Harry Reid & Senate Dems Holding Up 24 Jobs Bills Passed By The House...

[edthecynic]

Calling a balanced budget amendment a "JOBS BILL" is ridiculous and ludicrous!! But you both knew that already!

The GOP’s ludicrous claim about their jobs bill - The Washington Post

The ridiculous bills trying to pass as "jobs bills" includecthe standard GOP fare masquerading as employment initiatives

Such favorites as:

Balanced Budget Amendment
Additional tax cuts for the wealthy
Relaxed environmental and workplace safety regulations

. The 5 million figure cited by Paul, and echoed by other Republicans, is ludicrous. Even if one accepts the studies that came up with the figures, in most cases they indicate the GOP proposals would do little to create jobs in the near future.

Ahh... Well, if a blog says it, it must be true....

Well then....why don't you post the actual bills and we can discuss whether they are just GOP slash taxes/slash regulation or whether they are actual jobs bills

Should be fun

Candidate Obama told us that deficits were a failure of leadership.... btw.. how'd all the profligate spending and debt of the last three years work out for us?

WTG Democrats, another wonderful success story. Worst U.S. Senate in History? You bet.

With Gallup’s recent report that the U.S. underemployment rate now stands at a jaw-dropping 19 percent, Speaker John Boehner wants to know why Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Senate Democrats have yet to take action on the 24 jobs bills passed by the Republican-led House of Representatives.

"The president really wants to get the economy moving again, maybe he’ll pick up the phone and call Senator Reid and ask Senate Democrats to get off their rear ends." - Speaker Boehner

Some political analysts believe Speaker Boehner’s comments may forecast the Republican Party’s congressional election strategy. According to Reuters, everywhere Speaker Boehner goes, he now carries in his left breast-coat pocket a four by eight card that lists the two dozen jobs bills that have passed the House but lay dormant in the Democrat-controlled Senate. Boehner’s card, says Nathan Gonzales of the Rothenberg Political Report, may presage a broader electoral strategy.

Speaker Boehner’s move to go on offense about jobs will prove critical in an election likely to center on America’s stagnant economic growth and persistently high unemployment numbers. Democrats need to win 25 seats to regain majority control of the House of Representatives.

Whaaaaaaa? I keep hearing in the media and from the White House that it is the eeeeeeevil Republican Congress that is holding things up. You mean it's really Harry Reid? Say it ain't so! The media wouldn't lie about a thing like that.

 

[uscitizen]

Reid and the Democrats don't give a shit about American Jobs. They only care about 'Party before Country.' They can't possibly accept the idea Republicans might get some credit for creating Jobs. So Reid has decided to fuck everyone over, rather than allow that to happen. Reid really is a disgrace.

Just replace democrat with republican and republican with democrat and it is still valid.

Baa Baa Baaa.

I guess it depends on what spending and debt you are talking about..

The trillions we spent on Afghanistan and Iraq was a waste of money
Unfunded Medicare Part D was poor fiscal management
The two trillion of debt we added for the Bush tax cuts was almost criminal
The 800 billion stimulus prevented a depression and added 3 million jobs
The auto bailout was a wise investment

If the bills are so ridiculous then the Dems in the Senate would not vote for them.
Reid won't let them come up because some Dems would vote for them.
Balanced Budget is a good thing.
Getting rid of the ridiculous regulations and costly regulations is not relaxing environment and safety in the workplace.
The tax cuts help the middle class and businesses.

The Governor of Puerto Rico did the same things and now they are out of the hole in the budget, jobs are coming back, because Companies are moving there and they are thriving.
The GOP proposals are working great in Puerto Rico.

 

[zeke]

28 bills in the Senate that not a damn one of the Rethugs on here know what is in them but they know they will create millions of jobs, if only the rich didn't have to pay taxes.

Thank you Harry, for not giving in to this Rethug bull shit.

 

[Rozman]

Seems like this country finds a way to
get through tough times without the government involvement.
I am not talking about catastrophic developments like what happened
in 2008.

But the Democrats can't get what they want.
The Republicans can't get the Democrats to look at any of the bills the GOP
put up.Makes me wonder some times about this whole process.

Meanwhile the country limps along.
Is it getting any better....
Not by much if you ask me.
Coming up on 4 years now with this administration
and not a lot of progress as far as I'm concerned.

And they want another 4 years!

GOP’s ‘Job-Killing’ Whopper, Again
Republican attack ads peddle a shopworn, overblown claim about the health care law's effects.

Summary

The exaggerated Republican claim that the new health care law “kills jobs” was high on our list of the “Whoppers of 2011.” But the facts haven’t stopped Republicans and their allies from making the “job-killing” claim a major theme of their campaign 2012 TV ads:
■Five ads by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce attack Democrats by repeating the “Obamacare will kill jobs” refrain.
■Seven other Chamber spots praise Republicans, using the same theme.
■An ad from the group Freedom Path, supporting Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch, says the law is “devastating to small business.”
■ Republican Rep. Jo Bonner of Alabama features a large stack of papers he claims are “job-killing regulations and taxes” in one of his spots.

All of this is health-care hooey, aimed at exploiting public concern over continuing high unemployment, with little basis in fact.

As we’ve said before (a few times), experts project that the law will cause a small loss of low-wage jobs — and also some gains in better-paid jobs in the health care and insurance industries.

It’s also expected that more workers will decide to retire earlier, or work fewer hours, when they no longer need employer-sponsored insurance and can obtain it on their own with help from federal subsidies. But that just means fewer people willing to work — and it will free up jobs for those who want them. If anything, that could reduce the jobless rate.

Claims about the alleged devastation of small business are also off base. The fact is, businesses with fewer than 50 workers are exempt from the requirement to provide coverage, or pay a penalty to the government. Furthermore, some small businesses with fewer than 25 employees are already getting tax credits under the new law to help defray the cost of providing worker coverage.

The GOP ads tend to combine the mostly bogus “job-killing” claim with their well-worn slogan calling the law a “government takeover” of health care, which isn’t true. The law expands the government’s Medicaid system to cover some who are not currently insured, but it also greatly expands private insurance. After the law takes effect, the government’s share of all spending on health care will still remain well under half, rising less than 4 percentage points, according to official projections.

Read on to our Analysis for more on the law’s projected impact on jobs.

Just one of the Repub lies about job killers. Nobody believes Republican lies anymore.

You all just go on believing those 2010 midterm elections NEVER happened.

November isn't that far away..

So do you think you'll grab the WH with your idiotic candidates? Midterm elections are no indication of how things will go in a presidential year and we have a while.

Don't count your chickens, Steph, you're not that good at this.

Vote? In the Senate?

When was the last time the Republicans allowed ANYTHING to go for a vote without a 60% filibuster proof majority?

Yet, somehow Republicans expect a vote with 48% support simply because they slap "jobs bill" on the legislation?

yeah well, it's fun to watch you all count yours..and I for one will be laughing if we get to see you all eat all that crowing.

The Gop candidates might not be acceptable to you on the left, but the Obama's approvals is still in the 40's so that means he isn't acceptable to the People of the country.
