Don't Shut Down, Shut UP, and PUT up!


Speaker Boehner: Where are the jobs?

(note: look at the bottom of the right column to see what others have written)

Tell Speaker Boehner:  SHUT UP with the threats to shut down the government, and PUT UP a proposal to create jobs!

For nearly two years, John Boehner has been complaining nonstop about job growth.  "Where are the jobs?," he grumbled, over and over again.

Of course, facts are pesky things.  Accordingly, Boehner never mentioned that job losses skyrocketed under George Bush, largely due to policies that Bush and Boehner championed.  Nor did he mention that the job picture did in fact start to get better and better once President Obama took office, and actually started doing something.  

Further, beyond complaining and whining, it was hard to come up with one damned idea that Boehner proposed for actually doing something about spurring job growth.  Aside from helping employ countless tanning salon employees, the leading Republican in the House of Representatives was pretty much... AWOL.  

Well, Boehner has risen to Speaker, and it's time for him to be held accountable.  We're tired of Boehner's limp excuses for inaction.  We're fed up with the ridiculous games of House Republicans, putting the fantasy of repealing health care reform ahead of the actual work necessary to grow the economy (seriously, regardless of how you feel about health care, the odds of repealing it with a Democratic president are about the same as repealing gravity).

And we're 100% fed up with his threats to shut down the government, instead of doing his damned job!

Enough is enough.   Boehner is Speaker, and it's time for him to stop whining, and start doing something.  

Speaker Boehner:  SHUT UP with the threats to shut down the government, and PUT UP a proposal to create jobs!
