there has been NO JOB CREATING since NIGGERCARE passed

Old and Busted: The White House Will Soon Be Creating 500,000 Jobs A Month

New Hotness: The White House Does Not Create Jobs

Joe Biden, April 23, 2010:

"All in all we're going to be creating somewhere between 100[,000] and 200,000 jobs next month, I predict," Biden said, according to a pool report, adding that he "got in trouble" for a job growth prediction last month. "Even some in the White House said, 'Hey, don't get ahead of yourself.' Well, I'm here to tell you, some time in the next couple of months, we're going to be creating between 250,000 jobs a month and 500,000 jobs a month."

Jay Carney, August 3, 2011:

“The White House doesn’t create jobs,” Carney said, adding “the government, together — White House, Congress — creates policies that allow for greater job creation.”

You know who creates jobs though? And who therefore should get the blame, should jobs not be created?

Congress. Note that just after claiming the White House doesn't create jobs, Carney demands that Congress create some jobs.

This is really a slip of the tongue, I imagine. But having laid down the marker that the White House doesn't really create jobs (refuting all the previous WH statements about "saving or creating" jobs), he starts speaking of Congress creating jobs.




He is working very closely with his senior economic advisers to come up with new proposals to help advance growth and job creation. He is working with members of Congress to help advance growth and job creation. And he will continue to do that. There are things that Congress can do now to create jobs, and they should. There are things that Congress will be able to do when they return from recess to help create jobs and spur growth, and they should. And he looks forward to working with Congress to do that.

Odd, isn't it, that when there are jobs being created -- or at least predicted to be created -- it's the White House creating them.

But when no jobs are being created, that's not the White House's problem.

After all, it's Congress that creates jobs.

Thanks to soothie for the Biden quote.

We have been pretending – with ever more manic protestations – that this could go on for ever. Even when it became clear that European state pensions (and the US social security system) were gigantic Ponzi schemes in which the present beneficiaries were spending the money of the current generation of contributors, and that health provision was creating impossible demands on tax revenue, and that benefit dependency was becoming a substitute for wealth-creating employment, the lesson would not be learnt. We have been living on tick and wishful thinking.

So what are the most important truths we should be addressing if we are to avert – or survive – the looming catastrophe? Raising retirement ages across Europe (not just in Greece) is imperative, as is raising thresholds for out-of-work benefit entitlements.

Lowering the tax burden for both wealth-creators and consumers is essential. In Britain, finding private sources of revenue for health care is a matter of urgency.

A general correction of the imbalance between wealth production and wealth redistribution is now a matter of basic necessity, not ideological preference.

The hardest obstacle to overcome will be the idea that anyone who challenges the prevailing consensus of the past 50 years is irrational and irresponsible. That is what is being said about the Tea Partiers. In fact, what is irrational and irresponsible is the assumption that we can go on as we are.

Gitmo was not as ready to close as we expected.
”Affordable Health Care” was not as affordable as we expected.

Fuck all that noise. I went out and created one. Find a need which needs to be filled and create a small bizness to fill the need.


I have decided to unshackle myself and remove my own hobnailed cruel boot of tyrannical oppression from my own neck and let myself have the day of rest that Gawadah has decreedah. Such as is left of it, of course.

Then send them a fruit basket for allowing you the framework in which to create a job, and a brief explanation of how you went about it so they can close the fruit-loop hole...

paying more in taxes doesn't make you a better person! we must slow down the government spending. less government workers, lower wages, make government workers pay more for health insurance and "pension"

religion has tried to teach people that they can buy his or her way into heaven

Why do Liberals always want to compare us to countries they don't have the balls to move to. Why do they pretend there is some kind of equivalency between us and them.

They wouldn't have the freedom to bitch so much in another country.

 

[Sean Renaud]

Why do Liberals always want to compare us to countries they don't have the balls to move to. Why do they pretend there is some kind of equivalency between us and them.

Because Conservatives keep claiming our taxes are too high and that's demonstrably false. There is an equivalency between us, they pay more than we do ergo your idea that we pay so much in taxes that it's causing business to flee is provably bullshit.

Are you talking about corporate tax rates as written or rates actually paid? GE should have paid 35% tax last year and they paid 9.6%. Or something like that. Exxon, which is the most profitable company America has ever known, paid almost nothing. Should GE and Exxon pay less? Is their tax burden too high?
