Sorry I wasn’t as clear. Most military families (particularly those in training) make less than threshold to pay income taxes

I didn’t say for how many years those jobs would last but you have no idea either. My guess is it would be closer to 1 than to 5 years. It is still $279K per job. Even $55K per year per job of taxpayer money is to much to ask productive Americans to pay for someone else’s job. The left has some kind of gall expecting taxpayers to keep footing the bill for the left to spend our money on the programs that will only help the left’s constituents, just like the first stimulus, just so the left will stay in power and continue us on the road to ruin.

While we’re at it, people who don’t vote for Republicans should stay home too!

You know who doesn’t pay federal taxes?? Enlisted service-people, the elderly, the disabled, the caregivers of the disabled.Those are the members of the %47 that your savior has such distaste for.

“[M]y job is is not to worry about those people. I’ll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives.”

Mitt & Ann do not care about “those people.” If you’re not rich, you’re screwed!

Obama/Biden 2012

This means Reps/Dems/Ind/Tea Party…all have allowed the budget to swell to this point.

This also means 20% is everything else (e.g):

HUD
CDC
HHS
Education
Justice
FBI, CIA
EPA
Homeland Security
TSA
Coast Guard…

ALL their budgets, pensions, labor contracts, real estate (owned or leases),…everything only equals TWENTY PERCENT.

So, unless politicians CUT (and I mean drastically CUT, FIRE, ELIMINATE) those four (4) programs we are just wasting our time with increasing taxes, blaming this and blaming that…

Either of these mouths keep saying I will/could/can create ____ million jobs.

Nonsense!

The ONLY way govt creates jobs is by creating departments (read TSA, Homeland ‘Security’). They place them on the govt teet and bam you have a liability.

Because if ANYONE thinks that govt actually cuts jobs or budgets for that matter is crazy.

But again – politicians SAY that because citizens want to HEAR it. They are not actually going to CUT a budget or REPEAL a law.

They love their cake job that citizens pay for and they never want to leave…

You actually think that the created jobs will only last for one year…..at a one-time annual salary of $279K per job??? 4th grade math shows that if those jobs last only 5 years, the investment seed cost is only $55K per job…which goes down even further for every year after that. Like you said….Brilliant idea.

Average the two job figures you quoted you get $1.6 million jobs. Divide that into $447 billion it would cost and you get $279,375 per job. Brilliant idea.

Two independent economists — Mark Zandi of Moody’s Analytics and Joel Prakken of Macroeconomics Advisers — had estimated that Obama’s proposed American Jobs Act would add more than 1 million jobs. Zandi claimed it would add 1.9 million jobs; Prakken 1.3 million. Senate Republicans blocked the $447 billion measure, and Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell denounced it as “a charade that’s meant to give Democrats a political edge” in 2012.

P.S. This study was done by independent, non-partisan economic & statistical firms.

What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall. No normal human being would have the gall of a Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President for creating deficits. The President can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it.

It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million cannot replace 545 people who stand convicted — by present facts — of incompetence and irresponsibility. I can’t think of a single domestic problem that is not traceable directly to those 545 people. When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise the power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist.

Those 545 people, and they alone, are responsible.

Lastly, if you have never been in dire straights, been behind on your mortgage, not able to get your kid that gift that they really really want, grew up with parents that had it tough and were unable to afford college, don’t judge! Romney as with most middle class white people, have no clue of what its like to struggle and don’t have anyone to help you out. Most of the time, they never try and reach back and help other people. Its always their fault they are not successful. You can’t pick your parents or family. Circumstances makes or break people and in most instances break people. Bush didn’t care about PEOPLE….so how do we expect Romney to care. OUT OF TOUCH WITH “REAL” PEOPLE, that makes this country what it is.

Let Jerusalem deal with their own neighbors. Stop picking sides (usually the wrong ones).

We babble about national security and advance in Iraq/Afghan/Pak…but do not bother to even speak with Saudi Arabia/Yemen/Syria (pssst where the terrorists are actually TRAINED and DEPLOYED).

Instead we look like chumps receiving gold necklaces from Saudi princes (Bush – how embarrassing).

If Iran has nukes let Jerusalem go bomb them – god knows we give them enough money AND weapons. Not to mention their fighters are superior to ours (if not the best in the world).

And, of course the money issue. We just do NOT have the money to keep giving the sand nations – we do not. We can keep fooling ourselves by having the Federal Reserve print IOUs for money but eventually that will end horribly.

As far as Romney and Obama – they are very much one and the same. Almost ALL politicians are…they talk a great game – but just run their mouths.

They spend gobs of money that is NOT theirs and want to be re-elected from DAY ONE. They love the job and get some kind of power trip from being in political office.

They both voted to invade Iraq/Afghan…they both voted for TARP…they both think the Federal Reserve is great…they both think govt programs are AWESOME (yes they do – one likes entitlements the other loves the military…neither of which we can afford).

Neither of which served in the military but how convenient they LOVE to engage us in wars (conflicts is such a dumb word).

I have not seen ONE act (from either one) that REPEALS a bill in govt. Instead both want to enact new ones. They both are funded from groups that eventually will request favors.

Neither one understands a THING about outsourcing and how regardless of how hard you try the ‘global economy’ forces wages LOWER.

Few differences here and there on immigration and abortion and religion but that is just about it.

Should be MORE worried about the 535 boneheads (aka Congress) since they do most of the law’making’.
