Labor Sec. Hilda Solis: Jobs are out there … (It’s your fault you’re unemployed)

Remember the Dems having hysterics when the unemployment rate rose to 5% under Bush? I don’t remember them telling people that unemployment was their own fault.

[dfwgator]

Not necessarily going to disagree, but can you imagine the firestorm if a member of a Republican administration said this.

[PGR88]

Do not doubt: the US Gov’t actually encourages unemployment

At the low-end, massive education subsidies and student loans leaves many entry-level and manual labor jobs wanting. Extended unemployment benefits that have the same effect, as people will refuse to take any job or consider a change of careers. And don’t get me started on illegal immigrants and the low-end job market.

Worst of all are investment and job killing tax, environmental and tort regs that kill start-ups and kill hiring at existing firms for manufacturing and solid middle-class jobs.

So, Hilda Solis believes that visiting her website is going to help you get employed, I just sent this link via e-mail to many of my friends who lost their jobs.

I’d like to see how many of them actually get a job a JOB OFFER as a result of visiting this website...

[tacticalogic]

If all those jobs are out there, why do the Democrats in Congress keep telling us we need more umemployment benefits?

Didn't Pelosi get the memo?

[businessprofessor]

If she is correct, we should stop extending unemployment benefits. Where was this message when the recent extension for unemployment compensation benefits were debated?

As a side note, I urge Freepers to add her affiliation on any posts listing her name. She should be referenced as “Hilda Solis (D, Atzlan)”.

[Nervous Tick]

I wonder if this ignorant slut has ever even HAD a real job.

[shredderman]

I’ll try it, and let everyone know what happens. I’ve tried everything else, why not this.......

Jobs are “out there”?!?! Sure, for Road Construction Companies........

Not necessarily going to disagree, but can you imagine the firestorm if a member of a Republican administration said this.

Exactly. "One more example of this president, and his administration, refusing to take responsibility for our national crisis while blaming the victims of that crisis for their predicament."

Or, to flip it around to an earlier crisis: "Mayor Nagin, Governor Blanco: the buses are out there."

[Red_Devil 232]

I would not encourage anyone visit the web site. I bet they are just mining for data on who is unemployed.

"I’ll try it, and let everyone know what happens. I’ve tried everything else, why not this"......"

Good luck in your endeavors, as a side note with (heavy sarcasm to follow), make sure you fill out the online form in broken english, you might stand a better chance.

[Buckeye McFrog]

you got that right....if Newt Gingrich had said that Katie Couric would be hanging him in effigy, live at 7/6 Central.

[Nachum]

The list, ping

Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list

[Perdogg]

The Wash Post blamed consumers for unemployement.

[meadsjn]

local training and education providers and, yes — you can see local job postings.

Looks exactly like a JOBS program for government "training, education, and job counseling" slugs.

[Gabrial]

Do these dolts really think problems can be solved by a new web-page?

That is so frick’in 90’s.

They need to get off the taxpayer's back and get a real job.

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

Bush is blocking all the jobs in all the classifieds nationwide. He took them all.

[Mojave]

There are probably domestic help opportunities in Georgetown.

They'll check your application against your voter registration first.
