Default When Democrats Say 'Jobs,' They Really Mean 'Tax,' Republicans Say

Quote:
Republicans are calling Democrats' proposals for creating jobs a recipe for disaster -- one that will lead to more taxes, more deficit spending and more unemployment.

I looked around a little bit and couldn't find anyone saying that. They did say that the dollar rebounded and there is a fear that the interest rates may go up...Time will tell.

And when Republicans say "Jobs", they mean for CEO's only. Their policies put the rest of us out of work.
I have to ask a serious question here. How do the Republicans on here justify supporting a party that is virulently anti-union? Their policies send our jobs overseas, and they claim that's good because it results in lower prices at your local Walmart. Those prices better damn well be free, because if they get their way, you won't have a job to pay for anything. But, look on the bright side, with no job and no income, you'll definitely pay less taxes.

You forgot one thing, health insurance won't be an issue either because you will qualify for Medicaid! Looking better all the time.

Conservative Republican policies support pro-business policies. Why wouldn't you support that? Without business's making a profit and growing the size of the company, there would no jobs for the unions to organize.
I don't believe the Republicans are anti-union. I think the true conservative Republican know its not the governments place to either help or hurt the unions. We have to stand on our own. Just like any business that provides a service. Because the unions are a business, and they do provided a service.
If you look at the democrats policies, they anti-business, anti-growth, and a big reason we loose a ton of jobs to other countries.
