Repub Message, plain & simple...DO NOT INVEST IN AMERICA
Edited on Tue Feb-01-11 11:04 AM by kpete

DO NOT INVEST IN AMERICA


....they pretend they want to Create Jobs in America, but to Create Jobs, you must Invest in America. Yet the Party of No always vote Nay to any any spending for America's crumbling and decaying roads, streets, sewer system, infra-structure, high-speed rails, and public education (to further "dumb-down" Americans)! They vote No to any Investment in America's water, air, clean energy and her people.


They know that Investing in America means TO CREATE JOBS!


................

They do this while watching America continue to further decline and decay into a third-world country, because the Simple and Awful truth, is that Republicans do not want, and they Fear, a government for the people and by the people.

......................

Republicans take issue with one particular phrase that Obama uttered many times in his State of the Union address: "Invest in America." Republicans regard this as code language for higher taxes and more government spending. This feeling is deeply rooted.

Republicans Against Investments in America.

(PHOTO: Completion of first transcontinental railroad, Promontory Point, Utah)

It's a good thing that Republican President Abraham Lincoln and Republican President Dwight Eisenhower weren't president today, because today's Republican party would have never let them build either the transcontinental railroad or the interstate highway system. The transcontinental railroad connected the country, increased trade (thus, the economy boomed) and helped settle the West, which boomed the economy through mining and timber. The same is true for the interstate highway system, which also helps us get to work every day in a timely fashion. It is critical to moving our military to and from airports, seaports and land bases.,

So, Republicans decrying investments in modern America's crumbling infrastructure as being bad for the economy because it increases spending is illogical. This is coming from the party that calls itself the party of business, and yet, they don't remember that borrowing money from the bank (or government) to spend on an investment in your company (or country) is basic economics!! Businesses and banks across the country both benefit from this symbiotic relationship of the borrowing/lending cycle. Investments bring dividends (i.e. revenue). A business can't grow if it doesn't invest, and most can't invest without borrowing; the same it true for the government. We can't blame government for not improving the economy if we won't let it invest in America's infrastructure.
