Oh, you didn’t know? Allah made Harry Reid black, as “punishment” for saying “Negro dialect.” But he still has Harry Reid’s voice, is the thing! Anyway what’s this thing, jobs bill, okay sounds good…
Among the items Senate Democrats intend to advance:
* Tax credits to spur hiring and equipment purchases by small businesses
* Money to encourage construction projects by state and local governments
* Extending healthcare subsidies and unemployment payments for the jobless
* Incentives to weatherize buildings
* Aid to cash-strapped state and local governments to avoid further layoffs of teachers and other public employees
What about just straight-up stone cold motherfuckin’ givin’ people some motherfuckin’ jobs, baby?

I can’t wait to see how the Senate Democrats fuck this one up!
Fucking retards.
Don’t worry- the Republicans are already threatening to Filibuster so instead what we’ll get is tax credits (tax cuts!) and that’s about it. Except for lots of government jobs in Maine, Connecticut, Nebraska, and Massachusetts. Oh, and lots of construction projects which the Republicans will furiously campaign against as earmarks, especially at ribbon cutting ceremonies in their districts.
Why two? One is plenty.
C’mon Harry — you know the GOP is going to filibuster, like they do with everything. So a real majority leader would use reconciliation, because extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. Otherwise you may as welll blow your mortgage in Vegas.
[re=507707]FMA[/re]: All part of the republican dream of fucking up the country so badly that it will not longer be worth two shits. One shit, perhaps, but definitely not two shits. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starve_the_beast
Where’s my credit for winterizing the refrigerator box? That wasn’t cheap, but you can’t sell your shoelace and ethernet cable sculptures in the mall parking lot without a warm cardboard box. Makes filling out the 1040 all the less fun.
It’s not that hard, Democrats; look to what your party did in the 30s and hire all the unemployeds to build a bunch of motherfucking huge-ass dams and that kind of shit.
They should introduce a bill to name the GOP the greatest party on earth, of all time, ever, in the history of the universe including any other universes, and all of it’s members shit gold ingots. Just to see what happens.
Mesmerizing.
Senate will vote
onno jobs proposals next week: Reid~fixed
[re=507715]Oldskool[/re]: Senator John McCain refused to comment until he heard what the generals on the ground had to say about the bill. Then he opposed it.
Those gifs are mesmerizing.
I always thought the Batman GIF was best, but ho ho ho I was wrong.
Oh, goody. If they do as bang up a job on this as they did on healthcare reform, I don’t see how they can’t lose the whole House & Senate in Nov. Good times!
The economy will not re-start until congress gives every middle-class family a tax credit for porn purchases.
Yeah, and with the crack, so-called media in this stupid country we can look forward to seeing nothing but white, (or orange), Republicans on every cable news outlet screeching about “Gubmint take over of jobs” or some such bewlshit. It will never be framed that Republicans are obstructionist assholes who despise the unemployed middle class, or God forbid, the poors.
Love the Serta ad in conjunction with the Devil Sheep
[re=507715]Oldskool[/re]: The modern Republicans could only support that if it specifically excluded that monster, Lincoln.
[re=507725]Scruffy_The_Janitor[/re]: People pay for porn? Fucking retards.
Mom loses 41 pounds after she takes off her bra? Who knew the underwire weighed that much?
Oh, and what fucking good is a tax credit if you’re fucking unemployed and don’t have any income? What a retar–uh–bad idea!
I for one would happily pay extra on my cable bill (anyone else remember when tv was free?) if all the “major” networks plus CNN, MSNBC, Fox “News,” the PBSes, and C-Span covered all-filibuster all the time. Don’t care whether it’s for healthcare, budget, jobs, stimulus 2, or any other bill. Let’s see which elfants are willing to stand up there and hold their piss in order to flush the country down the toilet.
[re=507715]Oldskool[/re]: [re=507730]JMP[/re]: Ha! They’d stand on the floor of the senate and demand tax cuts for all the owners of toilets broken by ingots.
[re=507731]trondant[/re]: True dat. Maybe we need a refundable fap credit.
[re=507712]give us a bob[/re]: Hey — I’m going to weatherize the fuck out of my refrigerator box. Then I’m going to take my tax rebate and be rich, rich, rich.
[re=507712]give us a bob[/re]: [re=507738]Sparky McGruff[/re]: Fucking plutocrats with your tax rebates and fancy refrigerator boxes.
[re=507731]trondant[/re]: middle america pays for lots of porn….it aint got access to the internets…Evolution has not given them opposable thumbs and the capability of knowing how to turn on a computer…
The Senate is a bunch of can-do mofos, for sure.
Extending healthcare subsidies and unemployment payments for the jobless just encourages them to breed.
[re=507734]torera[/re]: Too bad you don’t actually need to wear a catheter/colostomy bag to effectively filibuster anymore. Basically, you just need to wheel in the cots and have whatever available warm (yet somehow elected) bodies work shifts expounding on the mysteries of Macramé until kingdom fucking come.
[re=507715]Oldskool[/re]: add an ammendment to increase income taxes on the 1% or include the public option too.
[re=507726]freakishlystrong[/re]: [re=507734]torera[/re]: MSM will never show powerful politicians in a bad light — if they did, they might not get access! That would be terrible!
Fuckin retards. Rush is on the radio now lambasting Rahm for banishing the term. You gotta love it.
The proposed legislation will fail like a falling sheep or possibly the reverse.
I understand Max HCR Baucus will be involved, so failure is not an option — it is the default.
[re=507742]x111e7thst[/re]: Hey, I got my refrigerator box a few years ago for only $75K on an interest-only mortgage from Countrywide. I’m in great shape until the loan resets.

So much for the Jobs bill. Who wants to raise the white flag?
[re=507756]TGY[/re]: It’s supposed to fail.
This is “who’s to blame”, not “how do we fix it”. Why do you think they larded it up with a bunch of tax credits?
It’s supposed to be so moderate that 75% of the country would support it leaving the Republicans to filibuster it and the Democrats to point at them and say to the rest of us “what a pack of assholes”.
In a sneeky, passive/aggressive way, the Dems have gone on the offensive, which if you consider what a pack of spineless bitches the Dems are, kinda makes sense.
This General on the Ground says do a jobs bill where the only newly-funded “jobs” will be in the U.S. military. After the Repubs cream all-over themselves to pass it, C-in-C Hopey announces these military jobs are all in the Seabees and they’re gonna rebuild our cumbling National Defense Highway System — a.k.a. the Interstates. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Defense_Highway_System)
Dems need to relearn the lesson of the 1950s — the key to getting Repub/Conservative support is to link any bill to National Defense. This is how Eisenhower and Kennedy got Federal aid for roads, education, and such past the paleo-conservatives in their Congresses — after all who was gonna say no to money for education if it was linked to beating the Russians in math? Health care reform would have passed months ago if it had been called the “National Defense Health Care System Reform Act” with the stated purpose of insuring that the military has access to healthy recruits.
“Among the items Senate Democrats intend to advance:
* Tax credits”
I hate the Senate so very much.
Oh snap. Am I the only one who thinks that GIF on the left looks like God circumcizing the abominable snowman? Just me? OK, nevermind….
[re=507789]McDuff[/re]: Brilliant!!! We could use that logic for gays in the military. wouldn’t we want the best and the brightest filling their ranks regardless of their sexual persuasion? wouldn’t that be best for the country? not to mention that those stinky barracks would finally be tastefully decorated….just sayin’.
[re=507789]McDuff[/re]: Health care reform would have passed months ago if it had been called the “National Defense Health Care System Reform Act” with the stated purpose of insuring that the military has access to healthy recruits.
Wow, that is genious. Why are democrats so stupid?
Also, maybe I am not up to par with my math skills and understandings, but to me, for a tax credit/weatherization incentive/energy rebate program to work, wouldn’t a person first have to have some monies to spend on all this stuff to be reimbursed/credited/rebated for? Like sure, it would be great to buy new windows and insulation for my 100 year old house to help with the engergy stuff, but I needs the money up front to pay for them before I can claim them on my next years taxes and such.
[re=507807]eclecticbrotha[/re]: Bigfoot is Jewish? Who knew?!
[re=507822]isadelia[/re]: Are you daring to suggest that tax credits exclusively benefit people who need the money least? ‘Sup wit’ dat, commie?
Man, that Omensheep is just too damn funny on loop.
[re=507789]McDuff[/re]: Health care reform would have passed months ago if it had been called the “National Defense Health Care System Reform Act”
Make it the Ronald Reagan “Keep America Strong” National Health Care System Reform Act, and you may have a winner.
Weatherization Incentives for people living in tent cities because their home loans defaulted & were foreclosed.
I like Sparky’s idea!
