GOP jobs agenda

Democratic policies have generated 3 million jobs just this year

After complaining for six years about jobs, jobs jobs......The best the Republicans can come up with is Keystone and Hire more Heroes?

Pathetic....just pathetic

What were those policies?
Nothing much has been passed for the last 3 years.
More than half of the new jobs is part time.

No they are not

Seven million Americans are stuck in part-time jobs.
Overall U.S. unemployment has fallen steeply in the past year (from 7.2% in October 2013 to 5.8% in October 2014), but too many people can only find part-time positions.
The number of people working part-time involuntarily is more than 50% higher than when the recession began.


Still does not support your assertion that half the jobs added in 2014 were part time

Try again or just admit you were mistaken
 
With Republicans taking over Congress today, prepare to be dazzled with their jobs agenda. It is what we have been waiting six years for

In the new Congress, Republicans will have the majority in both the Senate and the House for the first time in eight years. As they get ready to take power, their rhetorical focus is clear: jobs, the economy, and more jobs.
So far, there are two main proposals on deck for the GOP. First, the Hire More Heroes Act, which would make it easier for small businesses that hire veterans to deny health care to their employees. Second, they want to immediately build the Keystone XL pipeline, a project that would transport oil from Canada to the Gulf Coast.
On their own, these are both extremely small-bore policies. But as a jobs agenda, this doesn't even rise to the level of pitiful. It's the latest evidence that Republicans continue to struggle with basic macroeconomics — and it does not bode well for the nation should they win the White House in 2016.

Jobs Agenda - crony capitalism, pork, corporate welfare, Democrat reelection slush fund
 
Those 'pitiful' efforts beat the hell out of anything the Democrats have offered for the last 6 years. BTW, is the Keystone XL pipeline going to build itself?

The Republican House and the anticipation of a Republican Senate to eliminate the Harry Reid pocket veto had more to do with jobs than anything the Democrats did.

For crying out loud....

Republicans have been whining about jobs for six years and they finally take control and this is the best they can lead off with?

Anything beats what the Democrats have been doing. Republicans have been passing job bills for Americans. That is not called whining.
You can't call cutting taxes for rich people a "job's bill". Even you know better.

Why of course it is a jobs bill

Just cut taxes on the rich and watch all those jobs just trickle down. What else are they going to do with the extra money, keep it?

They just took over congress today, they have yet to vote on anything, you're spewing your bull shit with nothing to back it up. Speaking of pathetic.
 
Plentiful jobs is a big issue with most Americans.

Unfortunately...the only jobs of concern to the political class, is their own.
 
You mean the "Force workers to work for minimum wage Jobs Bill"?

or the "End all Environmental Protections Jobs Bill"?

Who are you quoting?

And who is forced to work for minimum wage? Or you're just objecting to working and minimum wage is all you can get?
 
AND if the GOP proposed big legislation with no hope of passing you'd complain they were wasting their time on bills that wont pass.
Make up your mind, Nutsucker.

Sorry but it does.
You need to get your biased opining out of it in order to see that.
I said that more than half of the new jobs are part time.
Not half of this years only new jobs are part time.

I don't know if it your math skills or you are just being obtuse

Here is what you quoted

The number of people working part-time involuntarily is more than 50% higher than when the recession began.

That does not mean that 50% of the new jobs were part time. If two in ten jobs are part time and it goes to three in ten that is 50% higher. It does not mean that 50% are part time

Your link is, of course, very dishonest and misleading. There were 8,046,000 working PT for economic reasons when the Bush Regime crawled out of office and 9,114,000 at the peak of the Bush Depression. There are 6,850,000 now, quite an improvement under Obama and putting the lie to the claim that Obamacare is forcing people into PT work against their will.
Try again!
 
Progress will stall again.....
First Harry Reid stopped anything that came from the House.
Now Obama said he will veto the fuck out of anything that comes across his desk....

And the Libs have convinced people that the GOP is the party of no.
How is this possible?

OK, lets use your same starting and ending points for comparing the change in the UE rate for comparing the change in PT jobs, just to compare apples to apples to keep things honest, which no one on the Right will ever do.

In Oct 2013 there were 8,016,000 working PT for economic reasons and 7,027,000 in Oct 2014, a % DECLINE almost equal to the UE decline over the same period.

You suckers are sooooo easily misled when the professional liars on the Right compare apples to oranges by using different starting and ending points!!!
Be proud, be very, very proud!

Being that you regular claim the GOP has near 100% control over Government by way of stopping anything Dems/Obama wants... Then when you brag about the booming (lol) economy then you really mean Republicans caused it.

Or is this where your hypocrisy fucks up consistency.

Here's What Obama's 'Part-Time America' Really Looks Like
The president's critics love this talking point. But since 2010, full-time jobs are up 7.6 million, and part-time jobs have declined by more than 900,000.

Okay, but one year is just one year! Let's keep looking.

The second thing we should expect to see from Part-Time America is a growing number of part-time jobs since Obama came into office and started passing laws. Here's a graph showing the number of people working part-time for economic reasons since March 2010, the month Obamacare was passed.

.. dang it.
Maybe I'm being unfair. Three years of data just isn't much context. So let's draw back the lens and look at part-time workers as a share of the labor force since, say, 1980...










and then compare it to the unemployment rate (in RED) since 1980.

Why not follow Kansas jobs plan? You cut taxes (in the name of the wealthy) and whamo you have a major deficit. Then you cut everything you can so nothing resembles anything workable and you are billions in the hole. So what do you do to close the gap? Cut taxes again of course. The jobs come pouring in alright. In the surrounding states. Who in their right mind would go to a state ewith lousy education and a low standard of living? Answer? Nobody.
 
The Keystone Pipeline will supply 40% of America's petroleum while significantly lifting our dependence for oil from all the lunatic Opec nations on planet earth. It isn't just an important project for commerce, it's a major consideration for America's national security.
You know why you didn't add a link to that? Because you aren't allowed to link to your butt. And that's where you reached to find that fake info.

You would think after 150 years of failed conservative policies, Red States would catch a clue. Guess not. No wonder their leadership thinks it's a waste of money to educate them.
