do with their braindead wives; potsmokers what to do; etc., etc...

so the whole "small government" argument is pretty ridiculous in the context of getting people working. people work, they spend money. they spend money, businesses grow. the stupidity of downsizing in a fragile economy is beyond belief.

The public sector is taking a beating too..thanks to Republicans.

If anyone recalls, instead of supporting the prez., the GOP (goofy old people) want Obama to fail, and to be a single term prez., so they can further their agenda, which is deeper tax cuts for only the rich, which is fair in my mind, in 10 years or less, we'll be looking more like Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, and other third world nations, I already have a cave to reside in out in New Mexico, and they (righties) can come and find me.

For the GOP to say Obama hasn't done anything for job creation, is a flat out lie.
10 jobs bills have been introduced and killed by the GOP. For the GOP to say: we need jobs, that's a smokescreen. Why would the GOP want job creation when their rich friends are getting along just fine farming out labor to third world countries which pay workers 25 cents a day? It would hurt their pocketbooks to have to pay an American a fair wage. So why would the GOP kill their sacred cows? not gonna happen.

If the GOP get's control of eveything, Americans can look ahead to even lower wages. Benefits? There won't be any. Look ahead for 25 cent an hour wages, and there'll be none of that social security or medicare, you will be on your own.

So, that's what the GOP is REALLY about, lining their pockets, lining their friend's pockets, and screwing average, ordinary American citizens.

Lower wages would be a God-send. Don't confuse lowering wages with lower wages. Raising the minimum wage cost millions of jobs.

There would be more jobs for those just entering the job market. More people working and less unemployment, more people paying taxes, more people spending their own money rather then their parents or entitlement cash. Fewer companies would be outsourcing. Less people collecting unemployment and collecting food stamps. It all goes hand in hand.

As it is, even though the Dems raised the MW less and less of us are making a living-wage. It raised prices of consumable goods. Now energy is going up as well. Most people only got a pay increase of maybe 1.3 percent and inflation was 3 times that. So, everyone is getting a net loss in pay due to the shrinking dollar.

Who's fault is that? When was the last time the GOP had control of the Treasury for one? When was the last time the GOP set regulations for the EPA, FDIC, FDA, etc.?

To them, it's not counter productive. If you listen to them wax nostalgic..they talk about a time before the New Deal, when there was no middle class. When what you had was very rich people and a compliant working class willing to put up with any conditions thrown at them to feed their families. And a great many of them couldn't even get a wage capable of doing that. The destruction of the middle class is the ultimate goal of conservativism.
