Now that Republicans have control of the house, seems they are saying, "We never said we could create any jobs".
First, Gov. Christie of New Jersey is being tauted because he cut 20,000 jobs. Other Republicans are joining they fray. They want to cut 200,000 jobs and the latest, for JB is 700,000. So be it.
So they are saying they have no plan for "job creation"? If they continue to cut taxes for the wealthy and cut middle class jobs, who is going to pay for the military?
Let's point out that cutting 700,000 jobs adds nearly a full percentage point to the unemployment rate. That would bring it back up to over 10%, which is where Bush left it on the last day of his final budget.
Are we only seeing part of the Republican plan? Is there more or is this as far as they've gotten? Used to be the Republican's only plan was to cut taxes. Now it's "cut taxes" and "cut jobs". That's the plan? There has to be more.
Your math is wrong:
700000/153000000 - Google Search
Employment Situation Summary Table A. Household data, seasonally adjusted
Your timing of when government spent according to Bush's last budget is wrong:
Bureau of Labor Statistics Data
Read The Bill: H.R. 2638 [110th] - GovTrack.us
H.R. 1105 [111th]: Omnibus Appropriations Act, 2009 (GovTrack.us)

You are publishing a bunch of links without explaining anything.
Remember, Bush left out the cost of both wars and the cost in real terms of his trillions in tax cuts and "drugs for votes" bill. That's 3 to 7 trillion right there. Obama actually published the first honest budget in 8 years.
Besides, the 2.4 million jobs Republicans moved to China from 2001 to 2008 was trending employment downward. Which peaked in Oct of 2009. See your own link at:

Because Obama passed some bills, we know that once it's passed, it takes months and even years before it affects anything. Because it takes time to put a "structure" in place. Republicans want to make Obama the "instant president". Because if he weren't the "instant president", then the damage has to come from their disastrous policies, which, obviously, it does.

How did the Republicans move these jobs exactly? did they call U-Haul or Ryder trucks.
Can you be a little more specific please.Did they go into offices at night and move peoples desks one by one to China....Did Joe the mail room guy walk into his office and go to sit down only to discover that the chair was gone? Your a funny guy....you make me laugh
