How to Create Jobs, by the Republican Party!

Do you remember back to the elections last year? Do your remember the promise by every Republican and Tea Party member? If they are elected, they are heading to Washington, cut taxes and get America back to work. They promised jobs. My question is where are the jobs? What is the Republican controlled House of Representatives, doing to create jobs. Nothing. Absolutely nothing. What are they so busy doing and, are we getting our moneys worth, with the salaries we are paying?

Here is what the, do nothing Congress is doing. They have brought up bills and passed them, to stop any federal funds being used for abortions. The Hyde amendment, has for a long time, been the law of the land and prohibits any federal money being spent on abortions. So what are our illustrious Congressmen doing? They are creating a problem and then voting to fix it. That's right, there is no federal money spent on abortions, so the Republicans, then try and tell the American people, that we have a loophole in the law and they need to close it. the problem is there is no opening, so in essence, they create a need for legislature, then they can vote for it, and then they can tell their constituents, they have fixed the problem. This reminds me of the arsonist fireman, that started a fire so he could put it out.

We need good paying jobs and we need them now. Congress has done nothing to resolve the biggest issue, facing America. This is what we sent them there for and they cannot even begin to address the issue. Mitch McConnell, the Republican senate leader, stated his most important job was to make President Obama a one term President. That is what Congress is wasting their time and our money on. Politics. After the Senate failed to pass the American Jobs Bill, the number two Republican in the House, Eric Cantor, stated that now we could see the President's bill for what it was, a campaign issue and nothing more. When pressed for what the Republicans had to offer, Mr. Cantor, gave the forty year old, Republican response. We need to cut regulations, cut corporate tax rates and create a favorable environment for jobs to grow. In other words, "trickle down economics." This has not worked for the last forty years and yet they are still hard at work selling the same stale, failed policies. Since the Republicans and Tea Party Members of Congress won't create jobs for Americans, I say we should help create some ourselves. Let's fire them and create jobs for liberal Democrats.
