    Like repealing heathcare? Not much but that has come out of the crazy house. Certainly NO JOBS.

    The government cannot create jobs - except government jobs which it has to raise taxes to do. But they can make the economic climate favorable to for businesses to create jobs. And it take more than the House - there is the Senate AND the Oval Office, neither of which are the least bit interested in creating jobs, just entitlements.

    Gridlock is good: the Republicans can’t give it away to the rich, and the Democrats can’t give it away to the poor.

    I think we need to hire a few guys with “The” for a middle name (like, Mike the Mechanic) and everytime Congress won’t work together, these guys go in and rearrange knee caps till they do.

    1after909 you are exactly correct. That is exactly why the governor of Florida just said no to Obama’s new idea of building a rail transit system.. It is only going to be a government project paying workers with our tax dollars!

    It is weird how these people think!!!!! Virginia’s governor now is talking about inventing a new currency for Virginia because the USA’s currency is being devalued and will be worthless very very soon.

    Surprise, surprise: the USA is in fact still the world’s number one manufacturing nation, and (by dollar volume) something like 75 percent of the manufactured goods we purchase are still Made In USA.

    So what happened to the jobs?

    Well, remember back in the ’60s, when magazines like Scientific American and Popular Science carried articles about how technology would soon make our workers so productive that we’d only need a four-day work week to make everything we needed for our own consumption and for export? Well, that’s what happened. The US has the most productive factories (in terms of dollar value created per hour of labor) in the world.

    But… the folks up in Business Class decided that instead of cutting the work week by 20 percent (from five days to four), they’d instead cut the work force by that amount (in real terms, not the fantasy terms used by the Department of Labor, manufacturing-sector unemployment is about 20 percent). After all, when you push up unemployment, you save money on benefits and push down wages, both of which allow you to pay your executives even bigger bonuses.
