The country has been waiting for the promised action on jobs and unemployment since the new Congress came in. Nothing yet. We've had the show-vote on health care, we've had abortion, we've had silly conservative fluff bill after sily conservative fluff bill, but nothing at all on the important issue: JOBS!
Instead we get quite the opposite: they are cutting programs that create jobs, and programs that help people who are out of work. 3.9 million people ran out of unemployment benefits last year. (Remember when they refused to keep unemployment benefits going, unless they got tax cuts for the rich? It's just more Tax Cuts For The Rich, Painful Cuts For The Rest.)
Now they are cutting assistant for workers displaced by the bad trade deals that encourage outsourcing. GOP Reveals Plan for Deep Cuts to EPA, Job Training and More,
Republicans unveiled a budget plan today for the rest of the 2011 fiscal year that would give billions less than President Obama would have liked to programs like the Environmental Protection Agency, federal job training, high speed rail development and more.
High-speed rail projects don't create jobs? And when complete they don't boost the economy forever after, creating even more jobs? Huh?
Lost Your Job To Outsourcing? Too Bad!
