Steele: government jobs are not jobs?
Will he, then, return all his salary, earned as a Lt. Governor of Maryland?

And what about all the jobs created by the Bush Administration, mainly in the Homeland Security Dept.?

Oh, yeah. Jobs created by Republicans are good...

:puke:

3. That was really dumb
He probably thought about it afterwards and realized it didn't come out right.

I think he was trying to say that the jobs created will only be temporary jobs and after the projects are built(in a couple of years)the people would go back to being unemployed. I heard this talking point from a conservative person on tv.

Extremely childish, immature, dumb and in the right party. LOL!

6. Jobs with an end point are not jobs to this imbecile.
Any construction job is not really a job since once the road or building is built the job ends. This guy is as dumb as they come.

8. Does Steele believe that people are only going to have the jobs temporarily?
It's not like there's not enough out there that needs to be fixed, rebuilt, or renovated out there. At any rate, with a job, people will have income, will spend that money (thereby boosting the economy), will pay down their debts, they won't have their homes foreclosed, and, most importantly, they will gain marketable skills that they can take with them into the PRIVATE sector- if any jobs ever become available to them THERE, of course.

WHAT's the downside, exactly? :shrug:
