Since the Republicans took control of the House in January, they have made deficit reduction their top priority. However, while Republicans dutifully argue that slashing spending will create a positive "environment for job creation," their proposed budget cuts will cause significant job losses in the near-term. In just three bills this session, House Republicans have voted to eliminate between 4 and 5 million jobs, with some economists calling their estimates "conservative." Including proposed legislation that has not yet passed, House Republicans have attempted to eliminate up to 6.7 million jobs.
Political Correction has prepared the following graphic charting the job losses that could result from legislation the House GOP has voted on or introduced since taking the majority in January (click to enlarge):
This, coupled with the inside story on all the baby seals clubbed by Sarah Palin and her evil son Trig, should finally drive a stake into the heart of the Palin/Bachmann atrocity machine.
WHAT jobs?
Media Matters is Soros.
Soros has said the US should take on more debt.
Note that he often makes money on currency and products losing their value.
Just like the DNC.
Heh. We wish.
Would these perchance be “government jobs” whose elimination Media Matters is lamenting? ... i.e., jobs that have been parasitically financed by force-extracting money from the private sector, and which function chiefly to harass, abuse and bury that very same private sector with mandates and red tape?

6.7 million isn’t nearly enough, up the ante!!!
Fire at least 80% of federal workers and eliminate the departments they work for.
I thought Media Matters was losing its tax exempt status. It is nothing but a partisan Democratic attack machine.
I’m not goint to click on the Soros funded link. But if the GOP is talking about cutting some useless government jobs, they’re on the right track.
Does anybody even really know how many people are employed by the government (excluding the military and post office)?
GOvernment jobs are not real jobs they are those made so the President looks like he doesn’t suck as much as he really does...
Political correction eh? How about personal responsibility correction.
Friggin lefties.
Media Matters Action Network has launched Political Correction, a new project aimed at holding conservative politicians and advocacy groups accountable. As the organization grows and continues to increase its role in the progressive movement, the new brand name will enable web visitors, bloggers, and journalists easier, faster access to the information they need.
Political Correction will expand on MMAN’s core work of highlighting and correcting conservative misinformation. As the only organization — progressive or conservative — comprehensively monitoring the House and Senate floors, MMAN has been able to highlight conservatives’ extreme rhetoric and show Americans the real nature of today’s Republican Party.

Media Matters, the far-left website that has become a mouthpiece for the Democratic party, currently enjoys tax-exempt status. It’s also declared a war on Fox News, working hard to discredit and attack cable’s most popular news channel. That, says C. Boyden Gray, violates the rules behind receiving tax-free donations. In an op-ed in the Washington Times this week, Gray explains his argument:
MMA’s activities should disallow its tax-exempt status in two fundamental ways. First, IRS rulings make clear that attacks on individuals, statement of positions that are unsupported by facts and use of inflammatory language and other distortions will cost an organization its tax-free status. Second, in declaring “guerrilla warfare” on Fox as the “leader” and “mouthpiece” of the Republican Party and in developing a sophisticated Democratic-leaning media training boot camp, MMA has transformed itself into an aggressive advocate for Democratic and progressive causes and thus produced a second deviation from exempt educational activities.
According to Gray, Media Matters’s tax-exempt status represents “a form of government support for activities that clearly do not merit tax-exempt status and that as a result infringe on Fox News’ First Amendment rights.”
Soros backed Media Matters spewing further half-facts and outright lies. May they all burn in their own versions of Hell. =.=
Um, perhaps it’s just me, but it seems to me that Fed Gov jobs are not actually jobs. Fed Gov jobs are actually a drain on the economy, they do not add to the economy. For every dollar paid to Fed Gov employees, the Fed Gov receives how much in tax revenue? So, for a $100,000 salaried Fed Gov job, the government is shelling out how much versus receiving how much in tax revenue? I’m not an economist. I’ve never taken a course in economics. But, I believe I can figure out that paying millions upon millions to people hired into the Fed Gov work force takes tax dollars out of the economy, and does not provide a return on the investment.
