<-- sched 2, MJ sched 1
so when obama said recently that we have experienced job growth....he was lying...? seems that to me
Stupid. "Outlaw" it if, and only if, there is a replacement. However, even if we don't need the oil, others will.
If you really want to get off the oil teat, use NG for our travel needs, use oil only for plastics, use coal and/or nuclear for power needs. We could be off the teat in years rather than decades, and we know it actually exists, it isn't just wishes.

The June employment report reflected the planned phase out of 225,000 temporary Census jobs, but it also showed the sixth straight month of job growth in the private sector.
All told, our economy has created nearly 600,000 private sector jobs this year.
That’s a stark turnaround from the first six months of last year, when we lost 3.7 million jobs at the height of the recession.
Now, make no mistake, we are headed in the right direction.
But as I was reminded on a trip to Racine, Wisconsin, earlier this week, we’re not headed there fast enough for a lot of Americans.
We’re not headed there fast enough for me, either.
The recession dug us a hole of about 8 million jobs deep, and we continue to fight headwinds from volatile global markets.
So, we still have a great deal of work to do to repair the economy and get the American people back to work.
That’s why we’re continuing a relentless effort across multiple fronts to keep this recovery moving, and I’d like to make a quick announcement regarding new infrastructure investments under the Recovery Act, investments that will create private sector jobs and make America more competitive.
Secretary Locke and Secretary Vilsack have joined me to announce that the Departments of Commerce and Agriculture will invest in 66 new projects across America that will finally bring reliable broadband Internet service to communities that currently have little or no access.
In the short term, we expect these projects to create about 5,000 construction and installation jobs around the country, and once we emerge from the immediate crisis, the long-term economic gains to communities that have been left behind in the digital age will be immeasurable.
All told, these investments will benefit tens of millions of Americans, more than 685,000 businesses, 900 health care facilities, and 2,400 schools around the country, and studies have shown that when communities adopt broadband access, it can lead to hundreds of thousands of new jobs.
Broadband can remove geographic barriers between patients and their doctors.
It can connect our kids to the digital skills and 21st century education required for the jobs of the future, and it can prepare America to run on clean energy by helping us upgrade to a smarter, stronger, more secure electrical grid.
So we’re investing in our people and we’re investing in their future.
We’re competing aggressively to make sure that jobs and industries and the markets of tomorrow take root right here in the United States.
We’re moving forward, and to every American who is looking for work, I promise you we are going to keep on doing everything that we can.
I will do everything in my power to help our economy create jobs and opportunity for all people.
Now, Sunday is the Fourth of July, and if that date reminds us of anything, it’s that America has never backed down from a challenge.
We’ve faced our share of tough times before.
But in such moments, we don’t flinch.
We dig deeper, we innovate, we compete and we win.
That's in our DNA, and it’s going to be what brings us through these tough times towards a brighter day.
So I want to say happy Fourth of July to everybody.
I want our troops overseas to know that we are thinking of your bravery and grateful for your service.
Thank you very much, everybody.

Why would you hope that we never return to the longest peacetime prosperity in the history of the nation?
If you are for the rise of small business, you elected the wrong president, this one wants to increase the taxes of the small businessman.
No, cheerleading doesn't work.... What we KNOW works, is to lower taxes and create an incentive for small businesses to grow and expand. Again, you elected the wrong president for that.
Everything this clown has done, is counterproductive to stimulating business. Nearly a trillion dollars have been 'pumped' into the economy through bailouts and payoffs, with you and the rest of the liberals promising us that this "stimulus" would jump start our economy and bring us back to prosperity, and it hasn't worked, just as you were told it wouldn't work.
Now, let me explain to your dumb little ass, what is about to transpire... Come November, all the politicians who supported stimulus spending and have gone along with this little scheme, whether repub or dem, are going to be sent home permanently. Unless Obama does a complete reversal, and makes the Bush tax cuts permanent (he won't), then he will also be sent packing in 2012. In fact, at this point, Obama is going to have to practically transform himself into Ronald Regan to save his job.
No, cheerleading doesn't work, but maybe what WILL work, is replacing incompetent politicians with people who understand business and how to make it grow in the private sector? ...We'll try that!

So, look, these are incredibly challenging times for America, especially for families who’ve been hurt by this recession, and, you know, one of the things that I’ve tried to do is always be straight with you when I was running and as President.
The problems we face aren’t going to go away overnight.
No President, no politician, has the power to make that happen.

So I want everybody to understand, this debate that we’re having in Washington is not about big government or small government.
It’s about responsible government.
It’s about accountable government.
It’s about whose side government is on.
It should be on the side of the American people.
A government that breaks down barriers to opportunity and prosperity.
That’s the kind of government we need.
That’s the kind of government I’m trying to give you.
