    LOL, you don't have to be a CEO to understand what is going on. Obamacare is a job killer, another one of those 'job creation' bills from the left.

    That's what the people tell me who are doing it. I know a girl that laughs at people that work for a living. The lingo is "you just gotta know the gimmicks"

    We know the right wing talking points.

    There are no bills sitting on the President's desk. Bills don't go to the President until after they are passed by Congress.

    Evidently you cut civic the day they told you how Congress works.

    A job killer?

    Hummm......I wonder why unemployment keeps going DOWN.

    But, Grizz, he's not a liberal. You don't get it, do you? I know you were being sarcastic but you're still enabling those parasites who don't want to work.

    The sluggish economy is barely getting better but we also have a record amount of people leaving the job market for good. When that happens, the unemployment percent always goes down.

    Hmmmm....I wonder why we have the highest amount of people living off entitlements ever?

    So you really don't know why jobs are being eliminated. How convenient for your efforts to blame everything on Obama. Maybe the company you work for is actually doing what it is supposed to do which is maximize profits which is certainly a position you as a Republican should endorse.

    So tell us exactly how much money she makes and from what sources. What gimmicks is she using to survive. Details, details.

    Oh, I endorse companies to survive under an authoritarian government for sure. The jobs are being eliminated because the bottom line has to be held. But of course it means fewer people working and more on entitlements, the left wing jobs plan.

    It's "down" yet we have more people on welfare. Weird how that works. You do know a whole bunch of people have stopped looking. Read everything not just the headline. The lie lies in the details.

    So maximizing corporate profits is now a left wing idea. Who knew!

    So you just made it up. Why not just admit that.

    Government is ripe with redundancy when it comes to government jobs. Try again, tell me what jobs government does that produces anything but more debt?

    I think they have, there are at least ten Republican Passed House bills concerning job creation sitting in Senator Harry Reid's top left hand drawer that he tabled that will never be brought before the senate for debate and a vote on. Now whether one likes what is in these bills or not is up to the individual and political party member. But to say the Republicans haven't revealed their ideas on job creation is bogus. They have done so and put their ideas into bills that were passed by the House. Now why we don't see those ideas or hear the debates on those ideas you can ask Senator Harry Reid. If you watched C-Span, you could have seen the debates on these job creation bills in the House and have a pretty good idea of what is in them.

    But bringing these passed bills up in the senate for debate and a vote would fit into the mantra the Democrats are spilling as the Republicans are making this congress a do nothing congress. In fact there are over 200 House passed bills Reid has tabled, over 30 of them were sponsored by House Democrats and were passed.

    You are changing your talking points in a vain attempt to disguise the fact that government does create jobs as amply demonstrated by the link I provided. As a example of government jobs there is always the military which I assume you think is necessary? Then there is Homeland Security, Then Immigration and Naturalization which most Repubs want expanded for more border security. Then there are police forces in every state and town. Then there is the Food and Drug Administration. Etc, etc, Of course if you want to eliminate all the previous government jobs an interesting discussion could occur.

    Wasn't THAT an astounding statement!(the bolded above) :roll:
    The Profit -is-Our-Only-God crowd claiming it's a left wing idea ! Just suggest that CEO wages come down to hold that bottom line keeping workers in their jobs and watch the right wing start howling :)

    Jobs:

    1) Why did they leave?
    2) How do we get them to come back?

    These are the questions to be answered. I will 100% guarantee that keeping corporate taxes and regulations the same or increasing them will make sure that #2 will not happen, unless the places they went to become less attractive than here.

    The republicans idea is very simple. If you want more jobs you have to provide the people making jobs with the ability and incentive to do so.

    This is also the consensus on other sources as well. Yes there are some big biz(s) that are republican supporters, but a hell of a lot support the democrats. Walmart's big, the Koch's are big, granted....Microsoft, Apple, The Entertainment industry are big too...and democrat. You guys seem to be under the impression that only the poor and underpriviledged ad bleeding heart liberals constitute the Democrat Party.
    This could interest you. Or maybe you just don't want to face the reality of it??

    Typical lack of understanding how business works. Seems that liberals are always angry about something and only wish to destroy it instead of building wealth for everyone other than entitlements of course.

    We well know that there are plenty of rich liberal businesses that support liberal candidates (they also contribute to conservative candidates) to gain favor from government. Look at all the businesses that have benefited by being friends of Obama.

    :roflol: Ya, we're soooo confused, we think some of that wealth should've "trickled down" to average Americans but for years it's been gushing up to the 1%.
    Executive wages have risen steadily for years while middle class wages have been dropping......how has that helped the economy?

    You may "well know", which is what's most frustrating. Knowing well doesn't enter into most liberals conversations. [Sure, we know that Democrats are as much to blame as Republicans for the disparity in wealth, But we prefer to 'pretend' that they don't] [Sure we know that many Democrats (and liberals) are uber rich 1%ers that profit from Wall Street, but we prefer to 'pretend' they don't exist] It's your fantasy..people that don't share it and see you wallowing in denial have a hard time taking you liberals seriously. You're like so much white noise in the background. We know that you know, (or should anyway) so when references to 'Rich Republicans' shows up in one of you assaults. Time to tune out. It's ideological babble that plays only to your own crowd..

    You open a thread by referring to Rep's refusing to address job creation and quote Obama touting the following;
    1) “raising the minimum wage,
    2) enacting fair pay,
    3) refinancing student loans,
    4) extending unemployment insurance for the unemployed.

    Now, please tell us how any of those 4 things addresses job creation? Go ahead, give it shot.
    And then when you're done, please layout Obama's job creation program, or Reid's, or Pelosi's. They do have one, right? I mean, a specific plan, not some panned pie in sky promise of some "new green" economy, but an actual plan that will promote private sector expansion, investment and long term growth based on todays economic realties. So, lets hear it.
