Do You Really Think That Republicans Want To Help Obama Create Jobs ?

If so, perhaps you should consider this, and then give your answer. In an article published on Townhall today, RNC Chairman candidate and former Ohio governor Secretary of State Ken Blackwell urges congressional conservatives to oppose the reinvestment and recovery stimulus plan promoted by President-elect Obama. Though he offers standard conservative arguments against the plan — including a screed against the growth of “big government” — Blackwell seemed most concerned about the political benefit Democrats might see from successfully boosting the economy. He warned that the bill, which calls for 80 percent job creation in the private sector, could create 600,000 new federal jobs — a problem because it would make it that much harder for for Republicans to win back Virginia. The bottom line is that, in an economy that lost 1.2 million jobs last year, Blackwell’s biggest concern is to block the creation of new jobs because those newly-employed Americans might vote Democratic.

1. 600,000 created jobs will be government that the tax payers have to pay. And a business is NOT going to be able to expand employment if you tax the hell out of them like Obama plans to do.
2. No. As they have proven over the course of the last eight years, republicans put party before country.
3. The government does not create jobs, the government levies taxes. The salaries of 600,000 new federal employees would be coming out of my paycheck and yours.
4. yes
5. Republicans are pro-American Economy, but anti-using taxpayer money to do so. I don't blame them as we're already a trillion or so dollars in bailing out companies that deserve to be wiped out for not realizing their corporate directives and management styles weren't obviously working for the past few years, but were too stupid to fix them in the end. Also, the Republicans literally had no say in the Auto and 700bn bailout earlier. And guess where that money went? To buy out other companies.
6. When government makes jobs, this is not creation in the truest sense. Government jobs are funded by taxpayers. If no one pays taxes, government salaries are not paid. Look at what is happening in California right now. Private sector marketplace grows for businesses and ideas that pay workers and both pay taxes to the government so that it can maintain systems that defend and protect us. The government is not the employer, its taxpayers are.
7. Republicans are saying that the ends to not justify the means. What you are saying is that the ends do justify the means, and that you hate Republicans. BTW, Government is not capable of creating PRIVATE SECTOR jobs, it can only create PUBLIC SECTOR jobs.
