With the lowest job participation rate in years, and the ever growing debt?

	With the lowest job participation rate in years, and the ever growing debt? How in the world could you vote for Obama? I just don't get you democrats, get you head out of the clouds and come back down to reality, the economy is not improving! Asked By: Liberal Hero - 10/28/2012

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker
Here's why I believe Obama should be president: The tea party will retain the House and quite possibly win the Senate. I wouldn't mind having a traditional Republican House, Senate and White House but that's not what we're talking about in 2012. If Romney gets in and the tea party wins both houses of Congress, you can expect Romney to rubber-stamp every piece of lunatic legislation the freak show puts before him. Is that what you want? The anti-intellectual, anti-science freak show? The abstinence obsessives, the 8,000-year-old Earthers, the holy warriors, the anti-women social Neanderthals, the code word racists, the closet homosexuals, insurrection promoters and every end-timer who sees the Virgin Mary in a piece of toast getting their legislation rubber-stamped by the White House? Not me! I'm a Republican but I think the tea party is dangerous, and demonstrably misguided. I was actually a participant until their agenda changed in 2010.

Obama is causing universal trickle up poverty. Answered By: Rocky - 10/28/2012

If you're concerned about jobs and the middle class, don't vote for Republicans! I support Obama partly because of this: Republicans voted 13 times against considering Democratic efforts to prevent or discourage the shipping of American jobs overseas and to crack down on offshore tax havens; and Republicans voted in favor of pro-outsourcing measures. For the last decade, Republicans have fought to keep, and even expand, corporate tax loopholes that reward outsourcing of American jobs. President Obama noted in 2010, “Over the last four years alone, Republicans in the House voted 11 times to continue rewarding corporations that create jobs and profits overseas – a policy that costs taxpayers billions of dollars every year.” [10/16/10] Since taking control of the House in 2011, Republicans have voted: - For the GOP Job Outsourcers’ Bill of Rights that makes it easier for corporations to send American jobs overseas and weakens the rights of middle class workers, allowing employers to relocate their operations to punish employees for exercising their rights to organize, demand better benefits and safer working conditions, and ensure a full day’s pay for an honest day’s work. [Vote 711, 9/15/11, AFL-CIO] - Against the Democratic budget that rewards companies that choose to invest in or bring back jobs to America with a 20?ax credit, eliminates tax advantages for companies moving jobs overseas, as proposed by President Obama, and closes loopholes that allow businesses to avoid taxes by sheltering earnings in foreign tax havens. [Vote 150, 3/29/12] - Against considering the Bring Jobs Home Act – the President’s proposal to reward companies that choose to invest in or bring back jobs to America with a 20 percent tax credit, and to eliminate tax advantages for companies moving jobs overseas. [The Record, Vote 456, 7/10/12] - Against stopping businesses that outsource American jobs from receiving a 20 percent business tax deduction. [Times Republican, Vote 176, 4/19/12] - Against stopping companies that ship jobs overseas from taking advantage of the repeal of the medical device tax. [Vote 360, 6/7/12] - Against ending government contracts that reward corporations that ship American jobs overseas. [Release, Vote 19, 1/25/11] - Against considering the U.S. Call Center Worker and Consumer Protection Act to help revitalize a U.S. call center industry that has lost over 500,000 jobs just in the past six years. The measure includes incentives to reduce outsourcing by requiring call centers to notify the Secretary of Labor at least 120 days before relocating outside of the U.S., and giving preference in contracts to employers who keep their call centers at home. [Paramus Post, Vote 381, 6/19/12] - Against a measure that places a priority on keeping jobs in America, protecting the authority of the National Labor Relations Board to order an employer to maintain or restore jobs in the U.S. that would otherwise be outsourced to a foreign country. [Vote 710, 9/15/11] - Against a measure to discourage outsourcing by denying the underlying bill’s pro-corporation election rules for companies that ship American jobs overseas and leveling the playing field for workers in union elections. [Vote 868, 11/30/11] - Against an effort to require work performed under intelligence contracts be first provided to U.S. companies and workers, and not outsourced to foreign-owned companies. [Release, Vote 300, 5/31/12] - Against a measure to encourage that oil and gas leases be awarded to companies that avoid outsourcing American jobs and that use U.S.-made materials. [Release, Vote 409, 6/21/12] - Against a measure to ensure that mining companies that receive American permits for mineral exploration not outsource American jobs and make a good faith effort to purchase American mining equipment. [Release, Vote 467, 7/12/12] - Against a measure to help close overseas tax havens by giving the Treasury Department greater powers to investigate offshore tax abuses and crack down on offenders and banks that aid them, which could reduce the deficit by as much as nearly $1 billion. [Vote 344, 6/6/12] From 2007-2010, Republicans voted eleven times to: - Protect tax breaks for corporations that ship American jobs overseas. - Protect off-shore tax havens for corporations and the wealthiest Americans. - Protect tax loopholes for CEOs’ deferred compensation paid by off-shore companies, foreign tax haven corporations dodging U.S. taxes, and Americans who renounce their citizenship. These tax breaks cost American taxpayers over $60 billion Read more and get live links here: http://www.democraticleader.gov/blog/?p=5433 ## Answered By: iris054 - 10/28/2012

Right now, the economy is almost in the exact same shape it was when Bush left office (not even Rush Limbaugh can deny that...without lying, of course). Unemployment numbers are the same and the Debt is actually growing at a slower rate then when Bush was mis-managing things. Obama stopped the bleeding. Answered By: Smarter Then You - 10/28/2012

Debt is growing due to the deficit. A deficit of over $1 trillion can't be balanced in 4 years. However, it has been falling. Unemployment rises during a recession and in the period after it - low demand means less supply. Less supply means less jobs. Besides, I fail to see how pandering to corporations - the same corporations who shifted production lines to Asia - will benefit the economy. Unless you consider low paid part time jobs to be the best option for your economy. Answered By: Leo - 10/28/2012

"how in the world?" what's that supposed to mean? there's voting booths everywhere. what'd you mean "how"? oh, you mean rationally? well it's simple. when you're on gov-aid programs, and there's a man who's about to become pres that might cut them; you tend for the guy who promises not to. our votes don't matter anyway, it's the electoral-college who elects the president. been that since the 2nd election.

The really sad feature of the job is the historic number of under of 18 to 30 year old people who have had no real job. The sad joke was the "shovel ready" promise of 2008. If I voted in the U.S., that lie would be the single factor upon which to vote. Answered By: thomas p - 10/28/2012

The USA was running surpluses under Clinton. Bush Jr burned all that down plus started 2 wars. Republicans just say they are for responsible government. Do not judge them by what they say, judge them by what they do. Answered By: Douglas L - 10/28/2012

I'm voting for obama because He has worked hard to make this country better. The republicans when he took office did not say let's make the country better they said their only objective was to get obama. Remember Congress controls the money and it makes all laws including tax. The republicans have worked very hard in Congress to obstruct any progress toward job creation and debt reduction I'm not voting for Romney he only appears to be saying what he has to say to get elected Answered By: thomas n - 10/28/2012

	How do I get a job with Dodgy work history and no experience? Basically- no degree, although I have tried completing one in the past and stopped because of physical and mental health issues which were overwhelming to deal with along with going to classes full time. I'm not stupid and I am quite articulate. I am 23 and have only worked for about two years retail in high school and stopped working to go to university. I worked a few months in 2010 retail after I dropped out but it was only a seasonal position, and the only reason why I have not been able to constantly work is because of mental health issues. I had also tried going back to community college during my free time since i left university in 2008/9 and I had panic attacks while in community college, which made my anxiety worse from then on. Well recently I met a good doctor and he prescribed me some meds that are stabilizing my moods and I feel the best I've felt in years, and I'm ready to work. Thing is, I don't know how to get a job now since I've spent literally years being depressed and anxious doing nothing. I don't really have anything to put on my resume, and I never finished my AA degree either. All I've done is cashiering and although I do the job well and I get promoted easily when I do these jobs because I'm a hard worker and I try to go above and beyond what they ask of me,which is the attitude I have no matter what kind of work I'm doing as long as I'm getting paid. But I hate cashiering because it's too easy and I want a job that is more interesting. Any suggestions for me on how to get a job that is NOT Retail with the type of background I have right now? I also realize I have to go to college to get certain types of jobs, I am talking about what I can do right here right now. 1 answer - Asked By: Alex Prieto - 10/14/2012

Still people who take the p***, argue with managers, gossip mongers have been selected for some very responsible positions at work. I seriously can't get my head around it why, why unprofessional people who have no work ethics being selected over me, whereas I have a track record of excellent performance and never shy away from any work my manager ask me to do?

	What to wear to a job interview VS a career fair? So I have a nice white button up shirt, business skirt and pants, and a suit jacket. I'm applying for a software development job and I'm very short and can look young so I'm trying to look adult, yet professional. I'm also attractive so I'm trying not to look too sexy. For the career fair I'm thinking of wearing just my nice shirt and a skirt with low heels. My reasoning being it's approachable and attractive without going overboard since the career fair hosts are mostly younger male recent grads. I want to be remembered but not intimidating. For my interviews I was thinking pants, suit jacket (power suit). My reasoning being it'll be older execs and HR people (mostly women) so less sexy with the pants but more powerful with the suit jacket. What do you think?! 2 answers - Asked By: Beast - 9/23/2012
