Here is a new game. Every single time a Republican politician says something, you say, "Except in Ohio."
I will take a press release from Republican Rep. Pryce and use some of her words. You add, "Except in Ohio."
"...2005 was remarkably successful, and provided a foundation for ensuring the long-term prosperity and security of our great nation."
EXCEPT IN OHIO!
"The tax cuts included in the Jobs and Growth package served as jumper cables to our economic engine, helping to create jobs, boost investor confidence, increase the incomes of working Americans, and help businesses move out of the red."
EXCEPT IN OHIO!
"Since tax relief was signed into law in May of 2003, over 4.4 million new jobs have been created..."
EXCEPT IN OHIO!
"We passed the Energy Policy Act – our nation’s first energy policy in two decades – to help consumers with rising energy costs over the long term, and reduce America’s dependence on foreign oil."
EXCEPT IN OHIO!
Isn't that a fun game?
It seems like the Republicans keep bragging about all the new jobs, but the only place hiring seems to be the burger place, and large discount stores. These are places where jobs are part-time, low-paying, and without benefits(like health insurance, sick days, pensions, life insurance). Do they really count these as part of their job creation? Could you survive on 20 hours per week at $5.15 an hour? Could members of Congress survive on $5.15/hr? How does the Republican Congress expect people to live on this? Why are the Republicans against an increase in the minimum wage? They don't want to put an unfair burden on business. How about the unfair burden they put on the working poor?
