Limbaugh would have questioned Obama on whether a family member has asked him if he's "created a private-sector job yet, Daddy?"

Considering we lost 3,000,000 jobs during the last 6 months of Bush's administration.
to China, India, Taiwan, Bangladesh, Singapore, Funkdupasta
Aye Keptin!
Idiot.
The all weather breakfast!
Well, during the first two months following Obama's inauguration, there were about 1.5 million lost, but they were already, for the most part, expected, and were the result of the policies of the prior administration.
Here's the info from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, squawks. It's not quite what your heroes would have you believe.
I must admit, you're very patriotic becausse you always put your country's survival first. (((heavy sarcasm intended))
ya know your buddy rush made his contribution to creating jobs.........by having 120 people lose theirs so he would keep his at his ridiculous salary
:-)
How fat is he?
He is so fat, his blood-type is Ragu!

Those high-tech devices in Rush's ears aren't there to improve his hearing, they work more like a cussword preventer.
Difference is, they don't filter out the "seven words you can't say on TV", they filter out what Rush and his audience hate most: FACT
My wife, being of the "liberal progressive" denomination, has never believed me. (She always insists that they are actually "people" who work for the "government." I know, I know, that sounds pretty crazy, but I'm just relaying what she says.)
But now I'm going to have her read your most excellent post ... and I think I've finally got a chance to prove her wrong. You have changed my life sir, THANK YOU!
Wow! I'll have to stop driving on those imaginary interstates, and driving around the imaginary Air Force Base, with the imaginary Airmen.
Unless we want to bring Blackwater into this but I digress and that would go into off topic territory.
Before you rant about government this and that. Governments that build up good public infrastructure draw in people and business without which you have squat. It implicitly has the obligation to build infrastructure; to do that you collect taxes. It's not hard to fathom.
By the way the military might buy those things from private companies but they spend money just to decide HOW to use them and often modifying them out of the box and testing them, that's not cheap but it's still something they have to do. It's a responsibility much like the governments responsibility to provide infrastructure to secure the economy.
Finally government creates laws which protect the citizenry and their interests. It can also affect the economy through taxation and central bank rates. So if you started taxing the top brackets more and keep the interest rates down you force people with lots of money to stop saving and hoarding to putting the money to use. When you encourage the rich to just sit on heaps of cash they do and the economy stagnates and the middle class shrinks.
Is it possible for an adult to not know who pays for the military ?
Hello, Grand Wizard of Logic and reason,
Can you name some of these private sector businesses that exist without transferring taxpayers' money to themselves ? Thanks.
I can't believe you don't see the problem with your "simple concept" yet.
Retired federal shipyard. I've seen contracters do our jobs. Some were competent, though their pay always seemed to be late.
Some after a period of incompetence learned how to do the job, at government expence. Part of that expence was following them and making the job right. Often if the work was inadequete. The contractor didn't care and faced no penalty for this bad work. So again the shipyard paid in materials and work to correct the bad work.
Think maybe an enforcable law on gas piping inspections might have prevented that small holocaust yesterday in California? Think it might cause one to appear?
Anyone with me?
I sometimes involuntarily add a high pitched **beeeeeep** at the end.
It's a talking point, DellDolly.
how about all the staffs for the various secretaries, the president, congressmen, senators?
what are those?
and here is to the newest member of the Gutless Wonder Troll club. my hats off to you sir
In Rush, any fright causes cysts to appear.
NO BUT THE REICH COMPLAINS ABOUT PUBLIC VS. PRIVATE SECTOR JOBS! Besides, everyone in Congress has a "public sector job" and you don't see THEM hanging their head in shame or running for the exit doors!
In the world created by the corporate media imagineers, the private sector is comprised of honest hard-working rugged individuals who have only one goal; to "create wealth" for everybody and do it all on their own.
On the other side is the public sector, a corrupt bunch of layabouts who spend all day devising new ways to steal the hard-earned money of the private sector, while producing nothing of value.
In the real world, everybody in the public and private sectors rely on transferring somebody else's money to themselves, but the right wingers don't deal in the real world very often.
What's amazing about it is how many of them seem to be waiting on hold and yakking on the radio while they're at work on our dime.
