US unemployment silence

While debt ceiling talks are underway on Capitol Hill, there is not a single word about employment, all while Friday's June job report shows the situation is deteriorating dramatically. Meanwhile the chairman of the President's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness, Jeff Immelt, is known for heading a company that famously paid no taxes last year and not only shed domestic jobs but added a staff overseas. Labor Journalist Mike Elk joins RT's Lauren Lyster in the studio to talk more about the issue.

Government and greedy corps have chased jobs out of America.

[EconCat88]

Government meddling, unions, and a falling work ethic has chased millions of jobs out of the US. Many of these jobs are gone forever from the US.

It is foolish, and export doesn't expand in the United States though it is weak dollar.

Because foolishness administers a company, salary down [i].

It only fights without economy vs. planning it because foolishness operates a government.

@preving how would congress create jobs?

[Unklebillybob]

@preving Agreeded. I don't know if Romney could turn-it-around. but, the current plan isn't working

[preving]

@Unklebillybob Like I said, I can't blame Mr.Obama for jobs. It's not HIM that is going to create the jobs. He doesn't have a magic wand to create jobs and neither does Romney. It's Congress who will have to sit down and create something but yeah from your stats, I can see the upper hand going to Romney. Look at it this way. It's a waaaaay worse mess than it was in 2008 so is Romney able to turn the whole thing around? I don't know....
