Jobs For Americans

A slogan of the Palin/McCain ticket.  A promise of more joibs created if they are elected.  Nice slogan, but where will thew jobs come from?  Oh yeah, tax cuts will produce more jobs.  Thinking……we have had tax cuts for about 8 years and the unemployment rate keeps climbing to where it is now, at 6.1%.  When Bush took office it was in the 4% neighborhood.  So now explain how the tax cuts will create Jobs, if you please.

In April he said:

In addition to rapid and targeted help for those families hurt by the mortgage crisis, it is essential to reduce the burdens on businesses and workers by lowering taxes, streamlining regulation, tackling health care costs, opening markets to American goods and helping those workers in need. Today’s news also underlines the need to focus on innovation, which grows the economy and creates an urgent need for effective worker re-training.

Basically, this is his message after every jobs report….tax cuts and incentives will create 2 million jobs in the years to come.

From Obama’s , The Blueprint For Change, there are the usual sub-texts about job creation and poverty.  But as with McCain there is NO direct confrontation for the creation of jobs, only vague crap about this program will create “x” amount of jobs, but nowhere do they give specifics.  Like I said just vague promises that may or may not be successful at creating needed employment.
