(56,827 posts)Not to mention several times that in support staff/aides. Not to mention all the bureaucracies in the White House that employ a few million people around the country...
In fact, George W. Bush would have had a horribly negative job creation record if it were not for the tons of government jobs added during his 8 years. (I think he was flat otherwise, but I could be wrong)

He emits noxious fumes every time he opens his mouth.
Eric Cantor is the perfect example of government waste. He wastes time and taxpayer money on things the majority of the American people don't care about. What's wrong with government today? Look no further than Eric Cantor.
Resign, Cantor--if you really want to cut back on wasteful government excesses, that's the best thing you could possibly do.
This isn't a game, although Cantor seems to think it is.

(37,726 posts)so what the entire country, including FOX Noise is smelling a hoard of overripe turds, trying to pass themselves off as "honorable" republican statesmen and women. I liked Ike, but since then, the GOP has become a festering party of greed and selfishness. Church members one and all, but they are always the first to rob the poor and the downtrodden. I think Jeebus would be as sick of their stinking shit, as you and me are! Fix the pipes you lazy Bastids!

(359 posts)Should any political party attempt to abolish social security unemployment insurance and eliminate labor laws and farm programs you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group of course that believes you can do these things. Among them are a few other Texas oil millionaires and an occasional politician or business man from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid.
Can you imagine a Republican making this statement today? Can you imagine what Ike would make of the Republican party today?
We can only hope that "we(will) not hear of that party again in our political history." Doesn't seem to be happening though.

(7,392 posts)While Wallace did a pretty good job at times he badly fumbled the ball and at a key moments at that. Cantor told Wallace We will have a vote on a series of bills at some point" without pinning Cantor down on the framework those bill will have. I think we can be pretty sure that they will be a temporary 3 month extensions at existing spending levels in an effort to stuff the sequester down Obama's throat. I can't see that getting past the Senate in a million years, nor the sure Presidential veto so this just reinforces Wallace's point about wasting time passing bill that have no chance of becoming law, while forcing a partial government shutdown. And why didn't Wallace pin Cantor down on why the House refuses to go to conference on a budget because that budget would then be the framework for the stalled appropriation bills -- the sole purpose of the budget in the first place. Lastly, there was nothing on what Cantor planned to do about the debt ceiling that will be hit soon after Congress comes back from break. So between key questions not asked and no follow-up on a key Cantor comment I would grade Wallace a D+ today. But at least it is not an F.
