GOP jobs agenda

[Dad2three]

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

How bout an infrastructure/jobs act and training for 3 million tech jobs going begging? DUH. Some actual good jobs. S.Carolina sounds like crap lol...Night haters!

**** off. The only places that suck in S.C. are the ones where all the dems reside. They really know how to **** a place over.

The Republican Party hasn't had a single idea that benefited the majority of Americans since before Reagan.

And the democratic party is flush with ideas that suck.

Losing 20% of your senate holdings should tell you that.

 

[Dad2three]

Because you won't admit the truth, it is the state governors who create jobs not the ******* president

That's why conservatives are taking state houses right and left.

People know what works. And it ain't Obama.

Sure, THAT'S it


GOP Memo: Gerrymandering Won Us The House Majority

In the memo -- titled "How a Strategy of Targeting State Legislative Races in 2010 Led to a Republican U.S. House Majority in 2013" -- RSLC boasts that it "raised more than $30 million in 2009-2010, and invested $18 million after Labor Day 2010 alone" to ensure statehouse victories in states like Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin.

"The rationale was straightforward," reads the memo. "Controlling the redistricting process in these states would have the greatest impact on determining how both state legislative and congressional district boundaries would be drawn. Drawing new district lines in states with the most redistricting activity presented the opportunity to solidify conservative policymaking at the state level and maintain a Republican stronghold in the U.S. House of Representatives for the next decade."

Yep, read this asshole before.....keep dreaming there dickweed.

BTW: Did we just kick your ass in the senate by gerrymandering ? What a dipshit.

Wait, you mean that talking point needs to be addressed again? Yeah, record low (70+ years) turnout, a portion that favored GOPers, and the last 2 years of a sitting Prez of opposing party? Shocking

Wait till 2016 when the GOP has to TRY to win, what 26 seats that aren't tilted their way and will ride the coattails of the next Dem Prez? lol

"GOP jobs agenda"

Or the lack thereof.

 

[Sonny Clark]

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.

Sorry Republicans The Keystone XL pipeline is not a jobs agenda - The Week

Yes, we need jobs, millions of jobs. We need jobs that cover all education and skill levels. We need an adequate number of living wage jobs. We need manufacturing jobs. We need jobs in every state. We need to provide self-supporting opportunities for everyone between the ages of 18 and 65, that are able and capable of working. We need to get citizens off government assistance programs, and on payrolls. We need to drastically reduce our dependency on cheap foreign imports. We need to put America back to work, producing what America uses and consumes.

For way too many years, we've sacrificed our economic well-being in favor of strengthening foreign economies. We've lost way too many industries to cheap foreign labor markets. We've lost most of the jobs that once provided self-supporting opportunities that covered all education and skill levels. We've lost all or part of the textile, electronics, furniture, farm equipment, automotive parts and supplies, tools, toys, steel, and appliance industries over the past 50 plus years. We've closed our plants and factories and sent those jobs outside of our borders.

Due to our unfair, unjust, and one-sided foreign trade agreements and policies, and costly union labor, we've become unemployed, living off of government assistance programs, and are no longer a self-supporting citizenry, nor a self-supporting nation. Corporate greed and unpunished anti-America practices, has encouraged off-shore job out-sourcing, the importing of labor, and allowing millions of illegal immigrants to live and work in this country. In addition, technology, innovation, and automation has replaced many workers. Businesses are now able to produce more with less employees. Combined, the above has created an employers' market, resulting in lower wages and less company paid benefits offered.

The solutions would be to re-write our unfair, unjust, and one-sided foreign trade agreements and policies, so that they become fair, equal, and balanced foreign trade agreements and policies. We need to severely punish the off-shore out-sourcing of jobs, severely punish the importing of labor, and severely punish the hiring of illegal immigrants. We need to put America to work on much needed infrastructure projects. We need to invest enormous sums of money on R&D to develop alternative energy sources. Jobs are created through the demand for goods and services, and for R&D. We need to create a positive cash flow within our own economy via producing goods and services, encouraged and enabled by consumer spending. We need to wean ourselves of cheap foreign made goods, and stock store shelves with American made products.

We need a Congress and a president that puts America first, stops being puppets for Wall Street and corporate America, stops being controlled by Lobbyists and the financial institutions, and puts America's well-being and prosperity above all else. In other words, we need a pro-America government seated in Washington, serving the American citizenry.

The excuses never end with people like you do they?
Your "party" ran shitty candidates. And your candidates got their asses kicked not once. But twice.

Run better candidates if you Republicans would like to win the WH. What a novel idea.

Oh and get a ******* job and quit bitching about the economy.

We need to put America back to work, producing what America uses and consumes.

I agree 100%. But it ain't happenin'.

IF you ran a major corporation showing record or near record profits and a great deal of those profits was because you have access to cheap labor to build what ever it is the corporation builds, why would you want to change that situation?

Real rich people have been working to accomplish what they have (in regards to foreign labor) for a long time.
They have the power, the money and the politicians to fight against any move to bring jobs back to the USA with our higher labor costs.

Even Obama is supporting foreign trade agreements that hurts American workers.

Nah, until those low paid workers (in other countries) get pissed at their low pay and unionize, there will not be enough upward pressure on foreign wages to make those wages un attractive to our corporations. And have you noticed that our corporations really favor countries where there is little to no chance of a union forming?

Nah, the unions told us what was gonna happen. Ross Perot told us what was gonna happen. And yet the American people continued to vote in politicians that made those laws that made it easy to take those jobs out of the country. It's on us for doing that.

The only way to make it happen, other than us hitting the proverbial "rock bottom", is to educate voters so that they stop electing and re-electing professional politicians to serve in government. As long as professional politicians can keep us divided along party lines, we lose, they win. The worse fear of "The Washington Brotherhood", is a united citizenry. As long as we label ourselves Republican, Democrat, Independent, Conservative, Liberal, Right Wing, Left Wing, and anything other than Americans for America, they win, we lose. A divided citizenry stands no chance of equal, fair, and just representation in government.

American voters must learn that professional politicians are all about egos, power, influence, self-service, and climbing the political ladder at all cost. American voters must realize that once elected to office, professional politicians exert their will, and not the will of the people. We have a Lobbyist controlled U.S. Congress, and an oval office bought and paid for. By the time professional politicians take a seat in Washington, they owe many favors. The rich, the powerful, and the influential place the names on ballots. We're told what the choices are, we don't get to select the candidates. The only choices that we have on election day, is to choose between the ones that have been selected for us.

Yet, voters continue to play their game, play right into their hands, and expect a different result every single time. Voters elect the crooks to serve in government, then spend the next two to four years complaining. Go figure. Everything negative that we're seeing and experiencing in this once great nation, can be placed on the shoulders of the voters that continue, election after election, to vote the professional politicians into office. Professional politicians don't just waltz into Washington and take a seat, the voters put them there.

Voters are too busy blaming one party or the other, to realize that they're all the same, no difference between the parties. Professional politicians do what professional politicians do, and that is play "politics as usual" once in office. We have had both political parties holding the majority in Washington, through many administrations, yet look at where we are today. What we're seeing and experiencing, didn't just happen in the last decade or two. Our major problems have their roots as far back as the late 50's and early 60's. And, some of the problems can be traced back to shortly after WWII. But, voters block all of that out, and take joy and pleasure in blaming one party or the other for our many socioeconomic woes. Go figure.

Part-time jobs America s hidden unemployment crisis - Nov. 20 2014

Your link does not support your claim that one half of the 3 million jobs added last year were part time

Please try again

Part-time jobs America s hidden unemployment crisis - Nov. 20 2014
Seven million Americans are stuck in part-time jobs.
Overall U.S. unemployment has fallen steeply in the past year (from 7.2% in October 2013 to 5.8% in October 2014), but too many people can only find part-time positions.
The number of people working part-time involuntarily is more than 50% higher than when the recession began.

Still does not support your assertion that half the jobs added in 2014 were part time

Try again or just admit you were mistaken

Sorry but it does.
You need to get your biased opining out of it in order to see that.
I said that more than half of the new jobs are part time.
Not half of this years only new jobs are part time.

I don't know if it your math skills or you are just being obtuse

Here is what you quoted

The number of people working part-time involuntarily is more than 50% higher than when the recession began.

That does not mean that 50% of the new jobs were part time. If two in ten jobs are part time and it goes to three in ten that is 50% higher. It does not mean that 50% are part time

Wow, that's classicly funny. You correctly observed that she read it wrong, then you read it wrong. Can't make that shit up.

Actually, it says that for example if 1M were underemployed involuntarily before, then 1.5M are underemployed involuntarily now. It says, "the number of people."

No wonder you never answer questions, the first thing you will constantly show is you didn't understand the question. You should have stuck with that she read it wrong and quit while you were ahead.

What progressives with no business or economics experience can't seem to grasp is what the effect is when lawmakers even PROPOSE something like Cap & Trade legislation! All those people doing those cost analysis studies become paralyzed with uncertainty because they don't know what their costs are going to be two years down the road. They can't advise management to go ahead with expansion plans because they don't know what the playing field is going to look like in the future.

Cap and trade? That thing that was originally from the GOP?

Yeah, Business's ALWAYS have certainty in the lives, nothing ever surprises them. Their costs for insurance, labor, electrical, etc are always the same and never increases, lol

RECORD CORP PROFITS. LOWEST TAX BURDEN IN 40 YEARS. They can't go ahead? lol

You display an almost "stunning" lack of knowledge about how businesses operate, Dad! I can only surmise from your posts that you fall into one or two categories...either you have never worked at all and live at home in Mom and Dad's basement...or you have only had low level jobs that are not privy to business planning. With the amount of time you have to spend here...I lean towards the former.

So NO you can't refute FACT instead you'll go with ad homs. Shocking

"The greatest evils in our industrial system to-day are those which rise from the abuses of aggregated wealth; and our great problem is to overcome these evils and cut out these abuses. No one man can deal with this matter. It is the affair of the people as a whole. When aggregated wealth demands what is unfair, its immense power can be met only by the still greater power of the people as a whole, exerted in the only way it can be exerted, through the Government;..."
- Teddy Roosevelt 1910

You don't rely on "facts", Dad! You distort what's factual to fit your naive and uninformed views and then spam disinformation! You're the very ESSENCE of an internet "troll".

A divided citizenry stands no chance of equal, fair, and just representation in government.

And there in lies the reason there is so much effort to keep us divided.
We live in a plutocracy. If you are not a plutocrat then you are a subject to be manipulated.

What we need is a strong dose of populism. Ain't gonna happen either. But it's what we need.

Plutocracy, government of the rich, by the rich, for the rich. It's not the worst form of government to live under. You just gotta know what will happen and how to work the system to the best of your abilities.

But to think that we the people will come together to stop plutocrats from serving their own interests first, I don't think that is going to happen. Unfortunately.

You come on here with utter nonsense from sites like "The Peoples View" and post their head in the sand propaganda like it's gospel. Why even bother? Do you REALLY think you change anyone's mind (who's not as big an idiot as you?) with cut and pastes from a site like that one?
