John Boehner’s ’46 Jobs Bills’ Claim Is a Damn Twisted Joke
"Unlike President Obama’s American Jobs Act, which the CBO said would reduce the deficit and create over a million jobs, Boehner’s bills are a collection of cynical, Orwellian repackagings of terrible Republican ideas that have nothing to do with creating jobs. The “Restoring Healthy Forests for Healthy Communities Act,” for example, guts federal protections of federal lands, and promises only to restore employment and educational opportunities” by “ensuring that such counties have a dependable source of revenue from National Forest System Land.”
It doesn’t actually create any jobs, just a chance for states to plug budget holes (created by tax cuts, in many cases) by selling off federal land resources."
