What would be the jobs #s if the republicans had not been sandbagging the economy 24/7?

In 1948 Harry Truman ran against the "do nothing congress" and won. It is now time
to go for the kill shot and hold those bastards accountable for working to tank the
economy from the time Obama took office.

My 11/7/12 dream no more Congresspersons Bachmann, Cantor, West,
King, and Ryan. Sadly Rep. Boner district is so safe he fuck a goat at noon
on the courthouse lawn in Piqua, OH and still be re-elected.

Because with more people working more people would be spending money
and that would stimulate the economy to produce even more jobs.

The republicans even voted against a jobs for vets bill in order to tank the economy
and they have worked to kill thousands of public sector jobs too.

Hell, the President's jobs bill has been put on hold in Congress for almost 2 years.
