Bye Bye Repubs, we need to get people willing to work on the jobs problem into office.
We've had people working for 2 years on "jobs" and you say nothing.
6 months of Republicans in the House only and you're ready to toss them under the bus ?
LOL..you partisans keep waiting for those elected official to create jobs for you. The government is laying off, not creating jobs.
Does it not happen with any major recession? (BTW, 2001 wasn't a major recession by any measure, it was recovery from it that was a problem).
Ummmm, re read my post.
No, the WTC isnt destroyed in every recession.

Doh!! After he was elected Obama was whining that banks weren't lending to folks with poor credit ratings, they tightened their standards. I think you added something other than milk to your Wheaties this morning.

2.2 mill in last 16 months is a help, but we need 8 mill and the Repubs to act on existing bills that will help and create new ones that will help. So far in 6 mos what, other than abortion bills, has come out? Oh, kill Medicare, forgot that one.
I agree that they shouldn't necessarily be protected from the recession. But that's different than saying it's "good news" when someone is laid off. It's never good news when someone is laid off. these people have families to feed and bills to pay, just like private sector workers. We're not "someone else". We're not leeches. We're actually Americans too, believe it or not.
This is what I mean when I ask why so many conservatives hate government employees.
Actually I do hate govt employees. When they shut down state governments with their protests, to protect their precious benefits, I think they deserve the hate.
No, it's not good news when anyone is laid off. But those same govt employees shed not ONE TEAR for the lost private sector jobs. They just clutched tighter to their sense of entitlement. 'Bout time they shared the sacrifice.
Why do liberals think that govt employees should be immune to job layoffs?
39K is a tiny percentage of govt employment - how many of those were actual layoffs and how many were just attrition?
