Jan Schakowsky release awesome Jobs Bill
 

The President is crazy if he doesn't fully endorse this, and add the Infrastructure Bank to it. This plan would absolutely turn the economy around.

List of bridges and roads that are dangerous now
 

New York bridges need repair now

Oklahoma has just been ranked by a transportation watch dog group as having some of the worst bridges in the country. The Oklahoma Department of Transportation adds that one in five bridges need to be repaired or replaced. http://www.kjrh.com/dpp/news/local_n...th-bad-bridges

Safety not yet paramount as Michigan roads and bridges deteriorate

The 10 Pieces of U.S. Infrastructure We Must Fix Now
No one can predict what bridge, levee or water main will fail next. But some problems are widely known, and work is long overdue - Brooklyn Bridge, Chicago, New Orleans http://www.popularmechanics.com/tech...merica/4257814

Etc., etc.

Even the President knows Jan Schakowsky is crazy. You realize oil companies employ people no? Start small, give jan a dollar bill and let her show her trick of turning it into a $1.60. :zz:

BTW Is her husband still in prison or out? :wf

Give me a religious man/woman before a crazy one any day!

Your personal opinions about Jan Schakowsky doesn't have much to do with the validity what's listed as job suggestions, does it? What do you think of the suggestions? Pretend Carl Rove suggested it. I know it will make you have to think. You can do it!

Look at the picture posted for the circle interchange in Chicago. There's construction work going on.

Jan believes in magic and there's no way to make cars disappear so there's going to be congestion!

Carl Rove isn't an idiot and realizes big cities come with congestion and especially in the case of chicago where the downtown area is small and unreachable from the east.

Actually I don't think Jan would be a part of it either unless there was something in it for hubby.

If you want new bridges, put up tolls and make the people using the bridge pay for it! Just don't let them (Government) steal the money and put it towards something else once the project has broken even, like the IL toll system.

If we're going to tax millionaires and billionaires, let's put it into a rainy day account for Social Security. We'll reduce the debt, save on interest payments EVERY year and let the people who paid in and rely on their SS checks to go to bed without worry!

This is a joke right?

Why can't morons like Schakowsky realize that people need real jobs not temporary busywork?

Do we really need to create "jobs" for 16 year olds?
What happens to the 400k construction jobs once the schools are fixed?
Who pays for the 250k maintenance men when the fed money runs out? Or are they temporary as well?
Where are 300k teachers needed? Who pays for them once the federal money runs out? Are those 300k also going to be teachers union members? Same with the Fireman and police officers? Who pays them once the fed money runs out? What about the hundreds of millions of dollars in benefits these people will accrue?
Who pays for that?
What is a part-time work study job and why is it a priority?
750k "community" jobs? Sounds like 749k jobs working for the Democratic political machine.

As usual the left produces a plan that will serve to raise taxes on everyone disguised as a tax on the evil rich. You don't have to be Karl Rove to see eventually these "jobs" will all become the burden of the regular tax paying middle class in the form of higher property, sales and school taxes. Of course the Dems will use this Act as a basis to argue for more class warfare while implementing more and more taxes to fund what really is a giant voter recruitment program.

spend a quarter trillion dollars so everyone is out of work again in 3 months and kids get summer jobs? no thanks.

I think these are ideas that have merit!

Spot On!

Yet we STILL bring in H1B Guest Visa Workers and Lock them into the company that sponsered them so they have NO bargining power whatsover. Quasi Slave labor. We still hand out extensions to these visas very easily. Why? Are we stuck in a 1999 time-warp?

So since these are apparently all fake jobs, let's hear your plan for creating real ones. I've yet to hear one legitimate jobs initiative from any conservative, in congress or out.

Cry about socialism and big government all you want, this country badly needs a WPA-style jobs program to reanimate the middle class and increase consumer spending. Tax cuts haven't done it, and Schakowsky's right that 'incentivizing' and all the other terms that essentially translate to giving corporations more breaks that they never use to hire workers anyway are a load of bullshit.

There has been pretty much nothing but Republican economic policy implemented since the sackless one entered office and unemployment is still a huge problem. So either lay out a definitive, direct jobs initiative or get off the pot. Or is this current situation OK with you?

Not remotely what this is, but thanks for playing :tro:

C'mon, be reasonable - they've given rich people - whoops, "Job Creators" - multiple increasing tax cuts both personal and corporate over the past 10 years, if we just do some more tax cuts, surely The J. Creator will begin to create magic jobs out of thin air!

(I know we've actually lost millions of jobs under that plan already, but hey, Reagan promised it would work, and I believe. Even though his finance guy Regan later said "trickle down" was full of crap and didn't work at all. Like we've seen. But you gotta "believe")

Yes, we do need a WPA style program. All this purposeful distraction nonsense about "OMG ZE DEFICIT!" was a complete waste of time. The Dems let themselves be lead by the nose down that silly path. Someone better step up, and if it's the Progressive Caucus, good for them. Let the Republicans shout down job creation.

This Republican House has already earned the reputation of the "do nothing" House, the worse, most ineffective/inactive House in years. All they do is name post offices. We won't be seeing anything useful from them. They refuse to even extend unemployment benefits. Better those Americans starve if they are too lazy to create a job out of thin air and get back to work on their own.

Yay, Republican economic plan! Destroy the country, lower our credit rating, keep Americans starving, out of work, in poverty, with no health care in a backwards economy. Yay!

I said I wouldn't read this horrendous stuff down here..so shoot me.



Now this isn't going to be the most popular comment some of you have ever heard......and I know men in politics haven't exactly been doing fine work, but would women in politics please remain silent and just sit there and look vaproized? The latest batch of females have come out with some of the dumbest public failure iterations known to ....man.







God they're stupid!!










And that's being kind.

Just sayin:tro::tro::tro:
However. Easy on the Eyes

Thanks so much.



So true....so I guess the prettier,the dumber.

Harry Clinton is the exception.

Who pays for these jobs when the Fed govt money runs out? These aren't real jobs, these are federally funded temp jobs. Are the hundreds of thousands of student and youth jobs going to help the middle class? Are the maintenace jobs what middle America is looking for? Who pays for the billions of dollars in residual benefits these workers will acrue?

Your girls plan is a joke and supporting it without coming up with answers for the questions posed shows a lack of basic understanding of how the real world works and what the jobs issue entails.
