Where Is: "Where Are The Jobs?"?

The government cannot create jobs, except government jobs. And, boy oh boy, have they created lots and lots of government jobs since Obama took office. The problem is that we can't afford all of those josb!!! And saving jobs? That's doubtful. We've seen the lay-off numbers and unemployment numbers. Obama promised that the "stimulus" would keep unemployment numbers under 8%. How'd that work out? The Republicans are doing exactly what needs to be done. We need to cut spending - and we need to cut it even more than they're willing to cut. They need to include entitlement programs and the military in the cuts. Every department needs to be cut. Any time you visit a government office, you see the unnecessary people there. And in some cases, there are 3 or 4 or 5 departments doing the same things. Duplication needs to go as well. As another comment already says, businesses are not going to grow and add personnel or expand their businesses until and unless they know for certain that they won't be saddled with Obamacare or higher taxes. Obama's proposed budget has tax increases for small businesses. He proves day after day that he is not interested at all in seeing American grow and thrive. He's interested in ruing this country. That's the change he wanted to make and Obamafanatics just didn't get it. Some still don't.

So, "Where are the jobs?" The President promised them. Do you really think that a Republican controlled House with a Democratic Senate and a Democratic President? So why aren't you asking them about jobs? Where is the accountability on that end? Unless you want to hear the same excuses that the President has used in the past. They have only been in office for a couple of months. They have to clean up the mess from the last session. (Aka Last Year's budget.)

"the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office had declared that President Barack Obama's stimulus package had created or saved about 3 million jobs" They didn't "declare" anything of the sort. What they did was provide an ESTIMATE based on the numbers reported to them. That ESTIMATE was that it created or saved "between 1.4 million and 3.3 million" jobs. Of course I fully expect a left wing magazine like that to take the highest estimate possible and report it as fact. There's also the part that says the estimates could be higher than real numbers because "Some of the reported jobs might have existed in the absence of the stimulus package." There's also the FACT that on Obama's own website, recovery.gov, they were reporting millions of new jobs created in districts that didn't even EXIST. Regardless, Obama INSISTED that the stimulus MUST PASS or we would have a disaster with unemployment numbers going over 8%! So the morons in congress passed the stimulus and unemployment reached 10%! Wow, big win there right? "He and his comrades have focused on one thing: cutting government spending, which will undoubtedly lead to job loss in the short run (if not the long run)." Well Obama increased government spending drastically and it led to a nearly 3% increase in unemployment numbers. Now we need to cut spending to deal with the worst deficit this country has ever known. Did you know that the biggest deficit under Bush was just under $500 billion? Did you also know that right now, we are paying $600 billion annually just in interest on our debt? That is completely unsustainable. We need to cut spending and we need to cut it now. "They've also focused on abortion (with legislation that would make if hard3er for a woman who was raped to obtain federal assistance for an abortion)" That's just a lie put out by the pro-abortion crowd and you know it. It's been thoroughly debunked. "Sooo, should we ask Mr. Boehner, "where are the jobs?" and, what are his "leadership" plans to work with our president in promoting the creation of American jobs" Actually the GOP has worked with President Obama. He actually had the sense to listen to them after democrats were destroyed in the midterm elections. Sadly, his own party will NOT work with them which is why the process is going nowhere. The GOP has passed budgets in the House that the senate keeps voting down. They don't care about Obama, he's a patsy. He was never really running the show, Pelosi and Reid were doing that and he was too weak to stand up to them and he still is. "They became the new kids on the block and claimed they were eager to refurnish their image with the American public. Yet once in power, they have reverted to their old ways -- culture war and spending cuts..."" Actually those are NOT the old ways of the Republican party. If they had focused on spending cuts from 2001-2008 we wouldn't have had such a big deficit. Nope, they spent and they spent like crazy. Then once the democrats took over they spent even more, quadrupling an already record deficit.

Lets face the facts, the state of the country today did not start with Obama or Bush, it goes way back to Nixon. This collapse has been in the works for many years, we are just feeling the pressure now. The greedy will always be greedy. It's like the planet of the apes when they said "Ape shall never kill ape." The rich do not want us, the average person, around. We are only slaves to them, nothing more. Lets all move to Canada.

Let me make this perfectly clear. There are no jobs. There will be no jobs in the immediate future. Employment, such as manufacturing and other production, are not viable because there is no infrastructure at this time. In order to increase jobs, it will take, if we start tomorrow, three to five years to build new production facilities and/or renovate old facilities. Does not matter who is in office , dem or repub. Although the repubs have an edge to produce more jobs, since we see the dems can not produce a job unless it is a federal position

To quote gladys "Wait that's not fair. They've also focused on abortion ( with legislation that would make if hard3er for a woman who was raped to obtain federal assistance for an abortion). Planned Parenthood (with legislation to defund the outfit) NPR(ditto) ans American muslims 1. Abortion is not a federal issue so it should not be paid with federal money. If the states want to pay, that is acceptable with the appropriate legislation. 2. When you realize that it is really Planned UNparenthood, you would reconsider defunding. 3. NPR served its purpose in the past when news was not as readily available as it is today. Today, how can one justify the need to provide a subsidy to any TV or radio operation. Plus, the fact that it is a leftist propaganda machine should necessitate defunding. 4. American muslims What?

If you talk to employers they will tell you they are not going to hire with all the uncertainty. They want to know what is the government health insurance going to cost me? What will happen with unemployment insurance costs, it has gone from 26 weeks to almost 3 weeks and the government does not have the cost for the employer yet. The tax rate was only set for two years, what happens then a big rate increase? The president has reduced the amount of oil available and is pushing alternative energy. During the cold spell in Texas the wind mills did not work. Without reliable energy how can I run my business. There there are the government regulations which restrict where and how you can expand your business. What is going to happen with the Carbon Tax and how will that impact my business. Look what the Great Ethanol push did , it drove the cost of everything up including the cost of energy which was supposed to drop. What is going to happen to the Carbon Tax? If I start a business how much will I be taxed for energy or how much will my cost increase with no benefit to my business? Right now ther is easy money for home mortgages but not for business loans. The Government debt is taking money out of circulation so business can't get lines of credit because the government is borrowing the money. Do your math and see what those 3 million jobs cost. If the stimulus package was a low estimate of 7 to 8 billion dollars then each job cost $250,000 or more to save or create. Most of the jobs created were government jobs which means that for every year you have to tax people more to pay for those jobs. The more money the government takes in taxes the less there is for the private sector to create new jobs. Where are the jobs that President Obama promised us with the Stimulus - "With the stimulus package unemployment will not go above 8%." Then after the Health Care Bill was passed President Obama was going to focus like a laser on the creation of jobs." Mr. President Where are the jobs?

The same problem here in our country. The government keep saying that there are jobs but it's difficult to find them. I guess, it's better this way, working online at home.

I dont know how to break this to all the Obama supportors, but THE GOVERNMENT DOES NOT CREAT JOBS!!! If your a liberal you might want to stop reading, this may cause you heart issues: the only thing the government does is distroy jobs with all the stupied taxes. as for the health care bill, that is another job killer.if you want to creat jobs in the US you have to cut taxes and (yes brace your selves) lower the taxes on corporations. could it be, Reagan was right? "Government is not a solution to our problem,Government is the problem"--Ronald Reagan
