Boehner on Meet the Press: GOP Agenda Will Focus on Creating Jobs & Cutting Spending

During an appearance on NBC's Meet the Press, House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) said that with the American people asking 'where are the jobs?' and employers frozen by Democrats' job-killing agenda, Republicans' forthcoming agenda will focus on getting people working again and cutting wasteful Washington spending. Boehner highlighted how this economy-focused agenda will represent the culmination of Republicans' efforts to listen to the American people through America Speaking Out. Boehner also said that in light of the uncertainty facing employers, the last thing the economy needs are the job-killing tax hikes Democrats plan to impose on families & small businesses. The situation surrounding Chairman Charlie Rangel (D-NY) and the fiscal challenges facing the nation were among other topics discussed during Boehner's appearance.

Where are the jobs speaker Boehner? Unemployment has risen since you and your lot have taken over congress.

[GOPkicksbutt]

Congress needs to stop paying unemployment to these job dodgers and buy them one way plane tickets out of the country before we go bankrupt!

I, along with several of my republican colleagues are currently working on a plan to end unemployment permanently by attaching a provision to the next budget bill that will end unemployment for good!

@dud3man6969 Class warfare? Which side keeps attacking union members?

Obama is selling our jobs? How about giant multinational corporations who export jobs and import products from other countries? Who has more to gain by exporting workers, obama or businesses?

I just don't like Boner. He looks like a drunken chain smoker. A walking hangover.

@dud3man6969 I believe that entrepreneurs and innovators alike should be rewarded for contributing to the well being of the national economy, but greed should not be overlooked. Apple has taken advantage of cheap labor in China. Most Americans that have purchased an iPhone have no idea as to where the phone was produced. CHINA(why not in America)??? This is some shameful shit man.

@dud3man6969 My friend....devaluation - A deliberate downward adjustment to a country's official exchange rate relative to other currencies. When a nation devalues its currency, the goods it imports become more expensive, while its exports become less expensive abroad and thus more competitive.... That is why Mr. Obama went to China. This shit didn't just start happening under his watch. He is simply trying to end it,
