This new House majority better hit the ground running and start making things better without delay. I for one will be holding them to the same standards and time tables they've held the President to.

Although I'm glad pelosi is gone, the only people that should be happy about the gop win are the super rich and the corporations. Unless you fall into one of those 2 categories, consider yourself screwed. Republicans aren't even hiding their agenda anymore yet people still vote for them ?!?!?!? WTF???

Absolutely ! If you're super rich or a big corp. or even better a big foreign corp., everything will be GREAT !!!
If you're you or me...well that's a different story.
Big corps have been more liquid than any other time in America's history yet no job creation.
Big corps will be getting their tax breaks and they've claimed that if they do, they'll hire....Although they will get their tax breaks now, they won't hire. WE THE PEOPLE shouldn't forget that !

Ok, then by that logic, why the hell should we give them any tax breaks at all? If they aren't contributing to the economy by hiring people even though they are now profitable and therefore should by any reasonable business model expand, why should we cut them any breaks?

Just FYI, no corp, or ma and pa shop, is under ANY obligation to supply you with a job. That's the problem with the cradle-to-grave attitude put forth by liberals. And they DO hire when they expand....maybe overseas, but they do hire. It's impossible not to hire, unless they rely totally on technology. But their first obligation is to their shareholders.

Oh, OK. And I suppose you were a member of one of the big unions?
Because they got huge payoffs from Obama and the 'stimulus' pork. All repayment for their election help.

I guess you never heard of Wal-mart? I know, I know, they give back right? They hire cashiers and stockboys. I guess I just need someone to explain to me how running a local store out of business and then offering the owner, manager, and all other employees of that buisness a minimum wage job for their trouble? Thanks Wal-mart. Instead of running his own business and making enough money to give back, he is not just poor enough to have to shop at Walmart- where much of his money now goes off to China, never to be seen again.

Huh? Are you serious? The unions are almost gone.
Time to get off the limbaugh bandwagon.
Some highlights from the 2009 data are:
--More public sector employees (7.9 million) belonged to a
union than did private sector employees (7.4 million),
despite there being 5 times more wage and salary workers
in the private sector.
--Workers in education, training, and library occupations
had the highest unionization rate at 38.1 percent.
--Black workers were more likely to be union members than
were white, Asian, or Hispanic workers.
--Among states, New York had the highest union membership
rate (25.2 percent) and North Carolina had the lowest
rate (3.1 percent).

Not to take sides or anything but, Obama supporters were rejoicing when Obama took office - probably some of the worst lemmings mentality ever.
Are you just disgruntled that key positions were replaced with Republicans?

I know plenty of people who work at big bad meany WalMart. All of them make more than minimum wage, most have health benefits, and they have steady jobs.
