House Democratic Caucus Chairman John Larson (Conn.) is expected this week to introduce legislation that would create a Joint Select Committee on Job Creation, patterned after the supercommittee tasked with finding $1.5 trillion in spending cuts.
In an Aug. 8 “Dear Colleague” letter, Larson said the jobs supercommittee would work under the “exact same terms” as the spending supercommittee. The latter panel has 12 members, six from the House and six from the Senate, and must reach spending-cut recommendations by Nov. 23.

Stop! Stop it! This should be straight out of Monty Python!
The Balkanization of Congress, creating 1 federal job for every 2 in the private sector.
These people are vampires. I don’t know how they come out in the sunshine anymore.

In an Aug. 8 “Dear Colleague” letter, Larson said...We'd all be much better off if the folks in his district would send him a "Dear John" letter...

This has just GOT to be a joke.... Hideously true, although Freepers had a few jokes with it here:
Obama to create new Department of Jobs under Commerce Department
BTW: Post # 21 from Paleo Conservative:
This is ridiculous and redundant. There is already a department of labor, and it was split off from the Department of Commerce in 1913.

I knew Boner had sold us out when that picture of him and Obama drinking at the 19th hole surfaced on the internet.
Obama can probably talk Boner into another tax increase if he has another bottle of scotch....

Boner seems to enjoy his cocktails.
Loose lips sink ships.

Drunks are easy prey in politics. Boner is probably a drunk.

Connect the dots ...
Jobs/campaign tour is to sell the new (union) jobs committee and supercommittee ... and stimulus part II?

Y’all pay attention. This is a picture perfect example of:
1. A mentally diseased liberal.
2. Government redundancy.
I seriously doubt the Repubs in the House will have anything to do with this.

They just never learn do they. Time and time again they open the door, and in barge the looters. Boehner really needs to stop this one dead. He really does.
Btw if we need a "supercommittee" on jobs, then what the hell is the Department of Labor for?
To: maggief
yep...
