Republicans Holding 3 Million Transportation Jobs Hostage For 6,000 Temp. Oil Jobs

[SniperFire]

EVERY job grows the economy. EVERY LAST ONE. It doesnt matter who the employer is. As long as someone is drawing a paycheck and spending money on goods and services, the economy grows.



PERIOD.

What if everybody had the same job, which was that of Federal employee, and the only responsibility they had was to spend their money on goods and services.

Would the economy grow (period), dumbass?

If stupid impossible what ifs are the only argument you have, you lost before you even posted.

You lose, again.

PERIOD.

right, so the taxpayers gets hosed and can hardly today spend money on goods and services

Youre buying into the fallacy that government employee salaries take OUT of the economy.

If that were true, the ONLY economic factor would be government and private industry would be moot.

Government salaries are paid for by money that is taken from others. At best it is a neutral deal. At worst, it takes investment dollars out of the economy that really grow it.

Nope. He took your argument to its logical extreme and thereby showed how stupid it is.

If you mean their salaries come out of the private economy, it's not a fallacy. it's an indisputable fact.

If that were true, the ONLY economic factor would be government and private industry would be moot.

With as many as 2.9 million new and existing jobs on the line, House Republicans are refusing to pass a transportation reauthorization bill, even after the Senate’s version of the bill overwhelmingly passed through the upper chamber in a 74-22 bipartisan vote.

The deadline for new transportation funding is June 30, and if the calendar flips to July without a compromise, as many as 1.9 million workers could lose their jobs, at least temporarily. The Senate version of the bill, if adapted, would create an additional one million new jobs as well, according to Department of Transportation projections.

So why are House Republicans holding nearly three million jobs hostage? Because they want approval of the controversial Keystone XL pipeline to be included in the bill. This infographic gives a sense of the GOP’s priorities:

That's nothing. Considering they blackmailed Obama into extending the Bush Tax cuts or they would have cut unemployment for millions and millions of Americans.

ROFLMAO

3 Million Fictional Funny Obama math Possible Jobs, VS 6000 Actual Real Immediate Jobs, and A Step Toward better Energy Security.

But don't bother letting facts get in the way of your Delusion fucking Fantasies.

NO ENERGY SECURITY.

Canadian company seeking a cheaper and quicker way to ship oil overseas.

The MAJORITY of the oil is NOT to be used in America.

MYTH #2: Keystone XL will improve America’s energy security.

FACT: The Keystone XL pipeline is designed for one thing—to send oil from Canada to the Texas Gulf coast, and from there to overseas markets. According to retired Brigadier General Steven M. Anderson (the US Army’s senior logistician in Iraq from 2006-2007), the pipeline “would set back our renewable energy efforts for at least two decades, much to our enemies’ delight. It would ensure we maintain our oil addiction and delay making the tough decisions regarding energy production, management and conservation that we need to start making today.” And as Anderson makes clear, “Canadian oil won’t replace imports from hostile countries because Texas refiners are serving global demand rather than domestic need.”


MYTH #5: Keystone XL will reduce our energy prices.

FACT: According to its own secret documents submitted to the Canadian government, TransCanada expects the pipeline to increase gas prices in the Midwest by up to 15 cents per gallon. Currently, a surplus of gas in the region means that our prices stay stable. If the pipeline is built oil companies will be able to send their product to the Gulf coast for export, which will reduce this surplus and drive up costs for Midwestern consumers.




The Top-10 Myths Vs. Facts About Keystone XL : Wildlife Promise

Canada wanted to send the dirtiest oil on the planet through the heart of America so that they could access export routes. And they proposed getting there by bringing the pipeline right over the Ogallala Aquifer, one of America's most important repositories of fresh water. Along the route, Democrats and Republicans alike opposed it.

For the 100 and one time lefties..federal jobs do not grow the economy. The federal government is not an employment agency. Transportation seems to be working OK so it seems that that I don't have to shell out a percentage of my personal wealth to finance jobs that we don't freaking need.

EVERY job grows the economy. EVERY LAST ONE. It doesnt matter who the employer is. As long as someone is drawing a paycheck and spending money on goods and services, the economy grows.



PERIOD.

No, it doesn't.

I"ll tell you what. You hook an alternator up to charge a battery on an electric vehicle. Start the vehicle and then try to run forever on just the alternator and battery that is being charged.

When you are done, explain to Me and the rest of the class why it is that the battery was unable to continue to power the car.

Anyone?
