I Hate To Say I Told You So, But I Told You So...
The CUT, CAP And BALANCE Plan That The Tea Party Was SCREAMING For And The GOP Was FIGHTING For Was Designed To CUT JOBS!
Remember What Senator Mitch McConnell Said That His Main Goal Is To Make Sure OBAMA Fails...
With The Help Of Thier CORPORATE BENFACTORS The GOP Has Been Able To Gain Control of The Legislative And The Judicial Branch Of Government...In Order For The GOP To Gain Control Of The White House, They Have To TURN Every American Drean Into A Nightmare...Even If It Means MORE American's Lose Their JOBS, Their HOMES And Their HOPE For The Future.
Hopelessness And Despair IS The GOP'S Plan, NOT JOB CREATION!
We Are Not Dealing With A Power Struggle On Capital Hill Between Democrats And Republicans...We Are In The Middle Of A "Financial Civil War", And The Lack Of JOBS Is Just One Of Many Financial Casualties We Are Going To Be Dealing With In The Weeks And Days To Come...
Believe It Or Not There Are Democrats And Republicans On Capital Hill Who Want Our Fellow Americans And Our Country To Suffer, So They Can Gain Control Of The White House!
After The Debt Ceiling Debate John Boehner Brags About Getting 98% Of What He Wanted In The Debate...98% Of What Boehner, McConnell, The GOP And The Tea Party Wanted Was SPENDING CUTS, Even If It Meant CUTTING The THROATS Of Every American In The Process...
Mr. Trumka Go To The 2012 Presidential Covention, In Fact Go To Both The Democratic And The Republican Convention And Find Out What Their Plan Is For The PEOPLE!
Money Talks With These PAID-LITICAL LEECHES, So CUT Them OFF!
If Spending CUTS = LOST JOBS
Then Lets CUT These PAID-LITICAL Leeches JOBS In 2012, So They Can Join Our Fellow Americans In The Unemployment Line...

.Im a IBEW union member, those old deep pockets, pencil-pushers heads of the AFL-CIO are Hypocrits. They been sitting in their offices too long patting themselves on the back for doing nothing toward the union cause.We're losing members, because of old ideaology.Each one of those sinkos make big money for doing nothing......I rarely see a union commercial in the northeast....in Ct. contractors treat us like second class,and got thier hands in our cookie jars that we earned, same members working all the time,same members get laid off, Most of the locals don't like minorities working. Our I.O. is worthless and not part of the solution ,but truely part of our problem.....so before you fat guys start blasting Obama.....you better take care of your own backyard,!... before union true colors come out to the press !

The concept is to “piggy back” on the “Jobs Component’ of the Deficit Reduction Committee package by adding H.R. 909 as a means to:
• create the 3 million oil, gas and renewable energy jobs claimed by Nunes from H.R. 909;
• increase GDP by a full 2% per year from the increase domestic production of oil & gas over the long term as claimed by Nunes and others;
• increase tax revenue by $2.2 trillion from the increase domestic production of oil & gas over the long term as claimed by Nunes and others;
• use the $2.2 trillion increase in tax revenue to pay for and fully fund Obama’s $1.7 to $2.2 infrastructure jobs proposal that includes a “Buy American” provision similar to the ARRA public project provision; and
• fully fund and create the 1 to 2 million in immediate infrastructure jobs as claimed by Obama and others.
And as we have discussed, seek to modify H.R. 909 to include “jobs to created in the U.S.” and “capital investment to made in the U.S.” as part of the selection criteria for the H.R. 909 RENEWABLE ENERGY TRUST FUND GRANTS to assure renewable energy manufacturing expansion occurs in the U.S.
