Obama assails GOP, promotes new jobs program (low odds it'll ever be come law anytime soon)

MILWAUKEE – A combative President Barack Obama rolled out a long-term jobs program Monday that will exceed $50 billion to rebuild roads, railways and runways, and coupled it with a blunt campaign-season assault on Republicans for causing Americans' hard economic times.

GOP leaders instantly assailed Obama's proposal, which is also likely to be met with reluctance by many Democrats to approve additional spending and higher federal deficits just weeks before elections that will determine control of Congress.

That means the plan has low odds of becoming law this year. Administration officials said that even quick congressional approval would not produce jobs until sometime next year, raising questions about what, if any, pre-election impact it would have beyond showing job-hungry voters that the White House is trying to ease unemployment.

“Paving roads and laying tracks may put some people to work for a short term,”

It’s a liberal joke. And he already has stimulus money for that. He is manipulating liberal dreams that recovery, and jobs, are mere functions of government policy, without looking at government debt and bailouts soaking up domestic credit.

Not that Republican politicians will point that out, because they are guilty too of seeing the American government and our future, and something to be gamed. Everytime a Republican peeps about Obama’s spending the Democrats scream “you too!”, and they are right. Bush and his decrepit team started the fall with deficits, and more, a couple of stimuluses which were purported to be miracle cures.

You should see my head spin around when I see those signs... always propaganda by empty pits, with no evidence of any work in sight.

Tariffs won't work, will cost the consumers 40% more for everything imported, as well as the imported parts for domestically made durable goods, would cause massive job loss as our exports to the rest of the world dwindled to nothing at all in no time flat.

Are you vieing for a spot on Obama’s cabinet?

Obama has a very, very limited idea of what "jobs" are all about.

His vision seems targeted on the old Soviet "it's harvest time" propaganda films.

So he’s wasting everyone’s f*cking time.

So, if I understand this correctly, Obama went to Democrat Wisconsin to talk to union workers to take another 50 bil from us to pay for states municipal unions to build bridges and roads.

As an aside, anyone notice that the two microphones in front of Obama looks like Mickey Mouse? Just like his administration.

>> We need an immediate(40%)tariff on imported goods and services, and a loss of tax incentives to take manufacturing jobs to third world countries

Are you looking for more union bloat?

I’m of two minds concerning the import of good and services. The short term benefit of isolating manufacturing is inevitably obscured by the threat of labor liability.

Unions are not without fault concerning the deteriorated state of domestic manufacturing.

"We need an immediate(40%)tariff on imported goods and services, and a loss of tax incentives to take manufacturing jobs to third world countries."

Brilliant! Ever hear of Smoot Hawley? Those that don't know history are doomed to repeat it.

Also, what are these "tax incentives" liberals keep crowing about? The libs I know even state the GW Bush personally put together this package to send jobs overseas. Pure lies and fantasy! The only tax incentive is to avoid the second highest corporate tax rates in the world right here in the USA.

Do you know who has the highest? Japan. Notice how they "shipped jobs overseas" and built plants in the US to avoid these taxes.

Lower the corporate tax rate and watch the jobs come back.

just watched 10 mins of this fool and I swear all he has done is put down half of America.

The republicans said this and that and yet he is lying out of his mouth again.
The crowd behind him.

The black guy looks confused, behind him, well is that a she or a he which begs the question what on earth is it with Dem men and their pansy looks.
The woman to the right of the screen with her two kids just keeps nodding her head.

These people are completely delusional

yep give more of our money to give them a job for a year.

yep sure sounds a ling term future for our kids.

He keeps saying we have tried their way and it failed, but he seems to ignore that during that time we fought two wars, 9/11 and still created job, the economy was great and it only went down after the rats took power.

If any cult follower still thinks this man is good for this country then wake the hell up you stupid ignorant dumb fools.
