The Bucknuts Hot Spot

He reminds me of a little kid who never does anything wrong . Blame anything or anyone . Sick .

Not to correct you, 750,000 jobs a month. Don't even bother with that dope. They could care less about this country. They only want power and the wealth that comes with it.

No escaping reality. The fact remains the same as it was 4 years ago. Expecting, lying, and wishing for it to change won't make it so.

Oh, not the 1% part. They didn't cause the problem. We have no problem with them making money and with them accepting tax cuts. Stop lumping them in. I doubt seriously if they would complain if their taxes went up anyway. It's not about the 1%, it's about the right trying to hang this around the neck of Obama when he is trying to fix the Republican's mess - without their help I might add.

Until anyone can prove that higher taxes create jobs what's your point? Why don't you explain how raising taxes, whether on individuals or corporations, will create jobs? And what about all those jobs Obama created in the green energy industry by playing venture capitalist with money we borrowed from China?

That could have happened to anyone? Seriously? What qualifications does Obama, or anyone in the Federal government who never spent a day in private industry, have in determining how or where to "invest" in companies or industries? Their experience is limited to where they can best buy votes. And how do you know lower taxes don't create jobs? Liberals have no problem with crediting Obama for all the jobs he's saved or created with government "stimulus" but how does anyone really know what the situation would have been without the stimulus? At the same time what if the lower tax rates we've had in place prevented the job market from being much worse than it's actually been? No one really knows, do they - you can't argue it both ways, and nothing happens in a vacuum - everything has consequences. Here's a few solutions for you:

Don't allow the President to play venture capitalist with borrowed money.
Fund only basic R&D from the federal government.
Don't direcly fund politically connected companies.
Don't appease the green movement by funding companies and industries with no workable business plan.
Let the free market determine what companies and industries succeed or fail.
Let venture capital professionals, who have just a little more experience in this area, fund startups.

I believe he was alive and has been a witness during the past 11 years. As were we all.

Only a fool would say tax cuts during that time created jobs. It was quite the opposite - and continues today.....

Oh, I forgot, military jobs were created - through attrition.......

You know that the Federal Government is not a private company, don't you?? They are not in the business of making money, they are in the business of making sure that everyone has an opportunity to do well and for the country to strive as a whole.

Agreed. I'd bet my last dollar he'd fail in the private sector.

Hilda Solis is like another Obama appointee Eric Holder.......totally incompetent for the position she/he holds.

McCague---You seem to forget that the congress (both houses) was controled by the Democrats for the first two years of OBama's administration.

It never gets old to them. It's almost like they're scripted by the media...oh, wait...

They will probably take responsibility when the Right stops the Birther, Marxist, America Hater, Muslim BS and admit that half of the figures they use should really be counted against Bush rather than Obama.

Just one example: The Romney campaign claims that Obama has presided over a net loss in jobs. They reach that figure by counting job losses that were a result of the economic crisis and happened before Obama’s policies were enacted or even took effect, including jobs lost in January 2009 before Obama’s inauguration. They count the over 800,000 jobs lost in January 09 - Obama in office 10 days. The 750,000 jobs lost in Feb. - Obama in office 39 days. The 700,000 loss in March - Obama in office 69 days and none of his policies having yet had a chance to be put into practice. So Romney wants Obama to take the blame for 2.25 million jobs lost in his first 69 days in office. That is a joke. No objective, rational person would see Obama as having anything to do with those losses, but if those actual facts are brought up the GOP/Right start screaming STOP BLAMING BUSH.

So even with Friday's horrible job report of only 69,000 private sector jobs being created May, that is still a lot better than losing 800,000 jobs. There have been over 4 million private sector jobs added since Obama's stimulus and other programs acted as a tourniquet to the Bush's massive hemorrhaging of jobs.
