While many Americans remain unemployed, House Speaker John Boehner, the GOP, and the media would rather focus on this:
The media has been focusing on this:
Instead of this: Republicans Vote to End MEDICARE
And this: House Republicans propose Social Security opt-out
Instead of this: WHAT THE GOP THINKS ABOUT JOBS
Don’t get it twisted folks; the GOP have no interest in job creation for Americans, NONE.
Please take a moment to open and read the links. We’ve got to start regenerating our skills, and that includes taking the time to read, process and make informed choices for ourselves. Thanks!
House GOP unveils plan to cut federal workforce

White House bean counters would have to keep closer tabs on the number of federal employees on the government payroll if a Republican proposal to trim the federal workforce advances.
Three leading House Republicans detailed plans Monday to replace every three employees who depart federal agencies with only one new hire, in hopes of trimming the workforce by 10 percent by 2015 and fulfilling a key element of the House GOP’s 2012 budget plans.
The proposal, unveiled by House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa of California and Reps. Dennis Ross of Florida and Jason Chaffetz of Utah, details how Republicans propose to achieve that 10 percent cut. The idea stems from President Obama’s bipartisan fiscal commission and was adopted by House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) as part of his wide-ranging budget plan.
Issa, Ross and Chaffetz said their proposal would save an estimated $127.5 billion over 10 years.
If passed, the legislation would require the Office of Management and Budget to track the size of the federal workforce on a quarterly basis and report to Congress in writing if the number of employees exceededs 90 percent of its current size in fiscal 2011. No agency would be permitted to fill job vacancies once the limit was exceeded. Agency employees would be tallied on a full-time equivalent basis, according to the legislation.

John Boehner,
Stay out of our wombs! What I do with my body is my business! Where are the damn jobs? The American people need jobs to provide food for their families, a place to live and to pay their bills. How will folks survive without a job?
