Tax the unions and refund it to the overtaxed taxpayers.
To quote Ayn Rand: “Why don’t you just pick them off the trees, where you think they grow?”
I have a 2000 Nissan truck with more smarts than Shonda Sheen.
cut taxes, regulations and ban public employee unions NOW and the jobs will come back.

This what you get, Minnesota, when you elect an idiot so-called comedian to the Senate. No matter what the topic, Al Franken can open his mouth and prove he's a moron.
OK....reduxio ad absurdum....why don't all working people quit their jobs and immediately go on unemployment? Then, the economy would be really really stimulated.
Freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeekin' unionistas!
Any conference that permits a. frankin to attend as anything other than a janitor is rediculous on it's face.
Who wants to bet me a dinner this Shonda voted for zero? “Hey Shonda, sounds like you were a union worker? If so, you should have lots of $$ saved up as we non-union workers payed for your pension, etc.!”
Guess you got the hope and change you asked for!
Uhhh, no, that's not the way to do it. The best way to fuel the engine is to get the gov't out of the way by cutting taxes for everyone. If you put more take-home pay in a person's paycheck, and they believe that pay increase is permanent (not some idiotic, temporary, rebate), they will spend more. That increased consumer demand will result in more production and the need for more workers. Personally, if you can't find a job in 99 weeks, you're asking more than you're worth and you need to take a hard look at yourself and your skill set. Taking money from people and then have the gov't turn around and spend it says that the gov't knows how to spend my money better than I do. Bullsh%t!
As far as Franken's comment, Congress wrote those loopholes into the tax code. Why not ask them why they put them there. Al: Get off your thick-lipped ass and pass a tax and spending cut and just get out of the way. Give consumers the cash to buy what they want, not what you want so you can get reelected.
“We can create jobs if we want to. Its a matter of political will.”
Wish harder. Beggars want rides.
Hey, Trumka, get a life, or.......get some brains. Obama is working you like a puppet while he destroys union jobs, creates none and destroys this country With you being seen on the same stage as the Democrat nutcases you hang with is a travesty to the working men and women of the real USA labor movement. Get lost deadbeat supposed union leader. Go hang out with traitor POTUS Obama until he throw you under the bus!!! What a dummy!!!!
Some "gems of wisdom" are so ludicrous they need no further comment.
Hell yeah, just take all the $ that is being confiscated from public employee union members and put it back in the pockets of business owners. Is that what you had in mind, “Dick”?
They just say things and that's supposed to become true, let me try this; "we need to acknowledge that the Obama policies prevented us from building warp-engines, hurting women, the chillrin and Trekkies the most"
Shonda needs to learn a little bit about economics before engaging her pie hole. It would take three people to get her going in the right direction: One to buy her Hayek’s “The Road to Serfdom.” A second person to read it to her. And a third to explain it to her.
my two cents here...
THE GOVERNMENT ONLY CREATES PUBLIC-SECTOR JOBS! THIS IS WHAT GETS LOST IN THE MALAISE. EVEN THOUGH PRIVATE COMPANIES MIGHT BE HIRED TO A JOB I.E STATE ROAD CONSTRUCTION DO YOU NOT THINK THAT THE PUBLIC SECTOR WOULD WANT SOME SORT OF KICK-BACK? I DO. THE GOVERNMENT CREATES WAITING LINES! THERE IS NO PROFIT MOTIVE IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR. THAT’S WHY YOU HAVE LAZY CITY WORKERS AND 1-HR WAITS AT YOUR LOCAL DMV FOR SOMETHING SO SIMPLE AS A STICKER RENEAWL! THEY’RE ALL GOING TO GET YOUR TAX DOLLARS ANYWAY,SO WHAT THE HELL DO THEY CARE! THEY WON’T GET FIRED BECAUSE OF THE UNION. THE GOVERNMENT CREATES NOTHING BUT A MESS. WE NEED TO LET THE FREE MARKET WORK! THE BAILOUT PUT US IN AND PROLONGED THIS DEPRESSION/RECESSION. CAPTIALISM ALWAYS EXPANDS AND RETRACTS. SOME GET SPIT OUT ALONG THE WAY WHILE OTHERS THRIVE. SOME BUISNESSES FAIL! LET THEM FAIL! WHEN THE GOVERNMENT GETS IT’S DISGUSTING HANDS IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR YOU HAVE COMMUNISIM,EVEN IF IT’S COMMUNISIM “LIGHT” GOVERNMENT CONTROL OF THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION ISN;T ANYTHING ELSE BUT COMMUNISIM.
An employer might have some serious reservations about the employability of anybody “thinking” in this fashion.
