The Republican Job Creation Strategy

This graph sums up the entire economic strategy of the Republican party since taking control of the House of Representatives in January of this year. It reveals an economy on the rise in the spring when they first forced major cuts and an extension of the Bush tax cuts in exchange for keeping the government running. The negative effect on job creation was immediate and dramatic, but just as the economy started to recover again back in July, the GOP forced the showdown over raising the nation's debt limit, resulting in more severe cuts to spending that immediately stopped July's progress and caused the devastating 0 jobs report for August. This simple chart should be spread around to every voter who still doesn't know which political party to hold responsible for the current economic debacle. It's no secret that the Republican's single objective is to handcuff President Obama and the democrats, preventing them from digging the country out of the economic pit the country fell into after 8 years of the failed policies of George W. Bush.

Obama's tactic: To give in to Republican demands, because otherwise, they will disrupt everything

The Republicans tactic: To disrupt anyway, no matter whether Obama gives them what they want or not.

I don't believe for a second that we actually had "zero" job growth last month, the system of measurement is so massively rigged that if it's showing at zero then the real number is somewhere several percent below that.

this video is the reason im unsubbing

@sirellyn See I agree with pretty much everything you said, though to me, ending or nationalizing the federal reserve are both acceptable, the latter would give our government control over the printing of money, which would probably be abused somewhat, but would be infinitely better than having it controlled by the Rothschild family.

[sirellyn]

@Laughingblades The fed has to be ended. Nationalizing it won't stop this. The same spending will be in place.

There's millions of pages of laws and regulations. You literally break a dozen laws each day. You make things enforcible by making them simple enough most people know them.

Lobbyists line up because there are handouts. Cut the handouts, make laws very slow and transparent to change. Limit words. They'll be out of their jobs.

End the wars & cut? Completely agree.

[Laughingblades]

@sirellyn :3 I just gave you pretty much every third party plan except the Libertarian party.

Getting rid of the FDA and EPA should be considered out of the question, the corruption needs to be cut out, the revolving door needs to be closed and those still trying to use it need to be punished severely, no more fines that can be paid like taxes, they must be backed up with prison time.

[Laughingblades]

@sirellyn Three things out government could do to end the madness

1: Nationalize the fed. A partial audit is a meaningless ceremonial gesture that will accomplish nothing besides making whoever does it look good to his or her followers.

2: Get the corporate money out of politics, make it a crime punishable by no less than 5 years in prison to incentivize (legal bribery) any state official.

3: Back up regulations with prison sentences.

4: End the wars against the third world, and military pork.

[sirellyn]

@Laughingblades You joke but you almost had it. Sales tax stays the same amount. The government isn't eliminated only cut back. A government that doesn't have to borrow (and be indebted to) banks and other countries. Oh yes, that is indeed madness.

Getting rid of the FDA, EPA and SEC who are run by the ex employees of their protectorate? Allowing people to sue companies directly instead of being shielded? They might be held to account...

Accountability? You're right, thats way too crazy.

[sirellyn]

Both parties are responsible for the economic crisis. You've looked at job numbers with spending cuts but not with stimulus. (money printing). As soon as the money printing ended the same thing happened.

The republicans are right insofar as cuts are needed, but they are abysmal on where and what to cut. The military needs to be cut drastically before other programs and they won't touch that.

The democrats are just as screwed up as the republicans.

Expand upon economic policy.... Obama doesn't have the answer either

[stourleyk]

@FabulousLakeTahoe I looked up epistemic closure in the dictionary. Your picture was there.

[Laughingblades]

@rebootourpolitics Either way the same corporations, banking cartels, and private industries are going to win since they own obama and control everything he does. The democrats only pretend to fight it for the public, but when it comes down to it, they only really differ from republicans on social issues like abortion rights and gay marriage, on economic policies 9 times out of 10 they vote the exact same way, in favor of the businesses that control all of their political financing.
