This isn't really about the health care bill, but had been thinking of trying to write something as to this meme, so widely used, of 'job killing'. According to a few, and only a few, articles I've read jobs have already been created with just the first set of implementations that have started. Not going to try and search these out, as said there were only a few.
What I'm placing below I was going to put into an open after I posted on my site, TIME had just put it up. But if you use those cells it also actually relates to these 'job killing' meme's used for everything but real job killing actions, i.e. tax cuts especially for the wealthy, and also the real job killing parts of the Health Care Bill the tepublicans obstructed and forced out as they are also doing on other really important issues.
This is the recent TIME article of which I give an easy answer to before I place.
Easy, we don't do Capitalism anymore, we do {extremely small 'c'} capitalism, and that's been the case for some thirty years while also shedding ourselves of much needed trades and the experienced that were in them!
Why China Does Capitalism Better than the U.S.
Jan. 20, 2011 - One of the great ironies revealed by the global recession that began in 2008 is that Communist Party–ruled China may be doing a better job managing capitalism's crisis than the democratically elected U.S. government. Beijing's stimulus spending was larger, infinitely more effective at overcoming the slowdown and directed at laying the infrastructural tracks for further economic expansion.
As Western democracies shuffle wheezily forward, China's economy roars along at a steady clip, having lifted some half a billion people out of poverty over the past three decades and rapidly created the world's largest middle class to provide an engine for long-term domestic consumer demand. Sure, there's massive social inequality, but there always is in a capitalist system. (Income inequality rates in the U.S. are some of the worst in the industrialized world, and more Americans are falling into poverty than are being raised out of it. The number of Americans officially designated as living in poverty in 2009 — 43 million — was the highest in the 51 years that records have been kept.) continued}
Now this next one I caught yesterday in a business journal.
Duke Energy, ENN plan Chinese ‘eco city’ project
January 18, 2011 - Duke Energy will work with China’s ENN Group to develop China’s first "eco city" in Langfang, near Beijing.
The companies signed an agreement on the project Tuesday in Washington, D.C. Chinese government officials and representatives from the U.S. departments of state and energy attended the signing. It coincides with a diplomatic visit by Chinese President Hu Jintao, who will be discussing trade and other issues with President Barack Obama.
ENN is developing the eco city. Duke will collaborate and apply what it learns there in deploying clean-power technologies in the United States. {continued}
Ask yourselves, Why is Duke Power, along with another, investing in and helping develop a Chinese ECO City, simple, what we once were envied around this planet is no more and hasn't been for a long time, innovation, leading in advances, strong work ethic and much much more, especially the first some thirty years of my life and before that built a strong economy and society, second some thirty not so good as that's been the downfall!!
Just look at the ECO city above, with all the wealth here why no investments in the advanced technology etc. to get us off fossil fuels, again simple, trickle down was a con and there's a so called political party, and their herd, that slammed the breaks on what we once were and as said above envied for!!! You don't need to accept the obvious on Climate Change, alone or any other needed advances, those breaks have been effectively locked as we head backward, even so called third world countries are advancing not just the Chinese!
Getting back to the 'job killing' Health Care Bill, same principle of 'c'apitalism was waged by obstructing added policies in the bill that would have not only helped advance the Country and it's Health but would have created jobs, not to mention keeping a workforce healthier. Same for much of the past four years on numorous policies, obstruct, remove some, get others watered down, Lost Jobs. Also not forcing that con of ronnynomics on the wealth that has grown and grown, forcing because they seem only to willing to dump money into campaigns to reap more wealth and none into the economy to keep it healthy and an advanced economic system.
It isn't only China that is advancing, I'm reading articles about so called third world countries looking for ways to go green. Also China is doing what no other so called western capitalist have done, investing and growing a huge potential consumer market in Africa.
Oh we've invested in Africa but not to help it's people but to strip it of it's mineral and other assets while supporting it's dictators suppression of the masses and conflicts.
Others are moving forward rapidly as we move backwards just as or even faster, look around!
