Republicans campaigned on, and have lied perpetually
about their storied “40 bills” on job creation such as opening up our
world leading oil production for American jobs, building Canadian
corporation TransCanada’s Keystone pipeline, reducing tax rates for the
rich and corporations, balancing the budget, and abolishing
environmental regulations. Boehner and Paul Ryan have complained
bitterly “that all 40 jobs bills are dying over there in the United
States Senate.” The problem for Americans is that beginning in January
the 40 jobs bills, all gifts to corporations, will be brought to life
and instead of creating jobs, will create more wealth for the
one-percent at the expense of the poor, the middle class, Americans’
health, and of course jobs; typical Republican economics.
None of the House jobs bills were designed to create
even one job. It is difficult, indeed, to imagine any American believes
that abolishing overtime pay, giving tax breaks and credits to
corporations outsourcing Americans’ jobs, or providing tax incentives
for the rich and corporations to conceal their wealth offshore will
create jobs; but many are stupid enough to believe lying Republicans and
probably think they did pass 46 jobs bills. But for any American
capable of a 6-year old’s cognitive ability, or noted economic experts,
the GOP’s jobs bills are a joke.
According to five noted economists who reviewed the
storied jobs bills, three decades of trickle-down economics, current
economic disasters in Republican states, and current economic successes
in blue Democratic states, not one of the Republicans’ so-called “jobs
bills” will have any measurable impact on job growth.
