1. Maybe they're a part of the
2.5 million jobs created or saved. Never understood how you could quantify this.

5. And millions more since so
where are the created or saved jobs? That has to be one of the most silly things I've heard to date. Created or saved? Right.

10. Knock. Knock. Where have you been? Obama's stimulus jobs were used to create/save jobs.
Once more Bush did not create and/or save jobs.

3. If tax cuts and "small businesses"
produced jobs anything like the Republicans have said they do, we would all have to be working two of them now just to keep up with demand for labor. You can grow some really fine tomatos in that kind of BS.

11. I have a retired Republican friend who told me years ago that the rich needed tax breaks
so they could create jobs. He really believed that and likely still does.

Today on Wisconsin Public Radio I heard a Wisconsin Republican Congressional rep tell a caller that the Bush tax cuts actually increased revenues by $750 billion. He was reading this from a stone tablet he got from God so it had to be true.

12. 10 years of tax cuts, 10 years of job loss
Before that, 6 years of (Clinton) tax hikes, 6 years of job GROWTH. Before that, 4 years of Bush tax cuts, 4 years of job loss. Even a teabagger could figure it ut
