While Mittens is thanking emerency responders I hope they will be reminded of this:

Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney will head to Louisiana to tour damage from Hurricane Isaac.
Romney has scheduled a last-minute visit Friday to Lafitte, La., where he will tour damage with Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal. The storm canceled the first day of Romney's Republican convention, and his campaign has been considering a visit for several days. [...]

In Louisiana, Romney will thank emergency first responders for their work.

Well, Mittens just two months ago you were saying this...

Via Greg Sargent, Mitt Romney once again made it clear that his jobs plan is to fire government workers:

The Republican presidential candidate criticized his 2012 competitor for "pushing aside the private sector" and instead wants to add more government jobs. He cited the recent gubernatorial recall vote in Wisconsin as a sign voters want the opposite.
Romney said of Obama, "he wants another stimulus, he wants to hire more government workers. He says we need more fireman, more policeman, more teachers. Did he not get the message of Wisconsin? The American people did. It's time for us to cut back on government and help the American people."

Yep, every business can thank the fact that we have people who work to help us in all sorts of emergency situations.

THOSE government workers we need ... It's just all those OTHER government workers that we don't need.
