Jobs Council closed - work is done?


Posted: Jan 31, 2013

By JOSH LEDERMAN, Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama will let his jobs council expire this week without renewing its charter, winding down one source of input from the business community even as unemployment remains stubbornly high. http://www.usnews.com/news/politics/articles/2013/01/31/obamas-jobs-council-shutting-down-thursday;

Sure, there's no election to - campaign for now.

He didn't even meet with them all year.

The Jobs Council was a waste of money - Dara

Not that the members didn't do any work, but that Obama's absence indicated it was a figurehead committee designed to appeal to his supporters and make it look like he was on top of the jobs problem.

When It Comes To The Rhetoric Of Politicians From Pres To City CouncilDec 01, 2015
If you're disgusted by politicians, or the "power class" - hang on half a second.  You can't blame grabbers for grabbing power.  It's the most predictable of human traits. The most fundamental premise of DEMOCRACY is that the electorate will hold ALL POLITICIANS, REGARDLESS OF PARTY, in check. It's citizens who don't give a crap about TRUTH and instead let the PARTY TELL THEM WHAT TO THINK who are to blame for the political situation that we find ourselves i ...

1.  There was only one "presidential" personality on the stage last night. 2.  I became convinced that Romney is the one who can work across the aisle and get things done. 3.  Obama continued to refuse to own up to any of his obvious economic and foreign policy blunders.  Instead he was arrogant and snarky. 4.  The keys to an effective foreign policy are exactly what Romney identified:  a strong economy and a strong military. 5.  All that Obama could offer ...

Has anyone considered taking a court reporting course and learning to use a stenography machine?

But, I look at a steno machine and think....OMG, there is no way I can learn to use that.  I'd love to hear from anyone who knows how to use a steno machine and can you let me know if it is really difficult?  The job I have now doing transcription is a great job, ...

I say bring it out into the light again and let the chips fall where they may. That's the only thing that will save the sane part of the Republican party. Otherwise the whole party is doomed to be a party of ...

Mitts Behind Closed Doors Hot Mic Moment: Slash DOEducation, Eliminate HUDApr 16, 2012
As if standing idly by while the housing market crashes isn't enough, Romney tells big-buck donors if he had his way, he would eliminate HUD (Romney Sr was Secretary of HUD) all together, another apparent reversal of his previous multi-family/anti-sprawl policies while serving as governor of Massachusetts.  Out of sight, out of mind. Maybe he could fund bare-bones cuts to the Department of Education by moving all recipients of students loans to labor camps after graduation.& ...
