Fix it? Both Republicans and Democrats agree that the sequestration will go a long way toward alleviating the most painful and persistent problem that’s been facing every decent American.
I mean, of course, the servant problem: neither the decent Democrats like the ones Clinton appointed to senior government positions nor the responsible Republicans can fully staff all their mansions, and so must make do with an inadequate supply of legal maids, gardeners, footmen, valets, cooks, & etc. Mitt’s car elevator isn’t one of these fancy-schmancy self-service models that can drive itself, he needs a good elevator girl or boy.
Nice combo of the ashtray and the crayons. Just need the golf bag somewhere handy. I would give up too if the few jobs that are being created are mostly at poverty level.
And Romney’s only solutions are to cut government spending (which means more unemployment — you can’t destroy jobs without destroying jobs), and cutting taxes on the rich. A new study from Congressional Research Service shows that — surprise! — over the past 60 years, cutting taxes on the rich has never once created jobs. Not that there was ever a reason to think it would… no small businessman ever hired someone with after-tax dollars.
Boehner’s house never did get a job bill passed. Its part of that Republican plan by Rove to bog the government down so much that people will get mad and vote republican, the party of delusion as McCoy so often shows.
Arod, I do agree cutting spending will cause a short term rise in unempolyment in goverment workers. But with goverment taking less money and wasting less money Solararia anyone?, that moeny can flow to enterprises that create real wealth. Right now we still empoly bunny inspectors and have more folks in air conditioned offices writing order then forest rangers to care them out. I would like to see a link to that study by the way since cutting tax rates worked for both JFK, that crazy tea partier, and Reagan.
Not a single con here knows that under Obama, more people were put to work in less than four years than Bush did in eight. Pretty much all in the private sector, too. Without the reslugs in Congress, we would not have lost another 2.5 million jobs.
I don’t know what you are a pro at snakeoil, but it isn’t factual information. There are still more people working for the federal goverment now then when Obama took office. As to the claim that Obama has created more jobs that also is cherry picking the start point of when you count. If you take the full term then No he hasn’t. As for congress are you speaking of the Felonious Democrats who control the Senate which has refused to pass a budget bill for three years now? In violation of federal law. As for the current unempolyment rate the White House said if their stimulas package passed it would never get above 8 and they blocked the republicans from any imput, so the Democat party own unempolyment.
Doesn’t McCoy realize that – by insisting on the smoking thing – he destroys every shred of credibility he seeks to convey? And that thing with the high-chair and the crayon is also just a cheap joke. I like my editorials a bit more serious than this…
Glenn McCoy has been long recognized by his peers as a superior cartoonist. Besides his editorial cartoons, he also creates the daily comic strips The Duplex and The Flying McCoys.

January’s Republican sequestration event will drive employment numbers south if Congress doesn’t fix it first.

@ahab
That is a bipartisan fiasco. Remember there are cuts to social programs too.

Its funny how many idiots think that employment comes from government spending instead of successful businesses.
