Why haven't House republicans introduced a single job bill in 6 months, wasn't

[tyler]

job creation their nr.1 promise? Did they....break their promise? Why is the unemployment rate even higher now than in January?

 

[Lady Laissez Faire]

Obama and the Dems passed 3 jobs bills since January 2009........JOBS BILLS DON'T WORK.

 

[Oldwhiteguy2earth]

You don't create jobs by writing more regulations. You create jobs by writing less regulations so that job creators are more inclined to want to succeed.

 

[Straight_Talk_Luigi]

Because they can't get anything past dingy harry and barry n bite me.

Democrats control the government, and since you don't like the unemployment numbers, I suggest you vote GOP and TEA PARTY in 2012.

 

[Henery Hawk]

private sector creates jobs,government creates regulations

obama and biden also ran on jobs

 

[The Scales of Justice 3.]

They don't hire people. Or did you forget that. Obama hires people. as evidenced
by the inflationary cost of is operations spending. The man has single handily tried
to hire every black person who can walk and chew gum at the same time since he
has become the Head in Charge. And guess who pays for gubermemt employees
skippy, Certainly not you or other progressives. Just WASP members of Society
who actually have jobs and are being productive.

Government needs to get the hell out of the way, and let companies attack this
problem.

Are you aware poster that GM has fired or let go 36,000 people since 2009. Moving
plants to Mexico and China. And this Company is run by Obummos buddy on
the Jobs development committee. What a waste of time and a joke on Obamas
part.

 

[bluechristy]

You make a good point there Tyler.
edit - Republicans could care less about American Jobs obviously.

 

[Food Fight]

That is a Republican jobs bill. Doing nothing is the stated plan for recovery. Yet unemployment started going up as soon as it was implemented.

 

[Amy O'brien]

Yes they clearly broke their promise. What a surprise.

 

[Zombie g]

their entire idea seems to be to tell people that "blocking Obama is creating jobs"

but it appears that businesses don't believe them, as they are not hiring...

 

[RageFury]

Why did Oblamo's Job bill fail...
Why did GM create jobs in Mexico after the US Taxpayer saved them?
When you figure this out then get back to us...

 

[Reagan '12]

Because the Senate doesn't agree with their plans or bills to cut spending and get government out of the way and the republicans have spent most of their time in office preventing government shutdowns and now the debt ceiling gridlock. Democrats had 2 years to create budgets and they failed to do it, it took republicans just a few months to get budgets made, don't forget that.

 

[Will]

The Tea party members of the house were elected promising jobs and now Conservatives, like some of the posters here, are claiming jobs bills don't work. Typical Conservative hypocrisy. Hypocrisy is a plank in the Republican platform. You can't be one without being the other. The problem is the American voter, particularly Conservatives, are to ignorant to see it and then they can't understand why Democrats can. There is none so blind as those that will not see. EDIT: taxes were lowered with the Bush tax cuts that were recently extended, Where are the jobs that Conservatives claim that lower taxes create? It didn't happen and it won't happen.

 

[IceT]

They have been busy passing a budget for this year since Democrats didn't do it last Nov. like it was supposed to be done.

Why hasn't O'Bama and the Democrats submitted a budget?

Why hasn't O'Bama and the Democrats submitted a plan to save SS and Medicare? If nothing is done it won't be there for anyone.

Why hasn't O'Bama or the Democrats submitted a debt reduction plan? O'Bama promised during the campaign to cut it in half!

 

[thegubmint]

1. The Senate is run by Democrats.

2. Their promise was to create an environment where private business would be in a position to start hiring again. The stonewalling by the Democrats in the Senate has prevented that from occurring, so businesses are still holding on to their capital in anticipation of the tax increases the Democrats are pushing for.

 

[Socrates]

You seem to think business is a helpless baby that needs an all-wise, all compassionate government to swoop down and change it's diapers for it. Government is NOT the mechanism that creates jobs. Obama's failures over the last year are evidence of this, except for public sector jobs. Republicans understand what creates jobs is a business-friendly environment.

In this, they DID help right off the bat last December in forcing an extension of the high-end Bush tax cuts. Not doing so would have been equivalent to a huge tax increase. Two-thirds of all small business and their owners would be effected by this. The Administration has created an atmosphere of no confidence. Business is not willing to expand out of fear of what new tax (a bunch of taxes have been created to support Obamacare) or regulatory nightmare will come their way. In May, almost half of the new jobs were created by McDonald's. This was made possible by them getting a waiver from Obamacare. Cap & Trade was bilaterally shot down in Congress. Both Republicans AND Democrats understood it would hurt the economy. What does Obama do? He resurrects it as EPA regulation instead.

Government saying, "I think I'll make some jobs.", doesn't work. However, the policies that do are still not possible because Democrats are still driving the bus.

 

[andy g]

because the 0bama sheeple ignore the whining from the lib controlled senate and their 57 state messiah!!! Oh boo hoo its all the republicans in the House of Reps fault for the libs in Washington hating America!!! Try going back to the 5th grade and learn how "guberment" works,.....and here is a hint,...it is NOT to supply you with guberment cheese and healthcare!!!

 

[Yes We Can]

Paul Ryan budget was a big one.

 

[Tony Soprana]

Because they're liars

 

[crash.override]

Their number 1 promise was to reign in government spending. And that is exactly what they are attempting to do, but get blocked by Harry n friends. There is only so much the Republicans in the House can do when the Dems in the Senate block and/or are unwilling to compromise.
