John Boehner takes on government-funded jobs – unless they're in Ohio

The veracity of the “200,000 new federal jobs” has hardly been confirmed. More on that later. But it seems clear that Boehner is willing to hand thousands of government workers a pink slip – even if it adds to America’s high unemployment rate.

He and the other Republicans now running the House believe that cutting $100 billion from federal spending for the rest of fiscal 2011 will in fact be good for the economy in the long run – stimulating more private-sector job growth that will more than make up for government job losses. That was the central point made by 150 economists – academics, conservative think-tankers, and former Republican administration officials – cited by Boehner in a letter to Mr. Obama this week.

1. The big question is ..................
Are they ready to guarantee their views?? If it does not come out the way they say it will,
are they ready to compensate everyone that was hurt by their views??
Are they ready to put their jobs, their retirements, their savings on the line??
