Why the Republican led house will Fail on Jobs creation
literally its like the psychiatrist word association test. He says "Taxes" - the Republicans reply "Cuts"

No - Congress will not be able to impose new Tax policy that encourages Corporations holding $2 Trillion cash reserves to invest that money here at home in America and create jobs.

No - Congress will not be able to enact legislation to increase Tax incentives for R&D to spur job growth. The reduced revenue would require additional spending cuts to remain under the Debt Ceiling and that is becoming harder and harder to find.

No - Congress will not be able to capture $Billions in Tax Revenue lost every year through Tax Loopholes on Off Shore Corporate profits. These same Tax Exemptions are attributed to outsourcing millions of American Jobs

No - payroll Tax cuts do not provide the needed "Consumption" to spur growth

Tax Cuts do not create jobs but Tax Policy that encourages economic growth right here at home in America does. As long as the Republican led congress demands all Tax Policy being enacted include cuts for Wealthy cash rich Corporations, there is little or no hope of Jobs Growth.

get big enough and vicious enough to take everyone down.

As long as Medicare SERVICES & Social Security are OFF OF THE TABLE - AND - AND - AND - ALL of the Bush Tax Cuts sunset as EVERYONE already agreed, we could come out of this HURT, but in pretty good shape if we can protect the tools by means of which to adapt appropriately, i.e. PUBLIC EDUCATION.

3. It's going to get interesting when they start opposing Obama's job creation initiatives.
Good luck running on that teafuckers.

4. They really believe you have to totally leave the market alone and
let it work its will. The Market will right itself
and create jobs.

They sure as heck do not believe the Government should
do anything.

Republicans like the issue of jobs to rub in the face
of Democrats. They have not one intention of doing
anything about it. Instead they will distract with
crazy legislative moves on the Deficit. Keep the people
distracted.

5. First and foremost, because they do not WANT to create jobs.
Read The Jungle.

It's WAY better to be an employer when all the job candidates are desperate.
