GOP jobs agenda

[rightwinger]

With Republicans taking over Congress today, prepare to be dazzled with their jobs agenda. It is what we have been waiting six years for

In the new Congress, Republicans will have the majority in both the Senate and the House for the first time in eight years. As they get ready to take power, their rhetorical focus is clear: jobs, the economy, and more jobs.
So far, there are two main proposals on deck for the GOP. First, the Hire More Heroes Act, which would make it easier for small businesses that hire veterans to deny health care to their employees. Second, they want to immediately build the Keystone XL pipeline, a project that would transport oil from Canada to the Gulf Coast.
On their own, these are both extremely small-bore policies. But as a jobs agenda, this doesn't even rise to the level of pitiful. It's the latest evidence that Republicans continue to struggle with basic macroeconomics — and it does not bode well for the nation should they win the White House in 2016.

Those 'pitiful' efforts beat the hell out of anything the Democrats have offered for the last 6 years. BTW, is the Keystone XL pipeline going to build itself?

 

[Skull Pilot]

Obammy will just veto anything he doesn't like and then say the repubs refuse to compromise.

Anything beats what the Democrats have been doing. Republicans have been passing job bills for Americans. That is not called whining.

Im interested in hearing more about these individual bills. The republicans have also vowed to allow Democrat input on bills going through - something Democrats denied them for the last 6 years.

I did see some of them are rollbacks on regulations that are hampering expansion. I dont know what they are though. Presumably energy related.

Yeah, sure. Now suddenly the GOP/KKK care about vets and jobs.

Republicans shelve Obama s proposed Veterans Jobs Corps - Los Angeles Times

The measure had been on Obama’s to-do list for Congress, a modest set of initiatives aimed at boosting the nation’s sluggish economy that Republicans have largely rejected. The jobs bill would have hired veterans who served in the military since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, to work on federal public lands projects and would have established a network of job training centers.

The jobless rate among those veterans was 10.9% in August, compared with a rate of 8.1 % in the broader population.
