YAAY! What an idea. Are these guys smart or what? Uh … well, the Republicans favored more jobs last week. Here’s the difference: Republicans are running on “lies TO BE fulfilled.” Democrats are stuck with”lies ALREADY fulfilled.”
In 2009, Obama said if his stimulus package was passed, unemployment would not rise above 8% – and by 2012 it would fall below 6% (“Of course I’ll respect you in the morning!”)
Today, 12.8 million Americans are unemployed, 8.2 million cannot find enough work, and 1.1 million have given up looking altogether. Unemployment still remains way above 8%.
Romney says he’ll create jobs with an economic climate “better for business” and he’ll keep corporate tax cuts in place. (“The check is in the mail.”)
Of course, if these tax cuts “worked,” wouldn’t companies have already created more jobs in the last 5 or 6 years? And if there was an easy solution to unemployment, wouldn’t we have tried it by now?
The sad fact is neither of these nitwits – no matter what they promise you – can create jobs out of thin air because we’re in a WORLDWIDE economic recession. This country can never compete globally in manufacturing unless our people worked for coolie wages and no benefits. And dividing up huge executive salaries won’t even buy the average American family dessert for a week.
