Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D-CA) claimed today that "over 170 million jobs" could be lost due to sequestration.
Starting at around 0:30…
Yesterday we did have Mr. Bernanke in our committee and he came to tell us what he’s doing with quantitative easing and that is trying to stimulate the economy with the bond purchases that he’s been doing because he’s trying to keep the interest rates low and jobs – and he said that if sequestration takes place, that’s going to be a great setback. We don’t need to be having something like sequestration that’s going to cause these jobs losses, over 170 million jobs that could be lost ...

Unfortunately, I didn’t author that. Also, correct the spelling of ‘barrel’.

Hey! That was my line not Laz’s.
To: Lazamataz
Ain’t nobody got time for that.

If Waters’ job is one of the “170 million” then sequestration sounds like a great plan!!
Bring it!!

Well yeah, but some jobs will have to be lost more than once.
It's a small price to pay for the fundamental transformation of America, don't you think?

If we could tax stupid, Maxine Waters would singlehandedly balance the American budget.
Right on!

Confess - you'd still hit it. (although I'm sure we are getting close here to a line many don't believe exists)
To: Lazamataz
Laz, it’s time to do your duty as an American. Hit it....
In the face. With a chair...
If not you, who?
If not now, when?

My local news is a CBS affiliate. They started out the broadcast warning of MASSIVE spending cuts.
They went on to warn us that several air traffic control towers would be shut down. Complete BS.
They even named the towers...one is at the Air Guard base, where tankers take off and do real live refueling missions involved in the war on terror. They are not going to close this tower.

170 M jobs ??
You know $80B/$170M = 80/0.17 or $470 dollars.
These Fed gub folks only cost $470 dollar per year including benefits?
I guess simple math is not a requirement to be part of the House Dem Caucus and certainly not the BCCaucus .

Does she mean to tell us that there are still 170 million jobs left in this country?

like the guy who was questioning some military brass over the use of Guam.
He was worried it would tip over. National TV. No lie. Google it.

I would hit that until she cowered in the fetal position, naked, sweating and trembling, covered in blood and lying in a puddle of her own sick.
