    Natural Born Job Killers: Why Republicans Are Afraid to Reveal Their Job Creation Ideas

    And this is why it is so problematic to elect folks that will continue to look out mainly for the wealthy in this country and offer them plenty of tax breaks while throwing the rest of Americans under the bus and leaving them on the outside looking in. Things don't change do they? Large corporations continue to enjoy the benefits they have grown accustomed to with Conservatives in office while the Middle Class and the poor continue to struggle facing even harder times due to inaction to help them out of the American quandary with regard to things that truly matter to the working class.

    Oh you must be talking about the bills that do nothing to help the Middle Class, Minorities, Women, the Elderly, and the Poor that Senator Reid could not in good conscience proceed with.

    The first 15 bills are designed to reduce Government Red Tape and allow businesses to grow and hire more people are already in Harry "Do Nothing" Reid's hands. You'll need to ask him why he's holding up these important "jobs" bills.

    My god, lying really is a Democrat strategy. Is it taught in junior high now, Mello? We've seen what the leftists can do, haven't we? More on welfare. Most workers quitting the workforce in 36 years.

    "(CNSNews.com) - A record 92,269,000 Americans 16 and older did not participate in the labor force in August, as the labor force participation rate matched a 36-year low of 62.8 percent, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics."
    http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article...-force-participation-rate-matches-36-year-low

    "Welfare rolls, which were slow to rise and actually fell in many states early in the recession, now are climbing across the country for the first time since President Bill Clinton signed legislation pledging "to end welfare as we know it" more than a decade ago."
    http://online.wsj.com/articles/SB124562449457235503

    Since we've seen what the leftists can do they desperate to distract. Oh, and I notice once again that right before an election the unemployment rate drops. If the leftists run true to form there should be an "oopsie" right after the election with the unemployment rate being "corrected". For the leftists, lying is job one because the truth bites them in the ass.

    I've asked more than a few of those on the right to come up with a bill that passed the House but was stalled in the Senate that would create jobs or do other good things for the country. You're the first one who did, so thanks for that. Anyway, I took at the first one on your list and checked as to why the Dem Senate put that one in the back of a dark closet. Turns out that while we talk about 'poison pills' in some legislation, this one is really about poison - that is, the Republican legislation would limit the EPA's authority to issue permits for certain pesticides. Put another way, not everyone is on board with clean water. I'm not going to go any further, as I suspect I'll find similar roadblocks in every other one on your list.

    Open up the KXL pipeline.

    Reduce energy costs.

    Enjoy.

    Pretty simple. Must be an obstructionist Republican in there somewhere blocking this job bonanza from taking place.

    Perhaps you would like to explain to us why do you think it should be the governments job to keep a majority of society sucking off the government teat, how does that help our country? There is a difference between a safety net and a lifestyle, you liberals have never figured that one out.

    There in lies your problem, the only jobs government create are government jobs, and who pays for that? Those of us that actually work for a living

    Governments only job creator should be to get out of the way and make sure the playing field is available and level. The government doesn't create jobs, businesses do

    And the next bill eliminates regulation on greenhouse gasses. And the one after that would eliminate Net neutrality. So pretty clear, what we have is a bunch of bills bought by special interests that will do nothing for jobs but will increase corporate profits and destroy the environment.

    Actually this is just another classic example of mindless repetition of Conservative talking points. In the United States as in almost every country a significant number of people do work in government jobs. Here is a link by states of the percentage of people employed by the government.

    http://www.gallup.com/poll/141785/gov-employment-ranges-ohio.aspx

    If you don't want to follow the link the survey shows 15 or higher percent in almost every state.

    Exactly, these are the same liberals that you can read right here on PF arguing that EBT cards can be used for lobster and lap dances. Their argument, "its their money they can do whatever they want with it" These people walk amongst us.
    What helps the middle class is jobs. These leftists say one thing and do the exact opposite, then have the audacity to ask what have the GOP done to create jobs as they have essentially created an environment in which it is cheaper to get apples off a tree in China, made into apple juice, packaged, shipped on a fricken boat.......again all the way from china than it is to get them here from our own fully capable orchards. These people have destroyed what little jobs there are out there through over-regulation and ensuring the "evil" companies are taxed into leaving the nation. They don't grasp the fact that India and China are not bound by the same rules and therefore can produce things faster and cheaper than we can. They are creating the jobs we are losing. Its simply cheaper to do business outside of the U.S. Burger King even packed up and left to get away from them. Look at the items in your home, how many say made in the U.S.A?

    What is clear is that is your opinion. Please post a study that supports your opinion of what you say will happen?

    So tell me how that creates jobs?

    I will never understand the liberal mindset. It has failed time and time again. The Great Society created by liberals under president Johnson, has not done anything except spend $4 trillion from our government tax dollars by putting 50% of America on the government teat

    For 6-1/2 years we have been led by the 'enlightened' liberal democrats. For 6-1/2 years the Stock Market, that feeding trough of the wealthy, has flourished as never before as the "middle class and poor continue to struggle facing even harder times". Where do you get off blaming non-existent "conservatives in office"? Today's large corporations are enjoying the benefits levied out by Democrats and the Obama administration. ( by the way, most "Large corporations which you liberal Democrats love to hate so, are owned by Democrats.)

    If you notice the evolution of welfare. It went from welfare to assistance, and is now called entitlement. It went from a temporary status designed to help people who have fallen on hard times to a way of life which essentially pays people to sit at home who don't want to work OR due to the extreme cost of healthcare have actually made it a easier life for people to not work and get welfare than actually get up and go to work. Why would people work all week to just barely cover healthcare when they can quit get welfare, get free healthcare and have the day to yourself. The answer is they wouldn't and they don't. I just got a bonus and 49% of it went to Uncle Sam. This after I worked numerous 80hr weeks to get the job done. I didn't even get so much as a thank you from anyone on the left or a smidgeon of vaseline. You lefties out there are 1% away from me deciding that it is no longer worth my time to work my ass off to pay for your lap dances and starkest tuna for your cats anymore.

    Laughable. Reid wont let anything come up for vote that would give any credit to the Republicans even if it had house Dem support. All while calling the other side "obstructionists"...

    Keep up the propaganda....

    Well, it appears that the only kind of job creation bill for the left is another entitlement program of some kind or more government interference into actual job creation with arbitrary regulations designed to punish job creators. Emiril Lagasse recently complained that the only restaurants that will be able to survive under the current regulations are the very successful or chains. Start-ups have so many hurdles to climb that it is becoming impossible to stay in business. Of course the left wants to make that worse by dictating pay scales.

    That makes no sense. They are jobs so obviously they have been created.

    Nothing would please me more than having you quit work, kick back and enjoy the good life on the public dole. I mean, why not? It's free and easy; sit around, watch TV, hang out with similar layabouts, grab a few beers, have lobster for dinner - nothin' to it right? :roflol:

    I will disagree with your last sentence. I work for a large US based global corporation and it has been shedding jobs the last couple of years with a fairly large layoff just last month. One can guess they are gearing up for the Employee mandate of Obamacare due next year. It is hard to compete in a sluggish economy and they are starting to put more effort in overseas competition.

    The key word in your post is "guess". Either you know what is happening where you work or you don't!
