9 Months Too Late: Obama Announces Jobs Summit

http://www.americansolutions.com/jobsfirst

With unemployment at 10.2% and 15.7 million Americans out of work, President Obama announces a jobs summit in December.

But wait, hasn't the stimulus "saved or created" 1 million jobs?

@joskemom The first thing on the cutting block is programs that help those who need the help. And those who don't need the help but have the money to pay to get it are protected from such talk as cutting their share. A person who has not received a raise in 10 years while cost for everything has gone up needs to "pitch in" while the companies who make record profits are told they don't have to. A company can takes a cut in their PROFITS and survive. A person losing their job can not.

@joskemom Barak Obama didn't kill one job the companies did. No matter their reasons. Fanny/Freddie are as important to the financial crash as much as butterflies are to hurricanes. But they where dem backed so they become talking points. Talk about how the top 5 "U.S" Corporations who make trillions didn't pay a red cent in taxes to the U.S. And also receive billions from the tax payer. Why are companies who hold our livelihoods hostage favored, while the Working Class is treated as leeches?

I heard the in the month of March our govt spent 8 times more than it took in. How the hell is that sustainable? Today 22.5 million work for the govt compared to 11.5 million in manufacturing. Govt workers are paid by the private sector tax payers-thus a nation of takers and not makers. The stim bill was a trillion dollar waste. Not only can America not afford another 4 yrs of Obama, America can not survive another 4 yrs of this guy. Oh yea, govt shut down, who is he going to blame for that?

@JRMCNEA Look past the numbers for the reason why. Here is the debate-the dems took control of congress in 2006, these same dems protected the fanni/freddie program when the reps tried to end it because they saw that it would blow up. The housing market blew up, along with higher gas prices that caused the car companies to go down. Many bizz people did not want Obama to become prez because they knew he would be a danger to the private sector. When he won the bizz world went downhill.

@joskemom If you have it, why are you saying that unemployment went down during Bushes 2 terms? 4.2 - 7%+ is not going down... And It started to go up as soon as he was elected meaning he was not the cause but something elses. He didn't have power and you can make the arguement that the employers started firing people as soon as he got elected. Well if that is the case it means you are still blaming the wrong person...

[joskemom]

@JRMCNEA I have this data, in detail, why are you giving it to me? Oh and you are right, when Obama got elected the unemployment started to climb.

[JRMCNEA]
