Many people say the Boehner Congress hasn't created any jobs. Republican Economist Mark Zandi goes further and says the Ryan Plan will cut 1,700,000 jobs in its first two years.
Economists across the political spectrum are warning of the threat that cuts to government services pose for job creation and growth in the near term. Most recently, economist Mark Zandi forecast that the Ryan-Republican plan will eliminate 1.7 million jobs in its first two years . But deep cuts to investments proposed in the Ryan-Republican budget plan will also set back the long-run growth and competitiveness of the U.S. economy.
But not to worry. Eight years after that we'll all be swimming in jobs at health insurance companies. Think about all the cash that is going to flow into Big Insurance from both the government and from seniors and their families. When the voucher doesn't cover expenses, BAM that's more money from seniors and their children who support them into private health insurance conglomerates. They'll be hiring like crazy and we'll all get rich!!
The Ryan Republican plan also cuts
* Education and training investment per capita by 53 percent
* Transportation infrastructure investment per capita by 37 percent
* Science and technology R&D investment per capita by 28 percent.
Wow, just think of all the jobs that will create. All those public groups that have been itching to invest in roads and bridges will now get their chance. Who doesn't love toll roads?! I think the Republican Ryan plan to disinvest in America is a surefire way to invest in America. The pesky Center for American Progress disagrees.
the Ryan-Republican budget proposal would strip more than $1.4 trillion from public investments in education, infrastructure, and science and technology that create a foundation to support private investments. The key to long-term success and competitiveness of the U.S. economy is to boost public and private investment from the low levels of the past decade. By disinvesting in the sources of productivity and competitiveness to pay for tax cuts for the rich, the Ryan-Republican budget plan puts little value on America’s economic future.
Call your Republican Congressman today and thank them for the jobs bonanza they have set into motion!
UPDATE: Here's a link to the Mark Zandi article. Zandi wants the cuts from the Ryan plan and the tax increases in the Obama plan. He doesn't mention the extra costs seniors will face, but looks solely at the government budget. He also doesn't dare examine the People's Budget which will return our balance sheet to a surplus without harming the social safety net that makes this country great.
