Those jobs were probably not required then. I feel no sympathy for TSA screeners with double digit IQs and triple digit incomes getting laid off.

Also that is half the US population of legal working age. That number is so false.

I don't know what that is so I am just going to blame Obama.

In all seriousness I don't really get this besides the job loss thing is America forgeted

Which is why you vote for people who represent you, not people who are in your so-called party just because they are in your party.

People are always asking, "WHY ARE THERE STUPID PEOPLE IN CONGRESS". Well, maybe if you voted against them instead of not voting, this could have been avoided.

One person's opinion =\= instant majority

So what I got from this is tomorrow (My birthday... not sure if I should be entertained or depressed by this) about 170 million jobs aren't going to exist anymore or something?
I don't know how to politics someone fill me in here.

Tons of people bitch about government officials, are you kidding? What's funny is they are the ones who usually never vote.

Do you know how fixed congress is? They make it so hard for contributors and fresh faces. We have something like a 16% approval rating and about a 94% re-election rate.

Probably because the guys that ALWAYS vote are the "activists" or extreme rightists and leftists.
