3. Right
They just don't get it. Of course, their efforts to repeal "Obamacare" are fully endorsed by the entity known as the "Tea Party". I wager we won't hear one peep from the Tea Party about the Republican's lack of singular focus on jobs.

2. They lied about "trickle down" economics, too
They said giving the wealthy back more money will enable them to "invest" in jobs and the economy here at home. They lied.

The wealthy took their newfound wealth and invested...overseas.

What made any of us think they would invest it here?

Feel "punked?" I do...

4. We all knew that
But the people that actually VOTED for these clowns? Those people it doesn't matter to. They don't possess critical thinking skills and are just looking for the 'next shiny thing to be indignant about' and/or to dress up in late 18th century garb and protest in Washington.

5. They'll falsely claim everything is a "job killer"
thus, no matter what they are doing, they are focusing on "jobs" :eyes:

6. The government can't force businesses to hire.

Besides, their main objective is for Obama to fail. If more jobs are created, that means he has succeeded.
