"... The American people (click title to entry - thank you) are still rightfully asking the question: 'Where are the jobs?"' Boehner said as he spoke at a ribbon cutting Friday in his home town of West Chester, a Cincinnati suburb. "Republicans are continuing to listen to the American people and are focusing our efforts on removing barriers to job growth."...
Let the headlines speak for themselves.
The Republicans are always 'signalling' they want to cooperate and avoid government shut downs, but, they just can't seem to get there.

Hm.
I think they need a train conductor.
Take for instance "It's Miller Time," "Father of the Year," "No Prop," "Man without a district," what's his name... While his children may be proud of him now (It's scary to believe he actually has parental rights, actually.) we are not. As a Congressman that has allowed any social program to benefit his children while a Dead Beat Dad he should pay every dime back TO THE GOVERNMENT.

Illinois Republican leaders are whispering their outrage over Congressman Joe Walsh's latest act of protest. The first-term, northwest suburban tea party favorite says he'll take a pass on the presidential address on Capitol Hill next week.
The speech next Thursday night will count as Obama's fifth address to a joint session of Congress. He will set forth the administration's plan to create jobs and reduce the nation's 9 percent unemployment rate....
Were his children ever on Food Stamps? Seriously. It is not unusual for Dead Beat Dads to rely on social programs for their children rather than the care and love of a parent. Single Moms have it tough and they are resourceful when they have to be. This Congress is more about character, ability and competency. The House can't or won't get anything done. Then Speaker Boner resorts to his rhetoric because he has nothing else to offer. It is unfortunate the nation hasn't learned from previous mistakes.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Bills necessary to avoid shutdowns of federal transportation and aviation programs are high on Congress' to-do list when it returns to work next week.
President Barack Obama says as many as 1 million jobs are at risk without action.
Both the White House and House Republicans signaled Wednesday that they want to avoid such a scenario, but that doesn't mean it will be easy.
Federal highway programs, and the fuel taxes that pay for them, will expire Sept. 30 unless Congress passes short-term extension legislation. It would be the eighth such stopgap effort in the past two years. Funds for hundreds of construction projects across the country would be held up without passage.
Similarly, authority for the Federal Aviation Administration expires Sept. 16. The agency has been operating under a series of 21 short-term extensions since 2007. A standoff between the House and Senate partially shut down the FAA for two weeks this summer. Nearly 4,000 employees were furloughed, more than 200 stop-work orders were issued for airport construction and other projects, and tens of thousands of workers in construction-related industries were laid off.
Layoffs in the ailing construction industry would be many times greater than that if highway programs expire, transportation experts said....
How many 'stop gap' measures have the Republicans passed in the House so far since January, I've lost count.The Republicans are always 'signalling' they want to cooperate and avoid government shut downs, but, they just can't seem to get there.
