That the Republican plan for Jobs, to decrease unemployment, is to Fire people. Some laughed because it was funny and seemed completely illogical and wrong-headed. I wasn’t laughing – because that IS their plan. At a time when we have soaring unemployment – their plan is to, literally, Fire People. At a time when we have a wages that are too low to support our economy, their plan is to Lower Wages on those who can least afford it, while protecting the “high-income” earners’ salaries and offering THEM tax cuts.
If that is not enough, http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2011/08/14/295506/pushing-low-corporate-taxes-bachmann-rejects-extending-jobless-benefits-because-we-dont-have-the-money/
We don’t have enough money to pay teachers well or extend unemployment benefits, but apparently we have more than enough and can refuse due income.
