Rightists have no answers other than spouting the same old TOTALLY false and UTTERLY disproved propaganda they heard in high school and on the Rush Limbaugh show.

The american right gives whole new meaning to the old saying "there are none so blind as those who will not see" .

Obama inherited this mess, your idol Bush caused the trouble, and Obama is trying to slow the momentum of falling job rates from Bush's wonderful ideas.

Oh, but tax cuts for the rich create demand, say the right wingers...
Thats not a contradiction at all.. In order to pay the $10 an hour, it needs to be given from the employer, thereby they dont have it..

The private sector can exist without the public sector, (and indeed did for many years), can the public sector exist without the private?

You must have missed all of those YEARS of 5% unemployment levels. Were you still sitting on unemployment at the time?

Must only have been a coincidence that the unemployment numbers dropped as tax cuts were passed..
Where can I find the unemployment rate for previous years?
Yep, just a coincidence...

Now prove to me that tax cuts do not equate to lower job numbers so we can talk about "no answers"...

I'll be waiting, but I wont hold my breath..

Excuse me...what has "Were you still sitting on unemployment at the time? "" got to do with the topic?

You think that some snide insult makes what you post somehow more factual or intelligent???


Answer this: What has my situation got to do with how bush tax cuts did NOT create jobs.


Only someone really really stupid would believe that job loss started on January 20th, 2009....only really brain dead, brainwashed, repugs would think that.

FOR the first time since the Depression, the American economy has added virtually no jobs in the private sector over a 10-year period. The total number of jobs has grown a bit, but that is only because of government hiring.
