From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann seeks out interesting subjects from such disparate outposts of curiosity that you have to wonder whether or not he uncovered them or they selected him."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann channels the best of the American Founders with voice and pen. His deep attachment to a democratic civil society is just the medicine America needs."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Through compelling personal stories, Hartmann presents a dramatic and deeply disturbing picture of humans as a profoundly troubled species. Hope lies in his inspiring vision of our enormous unrealized potential and his description of the path to its realization."
Republicans will claim that its too little and needs to be expanded to include the investment capitalist 'job creators'.
the job creator like the republican suck rocks
If anything, Republicans like Romney squash jobs here in the U.S. so that these jobs can be sent over seas. Romney's record seems to clearly indicate that he doesn't care about America's having jobs so long as large amounts of money can be made by him. In Romneyworld, personal enormous wealth comes before Americans having jobs. Romneyworld = personal wealth at the expense of American jobs.
It doesn't matter if a so-called job creating program was initially supported by the GOP, or even formulated by them. If Obama endorses any plan, Republicans with sing like Groucho Marx, "I'm Against It". The GOP's purpose as defined by McConnell is to defeat him, even if it hurts the nation.

If they do it'll have a time bomb attached, or a poison pill. Wouldn't be like them to pass up a golden opportunity to get something they want, like the XL Pipeline.
Why would they? They spent years gettingthings the way they want them, and you think they're going to change things back the way they were? LOL Better chance of electing Fidel as president.
Why negotiate or bribe economic terrorist ? Slap em with a import tariff . Its time to stand up to the school yard bullies that they are .For our Children .
Jobs and Republicans is an oxymoron - why would they create jobs when they are responsible for policies that have created the job loss in this country...I will never forgive Clinton for signing NAFTA - as Perot said (and he was a bit crazy but not so stupid), if NAFTA is passed you will here a big sucking sound coming out of this country - well DUH! In fact, their policies of Deregulation, Glass Steagall, tax cuts & 2 wars, we are still digging ourselves out of Bush's mess...the pipeline is a joke....the tar sands coming out of Canada will in effect be sold outside this country. Check out why Germany is in such good shape - they still have manufacturing in their country, their laws in effect probably don't allow companies to leave - most everyone is employed - people are doing well - they have a healthcare system for all...it is what we looked like before Reagan and his buddies like Phil Gramm came into office touting Trickle Down Economics which has been around since the Great Depression -
Hey folks - the job creators are the Multi-Nationals who are creating jobs OVERSEAS - why are they still getting tax cuts...Globalization is a failure - the only country doing well and has the healthiest economy is Germany - there is no outsourcing of jobs - low unemployment - healthcare for all - looks like the USA before Republican Policies were implemented in the U.S. We had 80+ years of success in the U.S. Here are the facts about our country before globalization:
We were No.1 in EXPORTS. We were No. 1 in imports of Raw Materials. We were No.! in loaning money to OTHER countries.
Now, we import everything - we export raw materials - we borrow money to run this country.
Someone needs to take control of the Military Complex and downsize heavily - we have spent a trillion dollars going after a bunch of ragheads, make believe WMD's, made up threats to keep us in war - if you haven't read '1984', a book I read in high school, you ought to read it.......our Military Complex is one big sucking machine that continues to need feeding - Harry Truman had it right - he thought the General's and others in the Military were full of crap, he fired MacArthur....yes, Romney, when talking about Security in this country is talking about leaving the decisions about our Security in the hands of the Military ----- HELP FOLKS - we are going backward and the average person in this country knows little about history so these Buffoons in government are able to continue to repeat the mistakes of the past.......I really thought that once Vietnam was over that was it - we had learned our mistakes - evidently not. I truly believe there are no threats to this country other than the ones the politicians are creating and causing.
If they were economically smart and cared about the jobs for the citizens they would agree HOWEVER - if it would benefit the President and the peons they will stand their ground to destroy the whole idea. We all need to stand our ground and protest squashing this great opportunity of restoring America and jobs. I am all for inporting!!!
I just hope my Democratic elected officials hang tight and vote against this bill. It's not less taxes that are needed. It's fair trade and tariff's that are needed. This is Obama (again) designing business for the Koch brothers.
No. They won't.
The wealthy few are citizens of the world and could care less if america becomes a third world country...it won't hurt them to see peasants starving in the streets!
