Lazy Americans are Obama's Problem.


 It's TIME TO BLAME  Americans for being Lazy . It's also time to blame the Government too If you can say one thing about the ** GOP, it’s that they stick to the script when it comes to talking points. The latest GOP talking point – that Americans are lazy and like being unemployed – could very well be a winner for the Republicans , come election time.This is true ! There are millions of jobs out there. If you look at the classified section of the newspaper ,  (2) there are Job's. Job's !Why then do we have so many out of work , and a 9.2 % slump altoghter . We have the Department of Labor . Ok , what' is it's job? Obama's  plan is to seed money back again into the infostructure , so in theory construction work could generate more hiree's .  This was done before , it saved public jobs . Most construction Jobs are now being done by mostly 'day laborers' , honestly illigal 'cheap' workers  Job Creators — you know, the folks who ship jobs off to China, with most regulations stripped away, while enjoying the lowest taxes in generations.
POLITICIANS DON'T CARE.
This manifests itself in our politics in two ways. For one, it just so happens that policy-makers, pundits and politicians are drawn from the classes that are in recovery, and they live in an area where new sushi restaurants are opening all the time. For even the best-intentioned and most conscientious staffers and aides this has, I think, a subconscious effect. Think of it this way: two office buildings are operating side by side in Chicago's Loop in the middle of a brutally cold January day, when the heat in both buildings gives out. The manager of one building has an on-site office, so he finds himself plunged into cold; the other building is managed remotely, from a warm office whose heat is functioning. If you had to bet, you'd guess that the manager experiencing the cold himself would have a bit more urgency in restoring the heat. The same holds for the economy. The people running the country are not viscerally experiencing the depredations of this ghastly economic winter, and they lack what might be called the "fierce urgency of now" in getting the heat turned back on. 
That's strange since the  ( 3) Republicans campaigned in 2010 on "job creation." Yet the Republicans have held the majority in the House and NOT ONE Republican has offered a jobs plan to put Americans back to work. While hardworking Americans struggle to keep a roof over their head, food on the table, and the heat turned on, my Republican colleagues have not taken one single action to create jobs for the unemployed. The Republicans have completely abandoned any effort to create jobs and now are blatantly destroying good jobs with this Continuing Resolution. In fact, Speaker Boehner recently said "If some of those jobs are lost in the spending cuts, so be it." 
All they care about is defunding Planned Parenthood, getting rid of NPR even thought they tout Rush Limbaugh on Armed Services Radio, and raise getting of all the other social issues which seem to be more important to them than anything even vaguely resemble job creation. I simply cannot imagine anyone voting Republican any more... except, of course, for corporate CEOs and the very, very wealthy.  
Ex-Speaker of the House Tom Delay was the latest conservative to make the claim, as he told CNN’s Candy Crowley that unemployment insurance was the root of all evil:
Crowley: People are unemployed because they want to be?
Delay: well, it is the truth. and people in the real world know it. And they have friends and they know it. Sure, we ought to be helping people that are unemployed find a job, but we also have budget considerations that are incredibly important, especially now that Obama is spending monies that we don’t have.
Earlier in the week, Republican Senator Jon Kyl jumped on that talking point, as well.
“[Unemployment] doesn’t create new jobs. In fact, if anything, continuing to pay people unemployment compensation is a disincentive for them to seek new work.”
If there’s one thing that will guarantee a landslide November victory for the GOP, it’s Republicans telling the millions of jobless Americans that they’re lazy and just want to sit on their ass all day collecting a couple hundred bucks a week in unemployment. For the GOP, it’s a winning talking point.

NOTES& COMMENTS:
**....As for the GOP,well YOU all know THEY are too busy to create jobs,they are more concentrated on more and more,and more,yes "TAX CUTS" for the RICH,boring!!!..In fact,27 BILLS have passed trough this CONGRESS and "OFF"course,none of those BILLS were related to JOB GROWTH,TYPICAL CONS!!!......
(2) The first is 4.2. That's the percentage of Americans with a four-year college degree who are unemployed. It's less than half the official unemployment rate of 9 percent for the labor force as a whole and one-fourth the underemployment rate (which counts those who have given up looking for work or are working part time but want full-time work) of 16.1 percent. So while the overall economy continues to suffer through the worst labor market since the Great Depression, the elite centers of power have recovered. For those of us fortunate enough to have graduated from college — and to have escaped foreclosure or an underwater mortgage — normalcy has returned. (3) Politicans have always promised to create more jobs . Yep, we all heard it before .
