Republicans where are the Jobs!

Last November the Republican party love to say where are the jobs. Pushing to get the vote, well they got the vote. Now where are the jobs? They have been in office for over a month no jobs created zero to date. But there new budget cuts will create 650,000 government job losses and 325.000 privet sector job losses. The only thing John Boehner has to say about is..( so be it ) What a guy he is. Now today the unemployment rate is on the rise again 9.2 %. Now when them 975,000 hit the unemployment office what will happen to the unemployment rate. It might hit above 10%. Could this be a ploy to keep the unemployment rate high so Obama can not be re-elected?? And I do think it will get much worst after the republican party start making there cuts in there own states. I hope those of you who voted republican have a change of heart. Because we are going down hill fast thanks to the republicans.

15 months ago: Obama voted YES on every war funding bill that came along. Since Obama has been in office, he has tripled the number of troops in Afghanistan, http://wac.0873.edgecastcdn.net/800873/b... and continues to spend $160 billion/year on the two fronts.

As soon as the conservatives can rescind some of the job killing legislation foisted on the country by a Democratic congress, the jobs will start to reappear.
15 months ago: Well some of there cuts seem to have nothing to do with job killing legislation. GOP giving big Bird the GOP pink-slip pell grants employment training and many more. And the only people there cuts will effect is the poor. It seems like a one sided view here. Where are the cuts that hurt the rich?
15 months ago: The only ones that will be effected by the cut in Pell Grants is the poor?

Did I read your words correctly?
15 months ago: well everyone who use pell grants will be effected
15 months ago: Not just the poor?
15 months ago: The Federal Pell Grant is awarded to individuals considered to be financially disadvantaged to help them pursue higher education.
15 months ago: Really? Your sure? You want me to hold off while you read up a bit before I continue? I'll be happy to wait if you ask. Give me a time limit to hold on my posting and you will have the last word if you speak the full truth in a comment.
15 months ago: yes I am sure I know you have a point you want to put across so spit it out.
15 months ago: You sure you don't want to read up a bit? You sure you don't want a chance to post the full truth?

Here is the official U.S. government website link. All you need to do is read the words.

http://www2.ed.gov/programs/fpg/index.ht...

It's right there on that website. Take off the blinders and read the words.

Last chance to ask for a hold while you look at the official government website.
15 months ago: What is your point it does not effect the poor? It does effect the poor no matter how you put it. ...........Program Description

The Federal Pell Grant Program provides need-based grants to low-income undergraduate and certain postbaccalaureate students to promote access to postsecondary education.
15 months ago: Wow! You did me a favor and posted some good words found on the official website.

Did you read the words in your own comment? You want to fully truth your own comment?
15 months ago: that's what I have been waiting for:)
15 months ago: So then pick me apart using only the words you posted from the oficcial government website.

Or, do you need to read them again? I can prove you wrong with one simple statement that is directed towards the words in your own reply.

You sure? Is the game on? Use your own post to make your point.

I'll cut it down to the cold hard TRUTH in one comment.

Your last chance. I'm playing nice.
15 months ago: I know your evil Cypress you don't fool me lol and your point is?
15 months ago: I don't know if this comment will post in the right spot.

What is your point it does not effect the poor?

No, my point is that Pell Grants are and always have always been a way for the federal government to hand out free money to those they deem worthy.

No? I suggest you read your own comment. Again and again if needed.
15 months ago: You know I'm evil? Is that a hate statement?

I thought I was playing nice by giving you several chances (along with links) to own your own mistake(s).

No? Now I'm evil?

OK...Fair enough...

Let me ask you this question. Which you will not be able to honestly reply.

In your own post of FACT from the OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT PELL GRANT page.

You posted the following words...

The Federal Pell Grant Program provides need-based grants to low-income undergraduate and certain postbaccalaureate students to promote access to postsecondary education.

Let's start by asking who or whom the "CERTAIN" is in that post?

Does this "EVIL" person need to continue?
15 months ago: i was joking Cypress lo
15 months ago: Fine. Then answer the question / problem.
15 months ago: its for the low income people is my point.
15 months ago: I know that is your point. But answer my question...

who or whom is the "certain postbaccalaureate students" and why would someone that has a degree need funding for a second degree when we can't even get the high school drop out rate below 50 percent?
15 months ago: BTW. that is not what is says.

"and certain" of them, they, who, whom.....

The "and" is the seperator which means anyone they choose based on what criteria? Who meets the "certain" criteria? Is that a judgement call left up to another government rubberstamp employee?
15 months ago: It;s based on income weather they are new to school or have a bachelor's degree. If they have the money to pay for it. they wouldn't need a pell grant.
15 months ago: Pell Grants and Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants are probably the most common federally-funded sources of money for qualified individuals. These grants are based solely on financial need, determined through a study of potential family contribution. That means that, even if your parents have an income, you can still qualify to receive assistance if you can prove that footing your bill would be too great a hardship for them.

15 months ago: Kqm did you know that if you want to go for a Master's Degree that there is no funding anywhere. You can get help for an undergraduate degree, but not for a graduate degree. If you want to further your education and have a lot to offer, you can forget it. So, unless you are rich, you don't have a chance. The only way is by private grants which are hard to come by. Many of the jobs nowadays want Masters'.

15 months ago: The projected deficit for 2011 is $1.5 trillion dollars. Obama's budget had projected $1.27 trillion deficit for 2011, but you know, things change. The highest budget deficit ever, prior to Obama, was the last year of Bush's administration, weighing in at $458.6 billion. Obama has tripled the deficit, and then declared a freeze on new spending, at the ridiculously high levels.

I will give Obama credit where credit is due. He did say and this is a quote, "We have to stop pretending that cutting this kind of spending alone, that is, like non-security spending, will be enough."
15 months ago: I know there has to be cuts but i think killing jobs is going backwards. They will be cutting all the jobs that were created in 2010. That's not progress its a giant leap back to 2009. Obama is not perfect but you can't fix what took 30 years to mess up over night.
15 months ago: Personally, I agree that Republicans are not helping us-at--tol. Why is it that when someone says anything positive about Obama there are rude comments. These comments are very insensitive to the less fortunate. An over kill--if you will--for real-- lotto-- ot-- of comments--Hum! Makes you want to CUT THE FATS out of yo diet.

15 months ago: At least the President has begun to take some money out of the obscenely bloated Military budget. The Military brass had been asked to find places where they could cut costs and everyone said they didn't need the second engine for the F-35 (the most obvious of many other savings). Boehner wasn't even willing to cut the second engine for the F-35 because part of it was made in his district. That shows that he isn't really serious about cutting the deficit. They just want to target any programs that help the poor, but they oppose eliminating the $350 billion corporate welfare to the rich and fossil fuel industries. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Obamas-bud...

Another of the big budget killers is Medicare. The Republicans have refused to cut Medicare but The Affordable care Act provides $500 billion in Medicare cuts . That's $500 billion in cuts in the future growth of spending over 10 years — and the move, if it happens, puts Medicare on much better financial footing. The program's board of trustees reported that [t]he financial status of the [hospital insurance] trust fund is substantially improved by the lower expenditures and additional tax revenues instituted by the Affordable Care Act," and that the savings would extend the life of the trust fund by 12 years. http://factcheck.org/2010/10/health-care...
Of course the republicans want to undo that.

If you really want to reduce the deficit and start paying off the National Debt. It is impossible to save $1.4 trillion from $435 billion in discretionary spending. You have to raise revenue. The simplest and most pain free way to do that is to make a transaction tax on the harmful derivative trading, hedge funds and currency speculation, that caused the economic collapse and is in danger of doing it again. http://www.economicpopulist.org/content/...

You are correct that the Republican plan is to destroy the economy and eliminate more jobs because they will benefit from a bad economy. Towards that end they have voted against anything Obama has done to create jobs and prevent jobs from moving overseas. Likewise they have opposed any consumer protections, health care, WIC programs for infants, or anything else that helps the poor and middle classes.
