The Republicans, Conservatives and a few Democrats, Liberals and their Talking heads, favorite Talking Point, their favorite Meme: Obama, promised unemployment wouldn’t go above 8%, ok, WHY did it go above 8%? Did Obama, fire workers and keep firing Americans from all around the Nations, from private Businesses, BIG and SMALL... No he did not? Did Obama, not, not propose Bills and work his ass off to pass them, in the House and sent to the Senate, to spur hiring... NO he did do that? WHY did unemployment go above, far above 8% to 9.5% and hover there for the last year? I propose it wasn’t, by far all Obama’s fault.
This is a favorite Meme of the Republicans, Conservatives and some few Democrats, in and out of elected office. I ask these, UN-ASKED and UN-ANSWERED QUESTIONS, because it totally unfair for Obama and Democrats to be labeled with this, they did everything elected Democrats said they would do and yes they could have done much more, but considering the intransigence Republicans. Everything done by President Obama and Democrats, has been legislating to lift the Economy, securely for the future and the Unemployed around the Nation and done it in every Industry, from Manufacturing to Finance, to Energy, to labor, to the States, including foreign Policy.
What are my UN-asked and UN-answered Questions? When Unemployment was at 8% back early in mid 08’ what did Republicans, Conservatives businesses do to lower unemployment? What exactly did they do to contribute to recovery for 22 straight months?
Can anyone tell me what Republicans actually did to bring down, or even keep unemployment from rising above 8%? Can anyone tell me that? I don’t hear, or think so because I haven’t read it in a Paper, or heard it on Cable TV and we all are not talking, or telling Editord and the Networks about it and is that because Republicans in Congress united to vote "No" on literally every Bill, even the bills that passed and those were with one, or two Republicans votes ... anyone tell me, do you even remember?
And all those Bills, the few that passed with those one, or two Republican votes, truth be told (Congressional Record) pretty much most of the bills passed out of the House, by Majority Democrats votes alone and those were not with out hundreds of Republican AMENDMENTS from, Moderate/Conservative Democrats to strip out and to weaken the Bills effect, especially all those bill designed for the ECONOMY’S RECOVERY and this tactic, of manipulating compromise, capitulation some say was alone, all by their Conservadems self’s maneuvered... with their Republicans and Conservative Lobbyist friends as well.
Republicans and Conservatives got hundreds of Amendments into the bills, all too weaken, water down, delay and obstruct the strength of the bill and the Right didn’t even vote for their own Amendments, after all that sabotage.
And the Bills passed, pretty much by Democrats alone out of the House... were not with out hundreds of Republican AMENDMENTS and some from, Moderate and Conservative Democrats... 400 Bills sit in the Senate, not because of Democrats in the SENATE!
What else didn’t the Republicans and Conservative Lobbyist do? Or not do? to help the Nations recovery from Republican Conservatives 8 long years of a Bush vetoless/110th Congressional dismantling and the destruction of the economy and its Economic and Consumer protections which were trashed leading to the economies crash starting in 07’ and as a added measure, the US Treasuries, midnight give away @ the discount-window (ushering in the head long rush and economies collapse), that was a really huge TRANSFER of WEALTH.
Any accounting then, or NOW of that stealing, by Banks and Finance Houses, including Lehman Bros, AIB, BOA, CHASE, JP. Morgan, is there any accounting, anywhere and I’ am talking the Transfer of Wealth, the give away, UNACCOUNTED... $2 Trillion of US Tax Payers money, starting 07’, Hank Paulsen over saw, remember?
