Private-sector job creation deteriorating, too

Political Animal - Private-sector job creation deteriorating, too

I would like to see where the "Stimulus" fits on this timeline, as well as the extension of the Bush tax cuts. The GOP mantra seems to be that "tax cuts" spur job growth. Well, I suspect the stimulus will plot about where the red to blue transition occurs (which makes sense) and will be followed by a distinct uptick in jobs. Where as, the bush tax cut extension will plot somewhere near the tallest blue line (about sixth from the left) and will be followed by a moderate decline in jobs. Until the GOP can provide compelling evidence illustrating their position, I'll B.S. on their statements. Increased corporate incomes goes to (primarily) to the top of that food-chain - not to the middle class.

Douche....

The GOP (esp. this guy) is so stupid. Don't they know they're pissing people off? I'm making the early call, the tables will turn in the next election, GOP out/DEMS in.

Debt Ceiling Debate

This is literally making me crazy now-a-days. I find it hard to believe the GOP are willing to stand behind this nonsense. If polled, I bet more Americans would be willing to tax the rich rather than face a double-dip recession (as would likely happen without a resolution by Aug. 2). Frustrating beyond belief....

Well, that sucks

Darn...

Since 2009, 88 Percent Of Income Growth Went To Corporate Profits, Just One Percent Went To Wages: "After the longest recession since WWII, many Americans are still struggling while S&P 500 corporations are sitting on $800 billion in cash and making massive profits. Now, economists from Northeastern University have released a study that finds our sluggish economic recovery has almost solely benefited corporations. According to the study: “Between the second quarter of [...]"

GOP Jokers

During Bush Presidency, Current GOP Leaders Voted 19 Times To Increase Debt Limit By $4 Trillion: "After pushing the government to brink of shutdown last week, Republican Congressional leaders are now preparing to push America to the edge of default by refusing to increase the nation’s debt limit without first getting Democrats to concede to large spending cuts. But while the four Republicans in Congressional leadership positions are attempting to hold [...]"

Of course... These guys (as with many modern-day politicians) make me sick. Funny how they're all fine to extend the debt limit under Bush but not under Obama. Classic. If more people were paying attention, perhaps we would be in this mess.
