With the Obama unemployment rate at historic levels, democrats believe that tapping into American natural resources is a problem not a solution to job creation.
Let’s face it… Democrats hate the poor and unemployed.

Top democrats Rep. Rob Andrews (D-N.J.) and Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) held a press conference this week and agreed that drilling for oil was “a problem, not a solution” for creating jobs.
And, this is exactly the reason why these insane radicals should never be allowed to hold power again.

CNS News reported:

Rep. Rob Andrews (D-N.J.) said that increasing oil drilling “off the coast” is “a problem, not a solution” to creating jobs in the United States. Andrews recommended that House Republicans bring legislation to the floor if they think more drilling will create jobs.

Appearing at a press conference with Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) on job creation, Rep. Andrews said, “I agree with my colleague and friend that drilling for oil off the coast is a problem, not a solution, but let’s get back to the main point here that if the Republicans really believe that was really a job-creating idea, why don’t they put it on the floor?”

For the record… The U.S. oil and natural gas industry is one of America’s largest employers, supporting more than 9 million jobs across the country.

    Rob Andrews was making endless appearances and sanctimoniously claiming that rescinding ObamaCare would raise the deficit. I haven’t heard that from his mealy-mouth lately.

    As far as Wasserman-Shultz is concerned I refuse to listen to a word she says until she removes the marbles from her mouth. She needs to go back to being Pelosi’s handmaiden.

    “Jobs” = Labor

    Labor is a cost of production.

    The democrat party wants to create jobs. Figures.

    The correct strategy is to let the economy grow. Economic activity is the goal. Jobs will follow that. The prime obstacle right now to economic growth is a government that takes too much from productive people and companies. Reduce that burden and economic activity will blossom. The democrat party opposes that. Also figures.

    I actually think they are correct here – kind of…

    If we drilled more, we would add jobs there but all the liberal free-loaders collecting checks to investigate alternative means to our current (pre-drilling) crisis would become pointless and likely cut off. And if we add say 2K oil jobs but loose 10K free-loaders, there will be more unemployed.

    The issue comes in the fact Democrats see people sitting on their rear collecting Gov pay to “study” as “employed people” where republicans see them for what they are.

    What the Dems don’t seem to be counting is the number of homeless and druggies the Unions and Activist groups will be able to hire to protest the oil companies though!

We need rubio, and king and bachman..people who defend Americans—I say shut down all CAIR programs, all radical mosques, and send the IG to investigate DOJ (waterman), and IG on OIL rights. Send 100K troops to the border shut them down..all employers must use e-verify or fine them 1K a day–all dmvs verify I-9s get the law breakers round them up and send them home! Send all the illegal moslems in MI home–those in NYC–all around the country, fine santuary states for breaking US law…if they want to be AMericans they must speak ENGLISH and PAY our taxes!

    maybe the problem is more along the lines of their political capital – more jobs created means less dependent on the government. less people to feel indebted to one legislature or the other. when politicos tap the public till and act as if it came out of their own pocket.

    So since we’re not really allowed to be drilling in the gulf right now, where exactly are all these magical jobs? I mean, the problem is resolved, right? No new drilling?

    And just why in the hell would the Republicans need to submit a bill to drill for oil? You mean that’s something that’s not already covered by any federal laws and regulations? Who are these jokers?

    I swear, I’ll never, ever understand the logic of these leftards…

    Yeah, now that I think of it, they’re right. Batsh*t Pelosi said that the number one way to grow the economy is unemployment. Employ people, economy shrinks. Unemploy people, economy grows.

    Is there any doubt that Obama is in Rio to help encourage earnings for George Soros?

    Let’s go back just a shoret year and a half ago:

    “GulfNews.com

    August 15, 2008

    London: Billionaire investor George Soros bought an $811 million stake in Petroleo Brasileiro (Pretrobas) in the second quarter, making the Braziian state-controlled oil company his investment fund’s largest holding.

    Pretrobas shares traded at an average closing price of $64.83 each during the second quarter, when Soros bought the stake.”

    Friday, Petrobas closed at $38.87, a 40% loss of $25.96 per share from when Soros purchased the stock. But hey, never worry, George, Pinnochiobama is there to pump up your holdings assuring the Brazilians that while he won’t drill for our own oil, he will be more than happy to support them drilling for theirs, so we can buy it, and George Soros can fill his campaign coffers with the profits.

    RS commented:

    But how can this not be?

    Democrats have selected solar and wind to be the winners, and oil to be the loser.

    And every Democrat KNOWS that Democrats are just smarter than everyone else.
    And Andrews is a LAWYER. Everyone knows that lawyers know everything about everything.

    That oil stuff must be for dopes!

    It’s okay to loan Brazil billions, so they can drill for oil and employ thousands of people, and then the U.S. gets to put money into their economy for the purchase of the oil. If that isn’t the dumbest thing, I don’t know what is. Why have Americans drill for oil, employ thousands, and stimulate their economy…now that would just be sooooo dumb.

    the opponent to Debbie Wasserman-Test got about 30% of the vote. With NO help at all. We should apart from GOP help her next time and see if we can switch the seats.
    Not supposed to use the “D” word around Democrats but this is “DUMB”.
    If people have good jobs, they pay into Soc Sec, pay FICA, Pay other taxes,buy groceries and cars and appliances..and Presto! the country is humming.
    To rail against people working and the creation of great jobs with a significant ripple effect is also “D” word–DUMB

    I swear when I hear Debbie Wasserman-Test speak, all I can think is that she’s prepping for her next gig as an MSLSD host. (I’m honestly surprised MSLSD hasn’t hired former Rep. Alan Grayson by now.)

    She truly is a case study in ‘liberal brain gone bad’. Or rancid. Or something.

    I always wonder, when I hear Demonrats like her or Nanzi ‘We Have To Pass The Bill To Find Out What’s In It’ Pelousy, what happened in their childhood, what trauma they suffered, that caused them to end up like they have. They need therapy, not a seat in Congress.

Like Nazi Pelosi’s claim that unemployment is THE BEST economic stimulus. How fracking stupid can one be? And forget about having a logical converstation with Wasserman Shcultz; she’s just too partisan to see any other point of view, no matter how logical.
