POTUS Wins Again - Releases Jobs Plan Directly to American People via Email
by ericlewis0
I received an email at around 1:30pm ET today from the White House, entitled,
Get on the Bus: Opening the Door to New Jobs
The majority of the email is reprinted after the jump. I have bolded the list of details in his plan - these are the points that Frank Luntz will surely be working overtime this weekend to try and distort, so hopefully that will give President Obama a good 48 hours of peaceful vacation in Martha's Vineyard, as the GOP scrambles. Ha-ha.
The White House email:
............................
Throughout his trip, the President proposed a series of common sense steps Congress can take immediately upon their return to Washington that will start rebuilding our economy. These include:
Extend the payroll tax cut so that middle class families have more money in their paychecks next year. If you've got more money in your paycheck, you're more likely to spend it, and that means businesses of all sizes will have more customers. They'll be in a better position to hire.
Extend unemployment benefits so that millions of workers who are still pounding the pavement looking for jobs can support their families
Pass a bipartisan road construction bill. There are over a million construction workers out of work after the housing boom went bust, just as a lot of America needs rebuilding. We can put these workers back to work by rebuilding our roads and bridges and railways.
Pass the patent reform bill to help our innovators and entrepreneurs get their job creating ideas to market faster.
Pass the trade agreements that will help businesses sell more American-made goods and services to Asia and South America, supporting tens of thousands of jobs here at home.
Put our bright, talented and skilled veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan to work. The President has proposed several initiatives to make sure our veterans are able to navigate this difficult labor market and succeed in the civilian workforce, including the Returning Heroes and Wounded Warrior Tax Credits, and his challenge to the private sector to train or hire 100,000 unemployed veterans.

4. In the old days, Republicans liked infrastructure projects
Now if Obama proposes something, they are against it no matter what it is.
He will pick up some Republican votes for this.
What about all the shovel ready jobs stimulus was supposed to give us? So now we are supposed to believe that this time the shovel ready jobs will appear?
0bama himself admitted that there are no shovel ready jobs.

45. Hopefully the GOP will get serious and realize that the public is
demanding something be done about jobs. That doesn't mean that they will cooperate with anything the Democratic side of the aisle will propose. They have proven that they will not support any ideas and proposals coming from Obama's administration. As, most people are aware, the GOP Congressionl members have openly stated that their only goal is to bring down Obama. So we can only hope that something good will come of this and the GOP will put America first in place of protecting corporate capitalist's interests. Guess we'll find out, right?
Most people are going to realize that this "plan" is the same exact thing that has been tried already and has failed miserably, just because Kellogg puts "New and Improved" on their cornflakes does not mean that they are any better than the last box you bought.

48. Hopefully you are right. If the Republicans have any job plans
at all, they should come forth with them now or they would really show disinterest in the jobs dilemma. They might just continue to attack the Democratic proposals without suggesting solutions as they have done all along. The only thing positive I have heard from the GOP Congress is Bachmann's struggle to allow the US public to buy incandescent lightbulbs. And that is questionable.
The best plan for jobs, is getting the govt out of the way and allowing the private sector to prosper and start hiring folks.

36. This pathetic plan is nothing new and WON'T CREATE SHIT
Continue payroll tax cut?... ummm... where were the jobs created from the initial payroll tax cut?
Patent reform... won't do anything for years
Extend unemployment... how's that going to help create MORE jobs than now?
Road construction bill... might do a little. BUT THE ECONOMY IS MUCH MORE THAN ROAD CONSTRUCTION.
Free trade... probably won't help create jobs. Might even be a small net loss.
Veterans job initiative?... They want to help 100,000 veterans... how about the MILLIONS OF NON VETERANS UNEMPLOYED RIGHT NOW?
This is utter shit.
Another troll.

41. Do not worry, the teaRoarist reps will just say NO since they don't
wanna see any job created by the Obama Administration.
If 0bama's plan had worked the first time and all his shovel ready jobs materialized and the economy was strong, I think the Tea Party would not exist at least not in its present form.
We would love for tons of jobs to be created, that would mean that what 0bama is doing was working, instead he has failed at every step and wants to keep on doing the same thing.

The only shovel ready jobs are for those shoveling Obama shit.

POTUS Wins Again - Releases Jobs Plan Directly to American People via Email
Um, what did the POTUS win at exactly? Some aide jerked out a quick e mail with the same old same old, hit send, and called it a day. And this DUmmies was trilled to get it! I would be more excited if someone sent me LOLcats.

I just don't think that the DUmbass understands what "win" means.

I'll take this one. Interesting ..... The DUmmies don't believe tax cuts create jobs but O'bama seems to. If it works for payroll tax why not the other stuff?

Back when I was a candidate for the Jackass Party I had some ideas that I intended to suggest to cut unemployment. I never got a around to making them public before I dropped out of the race. I guess it wouldn't hurt to post them here.
1. Increase the number of employees at the stable where the unicorns are being kept. There are millions of unicorns being kept there and just not enough staff to care for them. The unicorns are shitting so much Skittles that the unemployment number could be lowered by one percent just by hiring enough employees to properly sweep up all of the Skittles that the unicorns produce.
2. Establish a new department that is responsible for dealing with packaging/marketing the unicorn excrement.
3. Establish a new department that is responsible for the actual delivery of the unicorns. Millions of people are still waiting to receive their promised unicorns.
None of these ideas would completely solve the jobs problem, but I feel that there is a chance that the ideas, if implemented, would help a small amount. Plus the ideas completely follow the spirit of the Jackass Party

These people need to sit down and really listen to the lyrics of a song by the Who...
We'll be fighting in the streets
With our children at our feet
And the morals that they worship will be gone
And the men who spurred us on
Sit in judgment of all wrong
They decide and the shotgun sings the song
I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around me
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
And I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again
Change it had to come
We knew it all along
We were liberated from the fall that's all
But the world looks just the same
And history ain't changed
'Cause the banners, they all flown in the last war
I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around me
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
And I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again
No, no!
I'll move myself and my family aside
If we happen to be left half alive
I'll get all my papers and smile at the sky
For I know that the hypnotized never lie
Do ya?
There's nothing in the street
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye
And the parting on the left
Is now the parting on the right
And the beards have all grown longer overnight
I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around me
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again
No, no!
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss

Don't these idiots realize that extending the payroll tax cuts is just hurting Social Security even more. Come on people, think of the old people.

BUT, that means DUmmies have more money for cheetos and pizza, so to hell with the old people.
Especially if they are rich, old people. :-)

My "Job Plan for Americans"....send all the illegals plus their illegal families back where they came from, then tell DUmmies "If you want some form of government check/support, you're going to do that job that Americans won't do." No work, No support.

Exactly.
And that's what's going to have to happen.
And the sooner it happens, the better for us, and for those yet unborn.

Wait just a minute! I don't want some damn democrat on my property, mowing and taking care of the shrubbery and flower beds. They steal.
Mexicans work hard, for a fair price, and I've never heard of anyone having trouble with thievery. So, how about deporting all of them except the ones who do lawn and garden work. And roofers and painters. And pool guys.

What I want to know is if this will increase the amount of income you are taxed on at the end of the year? Sure, you get a bit more in your paycheck but what good does it do you if you end up having to pay that amount back and a bit more in income taxes.
