Which is it, conservatives? We aren't just creating McJobs, or you don't care about the poor?

Question

Please make up your mind. Half the time you argue that we are creating lots of good white collar jobs in America, without providing any good evidence.

And the other half you argue that no one has a "right" to a good job - in other words, you don't care about people who go to school, get a job, work full time, and are still poor.

Wonder why you lost Congress?

Seadog - yes I do have the evidence and here it is:

And if we have a right to a good job and the private sector won't do it, the government should.

patrickctrombly - you can continue to spout the same nonsense, or you can actually examine the facts I just provided for you, and THEN open your mouth.

Answer 2

Who the hell are the 'poor'? Are they some sort of genetically engineered group that can never be anything else? If you really believe your secular rantings, then no one has a 'right' to anything! If our existence on this planet is just a scientific happenstance, then why the hell should it be any ones' problem about someone else's job or health or life. Half the time you morons argue about the stupidity of religious beliefs (especially Christian) and the other half you tell us we're immoral. Which is it? In a pure secular universe no one has a right to anything, since all of us are accidental tourists on this rock flying through space. The reason we 'lost' Congress is because everything in the universe degrades over time. This is a proven scientific reality. The longer something is around the more degraded it gets. This is true in society as well, people are getting dumber which is why we are shifting to the left, politically.

Answer 3

I wouldn't say conservatives since the Republican party does not speak for the conservatives anymore. I don't believe any conservative would be able to recognize their party anymore - big spending, big government, more tax (not in those words).
As far as it goes for jobs, well the only thing the Bush administration did was very effectively dismantle the US job market. The manufacturing industry is closing plant after plant, while IT jobs or customer service jobs are being outsourced. Even if you do go to school and get good grades what is the guarantee that your job or your industry would not be shipped overseas.
I'm really surprised how regular, middle income people can believe that Unions are the great evils for the job market in the US. The Unions do what they are supposed to do negotiate better terms for their members. The businesses don't budget for retirement while shareholders and CEO get their share diligently. Businesses make windfall profits yet can't afford to pay god wages or health-care benefits.
The republican party has turned the low income and middle class republicans into voluntary slaves.

What's wrong Freaky, you feeling a little job pressure at the local QuickyMart? The government is limited in it's capacity to employ... unless you are talking about the Military or government service. That would require a certain standard that might be a struggle for some. Otherwise, all the government can do is make the economic standard such that large and small businesses do well (tax cuts etc.) so that they can hire more people. At an umemployment rate of approx. 4%, something is going right...

Answer 5

Its actually both.

Our economy is creating high paying jobs- both blue collar and white collar. (I would provide you with references, but you would just dismiss them anyways. If you need them, look at my previous answers.)

However, someone who does not take advantage of the opportunities in front of them (i.e. free education, and government assistance through college) does not deserve anything better than what they "luck" into.

And the Republican's "loss" of Congress really isn't that abnormal for second term president's mid-term elections, especially presidents during war-time. The bad thing is that Democrats could only turn this advantage into slim majority. What does that say about your party?

Answer 6

Last time I looked, the Government was not responsible for creating jobs. Corporations create jobs to fill openings when they need people.

The only thing a government can do to help corporations is to 1) make economic policy to promote job growth with a strong economy or 2) give tax breaks for them.

Unemployment is 4% right now.

Answer 7

so what do you do for a living before Bush and now? this I got to know.

and if Clinton was that good of being President, why Democrats lost both houses in his terms????

Please define a good job means. Education = Good job.

Answer 8

Why do liberals vote for something then later claim what they voted for is wrong? Both side are a bunch of morons, too bad you showed you side with one. Especially since you ramble without any good points or evidence. "In other words" then equivicate something you want people to think doesn't work in the logic world. I suggest you get a job yourself since it seems to interest you.

Answer 9

You miss the point. The neocons "have a right" to a good job. Everyone else, since they don't agree with the neocon ideology and/or aren't "white" should be forced to work in a "McJob"--because they aren't a neocon and therefore, by definition are lazy and stupid.

See how simple it is if you quit wasting your time trying to use logic or facts? :)

Answer 10

Both.

We're NOT "just creating McJobs," that's not a matter of conservative or liberal, it's a matter of fact. Liberals take stats showing increasing creation of "service sector" jobs and tell people "service sector" means "mcjobs" - computer programmers aren't fry cooks. This is just one more out and out lie that you libs tell.

AND the difference in pay between someone who thinks for a living, makes the same salary no matter how late he stays in the office and can get FIRED if his recommendation turns out to be wrong, versus the guy who shows up for X hours, gets paid overtime for working more than X hours on the rare occasion that he has to, and spends the day taking a product out of a box, putting a price tag on it and putting it on a shelf, is in no way "unfair." Almost everyone who has that kind of job moves on and up within a few years. And there's a word for those who don't - LOSER.
