During the 2010 mid-terms the GOP ran mainly on the platform of job creation and, as a result of such promises, the GOP gained the majority in the House of Representatives. As the new Speaker of the House, John Boehner made the welcome claim that the primary goal of the Republican Party was to increase employment in the U.S.
His exact words were: "We're going to have a relentless focus on creating jobs."
The following, therefore, is a chronological list of legislation by the GOP beginning 2-10-2011 that I created for my own amusement. That it has reached its current imposing length, without one anecdotal citation of new employment as a result of Republican legislation, is simply shocking. Shame on these useless hypocrites.
There are those who choose to place the blame for high unemployment on Mr. Obama's shoulders, but keep in mind that it's the House that enacts legislation and controls the governmental purse-strings, not the President. The Stimulus package passed by the Democrats in 2009 helped the economy but would have been more effective if the GOP hadn't limited it to little more than a package of more useless tax breaks for the rich.

This is an up to date comprehensive review of Republican legislation that has resulted in no job creation.
GOP=Grand One-Percent Party Hypocrites indeed! Empty rhetoric from a bunch of loud mouthed Empty Suits. In other words, I see your mouth moving but all that is coming out of it is empty promises, flat out lies, and games at the expense of the middle class and the poor.

Where are the jobs,GOP?
32 years and 16 trillion in debt,there should some jobs besides all the ones the shrub created in the DHLS and the NeoCon Paradise that is Iraq.
Actually reading the House of representatives schedule reminds me of Mark Twain's Connecticut Yankee where the Yankee and his Protégé' attempt to create journalism by printing the "Court Circular";
