Lieberman: Extending Bush Tax Cutsİ for "Have Mores" will create MILLIONS OF NEW JOBS

Same old GOP talking points.

The "job creators" are sitting on their "liquid assets" (yes, he said that) because of "uncertainty."

Give them one more year of Bush Tax Cuts© and their confidence will "soar" and "you'll see MILLIONS of new jobs created.

Just now on Fox, explaining to Cavuto why he's a "no" vote on tax relief.

He seems a bit spoiled to me. Time to toss him out.

Oh and where are the millions of jobs from the last 11 years?

They've had over ten years to be as confident as fuck and yet we lost over four million jobs.

I hate Lieberman more than I hate most of the Republicans. He's such a crumb.

But Reagan's Trickle Down™ didn't work... The Bush Tax Cuts© didn't work...

Both programs were suppose to give more wealth back to the Oben Klasse so its members could re-invest in the USA. This would spur the economy and create jobs for Americans.

They didn't do this. Instead, they took their new-found swag and squirreled it away in secret off-shore tax havens. Or they invested in jobs overseas, which is really not the same as investing in jobs here in the good ol' USA.

They didn't live up to their part of the bargain, so it's time for them to repay what they took.

Savvy?

That's the confidence they seem to be seeking.

Mitt was uncertain about what Bush and the GOP congress might do.

Lieberman in Enronland

It has come to this: The investigation of Enron as a political scandal appears for now to depend on Senator Joseph Lieberman, an Enron Democrat who bagged Enron campaign contributions and who worked hard to block accounting reforms. Lieberman's committee agreed to issue subpoenas seeking information that could shed light on Enron contacts with the White House, but the question is, How hard is he willing to push?

The guy carries water for the BFEE. Big Time.

By the way, we are still waiting for those millions of fucking jobs, when are the corporations going to turn loose the trillions they are sitting on purposely to oust this President?

Some odd way, this feels like a "protection racket" scheme.

Especially in his hometown letting them know that he has not been on their side in CT.
