Maybe we should have truth in legislative advertising instead of a legally binding budget act. Why is there no real and legally binding, right to work in Right to Work States?

In my opinion, the right should be held the most responsible for any moral failures in our republic since they tend to lay the most claim to moral forms of absolutism, arising from Religion. Why is it that our elected representatives can get away with the moral turpitude of bearing false witness to our own laws regarding the concept and legal doctrine of employment at will?

We could be solving poverty in our republic via unemployment compensation that bears true witness to our own laws. The infrastructure already exists in every State of the Union and the federal districts; but for the moral turpitude of bearing false witness to our own laws.

Yet, we seem to be able to afford an extra-Constitutional War on Drugs that only increases poverty while denying and disparaging individual liberty in the process of sacrificing the end to the means, contrary to the "dictates of plain reason and legal axioms".

I've been of working age since the Carter era. The job picture goes up and down under both D's and R's, but this is the worst I've ever seen things. Even if you're still fortunate enough to have a decent job, there's a good chance you're getting squeezed like a rat in the grip of a python. The aggressive employers are squeezing more & more productivity from their people, and people comply because they are scared s**tless of losing their jobs. Then other companies have to follow suit and squeeze their people in order to compete. As long as we have high unemployment, and U6 unemployment now is 14.7 percent. this vicious cycle will continue.

You can try to shift the blame onto Bush, Boehner, or whatever devil you prefer, but the fact is that the Europeans have had this kind of high structural unemployment for a few decades now. As soon as we elected a prez who wanted to turn us into the United States of Europe, whaddayaknow, we got the same high structural unemployment.

Obama is a fine person, very intelligent, inspiring speaker, great wife & kids, etc. It's just that he has some ruinous ideas, and unfortunately until we get rid of him we won't get rid of high unemployment.

Care to expand on what job bills the Republicans have created that don't have clauses that infringe on people or require proper environmental research before putting in place?

This seems to be what politics has boiled down to these days. Give a bill a great name and then load it down with outrageous, unrelated "riders" that the people know won't pass. Then, once it's voted down, they can scream "those damn R's or D's are against jobs, seniors, etc since they voted the bill down".

Unfortunately, over half of the American voters are full blown imbeciles and take everything that's spoon-feed to them via their party's taking heads.

This is clearly just your opinion, and you haven't provided a single fact or ounce of evidence to justify this opinion.Lie. It's also ridiculous.Why should anyone have free college education? Who would pay for it? Taxpayers? That doesn't make it free.

Nothing is truly "free." Everything costs sombody something. What planet do you live on?
Youre asking them for facts and logic to back up their claims...don't hold your breath. The problem is, as soon as they reach for one of the hallucinatory images swirling around in their heads, so as to provide absolute proof, the damn thing disappears. Damn.

How difficult is it to pass bills that promote infrastructure development in the US that requires labor to accomplish?
