Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

It’s easier to kill a dangerous animal than a man who just happens to have different thoughts/values than one’s own.

I conferred with the team and they all agree – still not tired of winning!

Trump makes a mockery of the legal system and cowardly judges just sit back and let him.

I’m sure you banged some questionable people yourself. We’re allowed to grow past that.

Ah, the different things are different argument.

Another missed opportunity for Jamie Dimon to just shut the fuck up.

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

In my day, never was longer.

Speaker Mike Johnson is a vile traitor to the House and the Constitution.

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

I’m more Christian than these people and I’m an atheist.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

Michigan is a great lesson for Dems everywhere: when you have power…use it!

Be a traveling stable for those who can’t find room at the inn.

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

Everybody saw this coming.

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

People are weird.

Jobs Are Not My Job, Man

Ah, my senator Mitch McConnell once again showed a keen grasp on Sunday of what his constituents want from a Washington politician.

CNN’s Candy Crowley reminded the Kentucky Republican that a recent Gallup/USA Today poll found that 75 percent of Americans supported President Barack Obama’s plan to provide additional money for teachers, police and firefighters.

“Republicans helped not break a filibuster, if you will, in a procedural vote,” Crowley explained. “You basically got rid of that jobs bill which would have given money to the states, designed to hire or retain fireman, policeman and teachers. When we look at the polling, 75 percent of Americans supported that and yet, the Republicans were against it. So, how do you justify that in your mind?”

“Well, Candy, I’m sure that Americans do,” McConnell remarked. “I certainly do approve of firefighters and police. The question is whether the federal government ought to be raising taxes on 300,000 small businesses in order to send money down to bail out states for whom firefighters and police work. They’re local and state employees.”

“The question is whether the federal government can afford to be bailing out states. I think the answer is no.”

Sorry unemployed Kentuckians, your senator says we can’t afford to lift a finger to rehire teachers and firefighters, or to in fact do ANYTHING.  But we sure could afford a war in Iraq and to give the banks trillions, yes?  Unemployed here in the Bluegrass State?  Sorry, we’re broke.  Jobs are not Mitch McConnell’s job, you see.

And we’re broke because we can never, ever raise taxes on our precious job creators…only that’s not what the bill would have done, anyway.

“Yeah, these bills are designed on purpose not to pass,” McConnell asserted. “I mean, the president is deliberately trying to create an issue here. Look, the American people don’t think, I’m sure, that it’s a good idea. Four out of five of the so-called millionaires are business owners, over 300,000 small businesses in our country that hire people. I don’t think the American people think that raising taxes on business, small business in the middle of this economic situation we find ourselves in is a particularly good idea.”

On the contrary Mitch, they think it’s a great idea.  And the best part is that all these unemployed?  President Obama is “deliberately trying to create an issue” because the unemployed should apparently really be invisible or something.  Why, this unemployment issue wouldn’t exist if you know who would just keep his mouth shut, right?

If we eliminate taxes, it’ll create infinite jobs, you know.

    Now I listened to my friend Kevin say they were all small businesses, and as you pointed out, it just isn’t true. The joint tax committee has said about 3% of businesses fall in the top category that we’re talking about, and those businesses include things — companies like KKR, Pricewaterhouse, Fortune 100 companies, anyone that files as an S Corporation, so those are good businesses, but these are not mom and pops.
    __
    CROWLEY: Let me just in fairness point out, because I looked into this, they are the businesses, those 3 percent that are in there that we’re talking about are the ones that create the most jobs, but carry on.
    __
    VAN HOLLEN: But what we’re talking about here are big businesses. We’re talking about any business that files as an S corporation. We’re talking about big Washington law firms, we’re talking about lobbying firms, and we’re talking about things like Pricewaterhouse.
    __
    Now good companies, but to say that you’re protecting small businesses and mom and pops is just dead wrong, it’s counter factual. And I think we should put an end to the myth right now. What they’re protecting are big gas companies and corporate jets.

    Sorry unemployed Kentuckians, your senator says we can’t afford to lift a finger to rehire teachers and firefighters, or to in fact do ANYTHING.

    Here’s one of the reasons that the president’s job plan falls short. He talks about “rehiring teachers and firefighters,” and conservatives hear “public service union employees.” This makes it very easy to dismiss the plan as just being in the pocket of unions.

    There is also the perception that teachers and firefighters have fat salaries and pensions, and that shortages are not entirely because of a bad economy, but because of improvident giveaways on the part of local and state governments.

    Much of this is easily countered. Problem is, nobody is doing so, and it makes it easier for opponents of the job plan to fall back on simplistic notions of big government giveaways.

    There is also this. The president’s plan is, like many typical Democratic Party approaches, narrow and targeted. And unimaginative. The unemployment rate in California, for example, is hovering around 12%. Rehiring teachers and firefighters, is noble, but it doesn’t put a real dent in unemployment. Emphasis on retaining jobs is not the same thing as creating new jobs, especially new jobs in the private sector.

    @Redshift:

    Yes, we should not miss an opportunity to point out the basic lie that claims it’s a tax increase on people who have a million dollars (to pretend that it’s small business owners) when it’s actually people who make more than a million dollars a year

    Although it’s obviously “20/20 hindsight,” I wish that the president had simply let the Bush tax cuts die in 2010, instead of agreeing to the bargain that led to their extension.

    For every 2 private sector jobs created, since 2009, we’ve lost 1 public sector job.

    What’s hurting employment right now is public sector lay offs. The private sector is mostly stable and doing some hiring.

    Putting public sector workers back to work will do wonders to drop down the unemployment rate.

    The problem with the economy is there is no demand, i.e. no one wants to spend money. Usually the government spends money to fill in the drop in private sector spending, but that’s being blocked by Republicans.

    If the government stepped up and started spending money, by putting public sector workers back to work, you’d start seeing moment build, in terms of people being more secure and more willing to spend money.

    Whenever someone says “we can’t afford to raise taxes on small businesses…”, the immediate response should be “what about large businesses?” Any little bit of revenue would help, after all. If raising the top marginal rate raises taxes on small businesses, then add a new deduction or tax credit for businesses (or more specifically legitimate businesses, rather than individuals who simply incorporate themselves to dodge taxes).

    The underlying implication is that the tax law is incapable of distinguishing between large businesses, small businesses, and individual wealthy people, which is of course completely absurd.

    @gene108:

    What’s hurting employment right now is public sector lay offs. The private sector is mostly stable and doing some hiring.

    Just not true. It depends on the region of the country. Also, a lot of the first stimulus went to saving public jobs, not creating new ones. And public employees in some states are getting hammered over wages and pensions.

    Any way you cut it, there are two big parallel problems. Retaining jobs and keeping new ones. And with state and local budgets getting squeezed, there is more call for shedding public sector jobs.

    Putting public sector workers back to work will do wonders to drop down the unemployment rate.

    I just don’t see the numbers here, anywhere, that supports your claim. And here in California, we have an odd imbalance. In some school districts, declining populations are seeing the closing of schools and cutbacks on school construction. There is a continuing need for teachers, but it is not uniform.

    If the government stepped up and started spending money, by putting public sector workers back to work, you’d start seeing moment build, in terms of people being more secure and more willing to spend money.

    The consumption model, that Americans can just revive the economy by spending, is defective. Job loss and wage stagnation is crippling the economy. Here’s a little nugget from former NY Times reporter David Cay Johnston’s economic blog:

    Here is how much economic progress America has made in the 21st Century: the average taxpayer’s 2009 income was at the same level as 1997.
    __
    Average 2009 income was $54,283, just $18 more than in 1997 when you adjust for inflation, not that anyone would notice a difference of $1.50 a month in their pocket.
    __
    And compared to 2007, the last peak year of the economy, average income fell a painful $8,588 or 13.7 percent in real terms.

    What makes people feel secure is not seeing somebody else with a job. What makes people feel secure is when they themselves have a job with good wages.

    David Cay Johnston is a former NY Times business reporter who writes very clearly about economic issues, which is probably one of the reasons he gets ignored by dumber ass pundits, who don’t understand business or economics, but love to pass on the received wisdom of the Beltway.

    Here is some key data about jobs and wages from the government’s most recent data. It all comes down to this:

    Fewer Jobs, Less Pay.

    There were fewer jobs and they paid less last year, except at the very top where, the number of people making more than $1 million increased by 20 percent over 2009.
    __
    The median paycheck — half made more, half less — fell again in 2010, down 1.2 percent to $26,364. That works out to $507 a week, the lowest level, after adjusting for inflation, since 1999.
    __
    The number of Americans with any work fell again last year, down by more than a half million from 2009 to less than 150.4 million.
    __
    More significantly, the number of people with any work has fallen by 5.2 million since 2007, when the worst recession since the Great Depression began, with a massive taxpayer bailout of Wall Street following in late 2008.

    Fewer jobs, less pay. If the government is not tackling this problem, they ain’t even in the game.

    @Brachiator:

    Here’s one of the reasons that the president’s job plan falls short. He talks about “rehiring teachers and firefighters,” and conservatives hear “public service union employees.”

    Who cares what conservatives hear? This proposal isn’t intended for their ears; we already know they’ll oppose any Obama proposal and refuse to even allow a vote on it. It’s going nowhere. That’s not the point.

    There is also this. The president’s plan is, like many typical Democratic Party approaches, narrow and targeted. And unimaginative.

    This mind-bogglingly wrong analysis is only possible if you look at this one specific bill in isolation and ignore every shred of context surrounding it.

    President Obama already proposed a jobs bill that was not “narrow and targeted”. I’d have liked to see it even larger, but it would’ve helped. And the GOP shot it down in lockstep, as they’ve vowed to do to anything Obama proposes.

    We know, by this point, that the GOP has no intention of compromising, no desire to fix the economy, and in fact have all but broadcast their intent to deliberately sabotage the economy and harm this country in the hopes that American voters will blame Obama for the damage.

    I mean, honestly: is there anyone who can in good faith even dispute this, at this point? No? Moving on.

    Since the GOP will not pass any constructive proposal Obama puts forward, the only option we have left is to make the GOP’s priorities and responsibility for this inaction as clear as possible. So Obama picks one piece of the larger bill that was shot down, and proposes simply saving jobs for teachers and firefighters–two jobs which have broad appeal to just about everyone who isn’t a rabid right-winger.

    McConnell is absolutely correct that this bill isn’t designed to pass, but what he doesn’t acknowledge is that it won’t pass because he and his party have no intention of passing anything that will put Americans back to work. This leaves the administration and Democrats in Congress with only one option for legislation: bills which will get Republicans unequivocally on the record with their priorities. With a larger, broader bill, it’s easy to obfuscate about exactly what part of the bill you were opposed to and voted against. By submitting each piece of the bill like this, it forces Republicans into the corner they’ve painted for themselves.

    @Catsy:

    You mean, conservatives don’t vote? It’s not just about what obstructionist GOP politicians hear, it’s about what voters hear.

    President Obama already proposed a jobs bill that was not “narrow and targeted”.

    While I commend the president over doing something, I stand by what I said about the bill being narrow and unimaginative. The bill would extend the payroll tax cut and 100% expensing of the purchase of new assets used in business. Neither of these proposals have done much for the economy so far. And if you don’t have a job, and haven’t worked in a few years, a payroll tax cut is absolutely meaningless to you. Also, the payroll tax cut has not led to increased employment.

    One of the larger components of the bill, with a price tag of $35 billion, was the portion that would go to retain teachers and firefighters.

    So Obama picks one piece of the larger bill that was shot down, and proposes simply saving jobs for teachers and firefighters—two jobs which have broad appeal to just about everyone who isn’t a rabid right-winger.

    I understand the political appeal. I’m just saying that this is an economic bandaid.

    With a larger, broader bill, it’s easy to obfuscate about exactly what part of the bill you were opposed to and voted against. By submitting each piece of the bill like this, it forces Republicans into the corner they’ve painted for themselves.

    I agree with you here about the politics of it. Hopefully, voters will make Republicans pay for their stupidity. But in the meantime, the economy will continue to sputter.
