Who are the job killers? Americans out of work. That's who.

When Republicans talk about killing jobs, they are speaking of jobs of little substance. Jobs that pay a marginal amount and short lived. Jobs without benefits. Many jobs that pay minimum wage and only attractive to undocumented workers. All in all jobs no trained or skilled worker would desire. And you can bet your life these jobs would not be alluring to the defenders of such jobs. No self-respecting congressman would ever think of taking such jobs. Oh? Why not?

Americans out of work are looking for steady career jobs. Jobs with health and retirement benefit. Jobs that would require training and skill. Jobs with longevity. Jobs that will carry them through to a reasonable retirement. Jobs that will build a strong middle class. However, those kind of jobs have been sent away. Far away to China, India, Mexico, and other so-called “Off-shore” places. And who sent them there? The same folks who are yammering about killing jobs. Our friendly Republican congressmen and women. Aided with the help of our friendly US Chamber of Commerce. Yes. Are you surprised?

So instead of long-term jobs with long-term benefits, our skilled and willing work force is served up with long-term unemployment. Nonetheless, this is the reward they receive. Pink slips. Termination due to jobs moved off shore. Go flip burgers. Good luck buddy. Have a nice day.

“Job Killer” is just an empty slogan just to distract all of us from the real point. Mostly regulation and rules. Regulations that protect Americans from unnecessary hazardous work. Regulations that protect the air we breathe and the water we drink. Regulations that protect us from bank and loan fraud. Job Killer is just a hollow GOP war cry in order to take back control of the Whitehouse and all of congress. In turn, American workers get meaningless low paying jobs. Mining coal. Building pipelines. Jobs on land and sea oil rigs. All short term contract work. Usually hard and dirty work and with no thanks. Just let go with no unemployment benefit at the end.

Americans didn’t struggle and finish colledg just to serve the interests of Big Oil and Coal owners and their shareholders. That would be the opposet of the American Dream. Quite the reverse for sure. Americans struggled and got training to build America up. Not let it down. American want long term well paying careers. Workers loyal to a company that is loyal to American workers. God bless American workers. God bless America.

Pollution is job killers

There are always two sides to a story. But if we just listen to the pro-pollution conservative, you would think they were fighting a battle against “Regulation Mongers.” Regulation for regulation’s sake. Regulations that is loved and embraced by legislating control freaks. Sometimes known as Liberals.

You would think there is a war against job producing industries. Industries such as coal burning power plants, mounting top exploding coal mining, hydraulic fracturing gas producers, and others. And again, war against businesses that create jobs. Jobs the out of work would like to have.

But wait, it seems regulation are put in place to protect us from ourselves. Jobs that produce hazardous or polluted environments. Polluting ground water. Damaging and polluting nearby streams and animal habitats. Pollution that fills the air with hazardous materials. Mercury and carbon dioxide. Both if ingested or breathed in large quantities could kill people, plant life, and local animals. But to regulate these industries is a job killer. Never mind the byproduct of CO2 and mercury can also be a job killer. Killing the workers themselves and their families.

If you want to talk about job killers, you could make a good case for growing marijuana. Growing marijuana provides many jobs and good money. Why regulate the growing, harvesting, and selling of marijuana? Well, because it is heavily regulated and rightly so.

Never the less, the true conservative could be characterized as pro-smog. Pro-water polluting. Pro-air polluting. And, people killers. From methane polluted ground water to hazardous working conditions for miners. All producing killing situations. The ultimate job killer.
