So rather than, oh, say pass a law to boost employment or do anything about the job situation, the GOP's plan is to pass a law that will show how bad it's really gotten to pin the blame on Obama?
Conservatives got in power almost 18 months ago and THIS is the ONLY thing on the jobs front you can think of?
Here's a little hint.
You know all those tax cuts the rich have been getting? What happened BEFORE all those tax cuts? Top earners were hit with a 91% tax rate. So rather than take the money and run, like what happens today, they REINVESTED in it their COMPANY and GREW IT. Either their company got it or the tax man did! Which meant new factories and jobs and increasing workers wages to remain competitive.
So, when we gave tax cuts to the rich, we cut our own throats vis a vie jobs.
Trying to pin the jobs picture on Obama alone don't fly when 700,000 JOBS A MONTH were fleeing this country when BushCo left office. You think you turn around hiring on a dime?
And hey...low grade morons.
Banks now hold 70% of the oil futures contracts in this country.
Do you think banks use that oil to wash their money in?
No, they're buying it, driving up the price and making a tidy sum and who pays? We all do.
Oh and republicans voted to not raise the budget of the oversight body that controls oil speculation.
So, if you complain about high gas prices and vote republican, you have no one to blame but yourselves.
