Jobs Creation Is At Zero; Unions And DNC Attack American Voters

Today in Washington, D.C. - Sept 6, 2011:
The U.S. Senate is back in session today at 2 p.m.and the US House members start arriving tomorrow and will back in session on Sept 8th. The Senate will take up the nomination of and vote almost immediately on Bernice Bouie Donald to be a U.S. Circuit Judge for the 6th Circuit. Immediately following that vote, the Senate will vote on cloture on the motion to proceed to H.R. 1249, the patent reform bill.

On Thursday at 7 PM, President Obama will address a Joint Session of Congress on his proposed ideas to increase jobs. Obviously, the only people that create real jobs which are not increase government spending jobs is the private sector economy. House members are suggesting that the President Consider job and growth proposals already passed by House The AP reports that "House Republican leaders are offering President Barack Obama an opening for compromise on measures that would spur job growth. They say neither Republicans nor the administration should consider their own initiatives 'an all-or-nothing situation.'"

Teamster's "chief-thug" Jimmy Hoffa, Jr. introduced Obama to the assembled Big Labor forces in Michigan yesterday with vile rhetoric that seems more befitting of Red Square. His comments:
Barack Obama has yet to condemn this hateful speech or that spewed by members of the Congressional Black Caucus.  ..  Will the President condemn this rhetoric in his Speech to Congress.  Probably  not as he has been in bed with the leadership of the unions for some time and has sought support of various predominately liberal groups. Unfortunately, the Black Congressional Caucus as a whole has forgotten their constituents and focus on only supporting President Obama and themselves.  Rather disappointing and it understandable that they do not desire conservatives like Rep. Allen West (R-FL) as a member of the caucus.  At the same time, it is very evident that the Democratic National Committee presently lead by Rep.  Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) and the Obama campaign staff have sanctioned the unleashing of "rabid vitriol against members of the TEA Party movement. seeking limited government.

The Washington Post writes today, “Public pessimism about the direction of the country has jumped to its highest level in nearly three years, erasing the sense of hope that followed President Obama’s inauguration and pushing his approval ratings to a record low, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll. More than 60 percent of those surveyed say they disapprove of the way the president is handling the economy and, what has become issue No. 1, the stagnant jobs situation. Just 43 percent now approve of the job he is doing overall, a new career low; 53 percent disapprove, a new high. As part of a reinvigorated effort to regain momentum as he heads toward the 2012 election year, Obama traveled to Detroit on Monday for a Labor Day appearance that served as a prelude to his speech Thursday to a joint session of Congress in which he will unveil new proposals to create jobs.”

In an op-ed for The Post today, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell suggests, “One thing [the president] could do immediately is finalize the free-trade deals with Colombia, South Korea and Panama that have been languishing on his desk.”

He points out, “For nearly three years, Republicans and a number of Democrats have been calling on the president to approve these deals to create a level playing field with America’s competitors overseas, vastly expand the market for U.S. goods, strengthen our ties with three important allies and create jobs for Americans. Yet the deals have been stuck at the White House since Inauguration Day.”

So what’s preventing these important agreements from moving forward? As Leader McConnell explains, it’s pressure on the White House and Democrats from unions. “Publicly, the White House claims to support all three agreements. It even said in July that Republicans are the ones standing in the way of ratification. But this is absurd because Congress can’t ratify trade agreements until the president submits them for congressional approval. He knows as well as I do that once he does, all three would garner wide bipartisan support. What’s the real holdup? For three years, the administration has delayed finalizing these deals because unions have been extracting concessions in exchange for their support. Early on, they demanded further concessions and political reforms from our trading partners, all of which have been satisfied.”

McConnell writes, “These delays have put America at a major economic disadvantage, costing jobs and opportunities. As the president has been holding out over the demands of labor union leaders, other countries are benefiting from free-trade deals of their own. In early July, South Korea sealed a free-trade pact with the European Union. A few weeks ago a free-trade deal took effect between Colombia and Canada. Yet four years after our three trade agreements were originally signed, the United States is losing ground.”

It’s long past time for President Obama to submit these free trade agreements to Congress. They have bipartisan support and bipartisan agreement that they will create jobs. With 14 million Americans out of work, now is not the time to let big labor unions continue to hold up job-creating free trade agreements with key allies.

In addition, it is time to look at real jobs creation and the ideas offered by those who have worked in the private sector and did not rely on the protection, services and even funds from the U.S. Government. It is good that House Republicans are willing to compromise on certain areas to get America back to work. It is not good that the Obama Campaign machine and DNC have unleashed attacks against TEA Party voters who want to see the size of government intrusion and spending reduced.

In the past unions served a purpose and benefited the nation, but those days are gone and in todays world they act only as a drag on the economy---just look at the US Postal Service. Union benefits and other factors will destroy it in the next few years and the american tax payers will have to pick up the tab for its failure---not the union bosses.
