What jobs have Stivers created????


>>>>  Republican Rep. Steve Stivers (OH-15th) just said, on Martin Bashir's MSNBC program,  that he believes that marriage is between one man and one woman. Stivers, a former bank lobbyist,bragged about his jobs bills (?).  Gee.  Has anyone seen any of the jobs Stivers has created?   Bashir just asked Stivers if the job growth in Ohio could be attributed to the President's auto emergency program. Stivers said that the bankruptcy program would have worked just fine if the American auto industry would have gone bankrupt.  Really?

>>>>  DailyKos has all the important information on the historic announcement today by President Obama's statement on marriage equality. 

>>>>>  On MSNBC TV (right now), Krystal Ball said that those that are pleased with President Obama's support of marriage equality should go out and work for him to get him re-elected.  Exactly.  Get off your sofa and visit BarackObama.com and contribute to the President's re-election by volunteering and/or writing a check. If you really want to move our country forward, instead of back to the policies that created this financial mess, you'll join with the President.

>>>>>  In an article in the Columbus Dispatch, Josh Mandel states that a college degree isn't necessary and that some people should go get a vocational education.  Unfortunately, it appears that Josh Mandel has been living in the past.  In the old days, there were "shop classes" for students but today they are called "industrial technology" because they involve technology.  Many schools have put away the lamp kits and book shelf lessons in favor of industrial design on computers.  That is the kind of education that is going on in our schools.  Just because Mandel's grandparents survived without an education beyond high school doesn't mean that young people today can do the same.  Everyone needs something more. Those that wish to go to college should have low interest student loans to assist them---- even if Josh Mandel is against them.  Josh Mandel and the Republicans don't want you to get college loans so that they can use that money to give more tax cuts to the rich.
