Republican Budget cuts will cost 1 million Americans their jobs

[Avorysuds]

Are you willing to be one of one million to lose your job to pay a small price? No you are not, so shut the hell up, of course you Republitards are willing to sacrifice other people's jobs but not yours and your cronies.

Where do you think the money comes from to pay the bureaucrat, you bloody twit?

YOU answer the ******* question you ******* political infant! WHERE will you get the money to buy these votes? Your question is bull shit, made up on the spot worthless and pointless crap... Reality is many on these boards’ liberal/conservative/whatever have lost their jobs but, WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO GET THE MONEY TO BUY VOTES FROM UNIONS? That’s the only question that matters here.

Why do you feel everyone else that works hard should lose their job except the people that ARE the problem (Government)? YOU hate the workers of the world, not us. YOU want “more of the same,” not us. WE are willing to correct the problem while you’re scared of hurting peoples feeling so you advocate and support drastic increases to the core of the problem.

I always say FRD was awesome unless you had to live under him as a joke… Looks like well get to see what it’s like to not have a job unless Government is supporting it. People can starve in the streets unless Government feeds them…

First Obama was like Clinton and Lincon… Now he’s like Reagan, next FDR… Oh **** I can’t wait for another vastly prolonged depression that only recovers the year Hoover/FDR’s, er, I mean, Obama/Bush’s policies are repealed.

Can't answer the question monkey? I'll ask again, are you willing to lose and or give up *YOUR* job to pay a "small price" for the larger picture? You monkeys don't put yourselves in the shoes of others but expect people to make sacrifices that you wouldn't make.

It seems some Guberment workers figured once they hired on with the Guberment, that meant they HAD their jobs FOR LIFE and the hell with the TAXPAYERS who pay salaries.

Other companies DOWNSIZE or go out of business all the time and PEOPLE lose their jobs.

It seems these folks are ABLE to go out and find OTHER JOBS.

Oh yeah, they will find other jobs. Life ain't over. Only thing I see wrong is making these tiny cuts isn't going to make 13 Trillion disappear. The Retards are playing you for a fool, and these cuts prolly won't cover the interest. They are Losers................

Do dah fuzzy math. This is the annual interest for 2011: Fiscal Year Total $169,361,712,628.99

So not making the cuts eliminates the 13+ Trillion HOW???

It is a start and MORE should be cut.. there should be more of an elimination of government jobs... if the services cut are truly wanted or 'needed' business will find a space and try and cover the 'need'... hence the creation of jobs... and 'experienced' people within that field would then be faced with a market of jobs with choices...

I work for the damn DoD is support of our troops, please explain to me how the hell *I* am part of the problem that contributed to the debt jackass? What exactly do you know about federal employees except the crap that rightwing talking points put out? We as federal employees pay taxes, pay for our own health insurance and contribute to our own pensions, look for some other damn place to cut you dumb monkey. Start with eliminating those tax cuts for the rich and the top 1%, they've been getting richer and richer and have you monkeys brainwashed into thinking federal employees are the problem, even though we are *NOT* the ones getting richer and fatter year after year.

You want to stop the dam deficit? Eliminate the tax cuts for the rich and corporate tax cuts, let every damn body suffer, including those who are getting richer and richer without trickling down a damn thing.

You're time is over, get ready for it. Like the rest of the world you soon might get dumped on your ass and maybe then you will understand why your policy sucks, it's unsustainable.

Yeah bud, it was the Bush tax cuts that caused all of this LOL! What is the deficit this year, all because of that damn Bush tax cuts huh?

Man, if only the rest of the US could say “Hey **** you man, cut jobs from someone else!” What a weird and simpleminded world you live in. Look no further as with you it’s “all about me.”

Eliminating measures that reduce taxes on some (who still will reduce the deficit and pay the majority in total and %) will reduce the deficit??

If really want to "make everyone suffer"... make everyone pay the same exact amount on every dollar earned, no exception.... just keep the tax rate high... like the 38% you all love on the 'evil rich'

Crawl back in your hole, you racist S.O.B.

Well, Mr. Speaker, I do. I checked with budget expert Scott Lilly of the Center for American Progress, and, using the usual multipliers, he calculated that the cuts - a net of $59 billion in the last half of fiscal 2011 - would lead to the loss of 650,000 government jobs, and the indirect loss of 325,000 more jobs as fewer government workers travel and buy things. That's nearly 1 million jobs - possibly enough to tip the economy back into recession

Recession means the economy is contracting, which means it's producing less. Government produces nothing. Therefore, government jobs produce no economic value. Therefore, the idea that eliminating any number of government jobs could cause a recession is just economically clueless. Liberalism is a religion, it's the only way to explain concocting clueless arguments like this.

 

[boedicca]

I think it would be great if we got rid of 1 million worthless government jobs, and then let the private sector keep the money so it could invest in real jobs. Then perhaps we'd generate enough to overcome the 7M lost due this Big Government Financial Crisis Obamanation.

You mean people working those jobs don't spend any of their money?

What do they do with it, stuff it in their mattresses?

 

[GHook93]

Well liberal polices have cost 10 million private sector jobs that PAY THE SALARIES OF THE PUBLIC SECTOR WORKERS!!!

If we remain status quo, those policies will cost 50 million private sector jobs and the government will be bankrupt!

"So be it."

That was House Speaker John Boehner's cold answer when asked Tuesday about job losses that would come from his new Republican majority's plans to cut tens of billions of dollars in government spending this year.

"Do you have any sort of estimate on how many jobs will be lost through this?" Pacifica Radio's Leigh Ann Caldwell inquired at a news conference just before the House began its debate on the cuts.

Boehner stood firm in his polished tassel loafers. "Since President Obama has taken office the federal government has added 200,000 new federal jobs, and if some of those jobs are lost in this, so be it," he said.

"Do you have any estimate of how many will?" Caldwell pressed. "And won't that negatively impact the economy?"

"I do not," Boehner replied, moving to the next questioner.

Well, Mr. Speaker, I do. I checked with budget expert Scott Lilly of the Center for American Progress, and, using the usual multipliers, he calculated that the cuts - a net of $59 billion in the last half of fiscal 2011 - would lead to the loss of 650,000 government jobs, and the indirect loss of 325,000 more jobs as fewer government workers travel and buy things. That's nearly 1 million jobs - possibly enough to tip the economy back into recession.

So be it?

I pay their salary I can fire them. That's what happens when corporations can't afford employees any longer.

The government should be no different.

OK, fair question honestly asked. If a worker works in the private sector, then they are helping their company produce a product or service that creates a profit, that profit is growth in the economy. They earn a salary, which they spend. But remember their salary came out of the economy as well, so their spending it puts it back into the economy, but it is not a net gain for the economy. The fact that their job helped their company take inputs, add value and output something of greater value did.

In the case of a government worker, their salary comes out of the economy, but they do not do a job which grows the economy, which means that the best they could ever have is a zero impact on the economy since the money taken to pay their salary is taken out of the economy to start with. So to even not harm the economy, you would have to assume zero waste. That government doesn't waste money is in fact preposterous. So government jobs do in reality do nothing but harm the economy.

Again, that removing government workers from the economy could harm it is an impossible contradiction. There is no economic value created.

But what about their value as human beings with the same needs and wants as private sector workers? Does that not fator into the equation?

I was challenging the statement that cutting one million jobs could cause a recession and showing that is not possible economically. Their value as human beings is a completely different discussion.

We taxpayers don't OWE you guberment leeches a damn thing, not even your job. We are sick of carrying a lot of your dead asses around.
The only ones I OWE ANYTHING to is our MILITARY MEN AND WOMEN. They and their families sacrifice way more than you office sitting lard asses who do nothing all day.
And I know from experience, I worked for the Sec. of State of Illinois.

Now you all better start looking for WORK.
