August jobs report is disappointing thanks to Tea-Publicans
Posted by AzBlueMeanie:
On September 8, 2011 — exactly one year ago tomorrow — President Obama
delivered an important speech to a joint session of Congress. In it,
the president unveiled a proposal he called the American Jobs Act. You know, President Obama's jobs bill that the "Galt – Gekko 2012" campaign pretends does not exist. Steve Benen writes, The American Jobs Act — One Year Later:
Obama sought to shift the national conversation away from austerity
and towards job creation, and presented a sensible plan, filled with
ideas that have traditionally enjoyed bipartisan support.
Independent analysis projected the American Jobs Act, which was fully paid for, could create as many as 2 million jobs in 2012.
I mention this now because what happened a year ago is incredibly
relevant to what's happening now. This morning's jobs report was disappointing,
and we know exactly how the political world will digest the news — if
the job market is underperforming, it's Obama who'll get the blame.
Yes, because that is what lazy media villagers do, they parrot the lazy GOPropaganda media narratives.
It is the Tea-Publican insurrectionists in the Congress who are to blame for not passing the American Jobs Act and not creating an additional 2 million jobs over the past year. These Tea-Publican insurrectionists are quite open about sabotaging the U.S. economy for ideological reasons and partisan political advantage: their cynical theory is that if they sabotage the U.S. economy, low information voters will blame the president for the sluggish recovery and reward the very insurrectionists who have sabotaged the U.S. economy this November. There hopefully is a special place in hell for these unpatriotic and un-American insurrectionists who are sabotaging the U.S. economy.
There are also the Tea-Publican insurrectionists at the state and local level who have imposed disproved and discredited GOP "austerity" economic policies, laying off public sector workers at the very time when they should be doing everything in their power to retain and to even expand the number of public sector workers, as we have done in every economic downturn since the Great Depression. These Tea-Publican insurrectionsits are sabotaging the U.S. economy by firing public sector workers and making unemployment worse — they are to blame. It is time for the American people to rise up as one and throw these unpatriotic, un-American Tea-Publican insurrectionists who are sabotaging the U.S. economy out of office this November en masse.
