Rush Limbaugh
Michigan Governor Granholm and the Chickification of Job Loss
Fear not! She’ll “create” 40,000 jobs (by 2020).
October 6, 2009
She can’t “create” a single job. Jennifer Granholm can’t even do hers very well! The template of this reporter is “Oh, the government! They’re our saviors. “The Democrats have now learned, it’s easier to just expand benefits than to prevent layoffs and create new jobs; and Jennifer Granholm, oh, the jobs are disappearing just so “much faster than she can create them”! She’s a ditz! Pelosi is a ditz. Obama is a menace and a danger.
“Since taking office in 2003, Granholm has created 163,300 positions...” It’s just an out-and-out lie. Government does not “create” jobs unless they hire people to work in government, and that’s not what these jobs are. And anyway, the 163,000 “positions” that she claims she’s created is a number provided by her office. “She expects that a recent infusion of more than $1 billion from the Obama administration aimed at nurturing car battery and electric-vehicle projects will generate 40,000 more positions by 2020.” Big whoop! It’s 2009. We ought to be creating 40,000 jobs a freaking day in this country! Given that there’s 9.8% unemployment, 40,000 new jobs a day ought to be being created right now and it could be done with the Limbaugh stimulus plan. (sigh) Forty thousand jobs by 2020 in the green sector, batteries and garbage for electric cars!
“In the past decade, however, as the auto industry has grown smaller, Michigan has lost 870,000 jobs — about 632,000 of them during Granholm’s tenure.” Notice Michigan has “lost” the jobs, she hasn’t. She has “created” 163,000 jobs, but Michigan has “lost” 632,000 during her tenure. And that number, by the way, is “is expected to reach 1 million by late next year, the end of her term.” So, in 15 months, we’re going to lose another 370,000 jobs, but Jennifer Granholm assures us that she’s going to create 40,000 new jobs in another 11 years. In 12, 14 months we’re going to lose 370,000, but fear not, folks! Forty thousand brand-new jobs in the green sector are going to be created by...2020. “In her effort to attract employers, the governor has taken up the latest arms in the economic arsenal — tax credits, loans, Super Bowl tickets and a willingness to travel as far as Japan for a weekend to try to persuade an auto parts company to bring more jobs to Michigan.
“She has won solar and wind energy, electric car batteries, and movie production jobs. About 10,800 of the new positions came from overseas companies, according to her office, the fruits of visits to seven countries. ‘We have great bones as a state,’ she says. ‘We know how to build stuff. We will build on that strength and diversify this economy. We will lead the nation in creating jobs in renewable energy. We’re not going to be viewed as Luddites.’” Forty thousand jobs in this stupid green sector in 11 years. And that’s going to be the leader, meaning no other state will come anywhere near 40,000 jobs in 11 years — and this stupid, worthless hoax-of-a-filled green sector! It’s all a freaking hoax, green jobs, windmills, electric cars, solar, it’s all a bag manure! 40,000 jobs in 11 years is going to lead the nation? Good God! Are we ever screwed! And this is after getting a billion dollars from that dunce Obama to help ignite the economy — and I’m only on the first page of this story! And I gotta take a break. And I need to take a break to calm down to get through the rest of this garbage.
As I was reading your comments I started to worry about your bloodpressure. Seriously!
To vent, go hit a Democrat. LOL!
