Rep. Maxine Waters Calls For A Trillion-Dollar Jobs Program
Real Clear Politics ^ | Sep 5 2011 | Meet the Press

Posted on 09/05/2011 7:51:55 AM PDT by R0CK3T

"I’m talking about a jobs program of a trillion dollars or more. We’ve got to put Americans to work. That’s the only way to revitalize this economy. When people work they earn money, they spend that money, and that’s what gets the economy up and going," Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) told NBC's "Meet the Press."

The question that most people should be asking - Are RATS really this stupid or are they purposefully destroying the America that most of us grew up in?

To get the TRILLION dollars Maxine, you have to TAKE IT FROM THE FOLK WHO ARE WORKING!!!! Oh, I forgot your answer is to just print another TRILLION.

As long as lawmakers exhibit this kind of profound greed with no reguard to the cost to fellow Americans we are in deep pudding. Porkulus II, would only benefit Ms. Maxie.

Obozo'a TRILLION dollar job program that is so significant that he required a speech to a joint session of Congress is just more politics. He knows darn well there is not a chance in he$$ that such a plan will pass the House.

What Obozo really wants is to create a 2012 campaign theme - "See I could have fixed this horrible economy that GWB left me with, but the Tea Party forced the House into a bipartisanship fight and refused me my TRILLION dollar job plan because of my skin color. Give me four more years and the House and I will fix everything - free mortgages, free gas, free college, full amnesty - the nation is sitting on TRILLIONS of dollars of cash but yet refuse to do their duty and provide jobs."

Well - if you REALLY want your head to explode then I suggest you read some of the Pro-Maxine comments there.

Here's a doozy:

>>>>You've obviously never studied economics. Govt spending does not take money out of the private economy. The govt borrows money that people do not want to invest in the private sector and puts the money into the private sector via govt spending.

The concept you are struggling to comprehend is called crowding out.<<<<

So, I guess the Left thinks that there would be nothing detriMENTAL about this...big emphasis on MENTAL.

Obama already tried stimulating the economy by borrowing trillions to create jobs. It didn't work because he didn't fix the problems, and getting us into debt for another trillion isn't going to fix the problems, either.

Dear Rep. Waters,

Hey moron, what was black unemployment at after we did the last $1 trillon stimulus?

I would ask you to resign so someone with a lick of sense could take your place, but there is no chance that a district that would elect you year after year would elect anyone with a lick of sense, so please just try to stop spewing violence, hatred and stupidity out of your mouth for a day or two, OK?

It’s a good thing that this nitwit keeps talking like this. It’s this kind of reckless insanity that made winning in 2010 easier than it would have been. Kerosene Maxine! You go girl!

“”I’m talking about a jobs program of a trillion dollars or more.””


Hey Maxine, we already gave you a trillion dollars in 2009 and you squandered it on worthless projects and payoffs to your voter base.

Hey Maxine, because you squandered the trillion dollars in 2009 we defeated you Democrats in 2010 and now you no longer control the money.

Suck it up Maxine. There are consequences to acting stupid.

Ending unemployment benefits after one month, stopping taxes to fund things like cowboy poetry, making the rest of the world start paying for their own defense, and removing all the roadblocks to fully utilizing our own natural resources would be better than confiscating $1,000,000,000,000.00 from people that earned it.
