Easy Politics

Hello My name is Trey Wright this is my first Blog on politics. Well yes I'm a strict Democrat that is going to give you liberal news. My two favorite presidents of all time are Bill Clinton and F.D.R (Franklin Delano Roosevelt). This is about the jobs in America and why it is hard for President Obama to create jobs. We have been hard on Barack Obama to deliver jobs, but most of us don't see why the results aren't coming. Well, this is what I have to say. You people have been lied to by Fox news, Bill O'Reilly, Rush Limbaugh and Glen Beck if people actually still listen to him.

I got this information from THINK PROGRESS.COM, President Obama's plan was to make a stimulus package that might take a little money but it would have created 1.9 million Jobs. "The plan included stimulus spending in the form of immediate infrastructure investments, tax credits for working Americans and employers to encourage consumer spending and job growth, and efforts to shore up state and local budgets to prevent further layoffs of teachers, firefighters, police officers, and other public safety officials.  Yea, I know what your thinking that's a lot of jobs, so how come it didn't pass through congress right? I will give you the name of the men who helped deny these jobs to those who need jobs to feed their families. John Boehner and Mitch McConnell,  these guys used the filibuster among other tactics to stop the Jobs Act and slow economic growth.

The predicted growth is what we'll use since the Jobs Act didn't pass and believe me, it would have created a better flowing economy; but the economy is slowly getting better. -Moody’s Analytics estimated the American Jobs Act would create 1.9 million jobs and add two percent to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). –The Economic Policy Institute (EPI) estimated it would create 2.6 million jobs and protect an addition 1.6 million existing jobs. –Macroeconomic Advisers predicted it would create 2.1 million jobs and boost GDP by 1.5 percent. –Goldman Sachs estimated it would add 1.5 percent to GDP. 

Let's think about this for a second... OK, if we are talking about 2 million jobs, that bring unemployment to just below 7%. Now, if we could go back in time and stop the republican Governors from laying off 800,000 government workers (teachers, police, firefighters and public safety officials), unemployment would be below 6%. So, the question becomes, if you are middle class, upper-middle class, under-employed or unemployed, how could you be a Republican?
