Hey big money.
What would you do to create jobs?
What would you do to create jobs?
I didn't promise to create any, did I?

Do you want jobs to be created?
Freddy Figbottom
Was it me?
Not really. But if you don't really care about the issue, you seem like a disingenuous fuckstick.
Freddy Figbottom
Was it me?
Yes. Im not a liberal. Im looking for actual solutions, not playing rhetorical partisan games like you.
If you don't actually care about jobs, you really do seem like a shallow disingenuous partisan 'tard.

I would vote for people who know how things work instead of the ideologues running things now.
Are you under the impression that jobs are created by government?

Since conservatives have ruined our economy thru outsourcing and their belief in slave labor I believe it's the government's obligation to provide jobs and a basic standard of living to workers. Here's an idea...
The Job Guarantee: A Government Plan for Full Employment
There is no economic demand more urgent than putting Americans back to work. The government can do this by creating an “employer of last resort” program.

I know that thinking outside the box is not a conservative forte and right wingers believe society = socialism and want to take this country back to the 1840's as far as labor is concerned but this is one area where their black and white thinking just doesn't work.
Freddy Figbottom
Was it me?
No. They're created by corporations who also give a shit about the viability of the countries in which they operate. Outsourcing everything they can for short term profit is not this.
Freddy Figbottom
Was it me?
Yes. Obama is a liar or a failure or both. Have you got some better ideas or do you just whine?
I knew that already.
Freddy Figbottom
Was it me?
Yeah, me too, but lets move on. What would you do? We need solutions, not the blame game.

Maybe if we had conservatives who weren't toadies to the Koch brothers and foreign investors we might be able to bring this country back from the Great Republican Recession...
GOP Goes On Record Against Jobs (Again)
OCTOBER 12, 2011
How Many American Jobs Did Your Senator Vote Against?
Yesterday evening, every single Republican senator and two Democrats — Sens. Ben Nelson (NE) and Jon Tester (MT) — voted against taking up the president’s jobs plan. Even though the plan enjoyed the support of 51 senators — a majority — it failed to advance because of the GOP’s filibuster.

with regard to jobs and wage stagnation and poverty and so on, the problem is that conservatives deny empirical reality. This gives us people like Paul Ryan, for example, who genuinely seems to believe, in the face of the mountains of evidence about how the social safety net and federal entitlements have saved millions from lives of far worse destitution, that all government can do is make slaves of people. That’s bad enough.
But now, we have conservatives who accept enough empirical reality to agree that public investment is not a crime against nature, but who deny the political reality that the Republican Party stands in the way of progress. This may actually be worse. The only hope of changing Washington for the better is getting a Republican Party in which there are enough legislators who act like legislators again and who are willing to cross party lines occasionally for the sake of governance and the country. If conservative intellectuals keep pretending this isn’t a problem, there is no hope that it will change.

Hey conservatives, lead, follow or get the fuck out of the way.
