Gettin' Jobbed



For the last seventy straight months there has been positive job growth in this country, believe it or not. That's a pretty incredible record of achievement but every time this information is posited online it's almost always followed by the same conservative response:



"Big deal. Those are just minimum wage jobs."



And then I think back to 2005 when the workers friend, George W. Bush, brought a woman on stage at an event and when she told him that she worked three jobs Bush's response to her was:



"Uniquely American, isn't it? I mean, that is fantastic that you're doing that. [Do you] Get any sleep?"



Sadly, I don't think things have changed all that much in eleven years. Republicans still think Americans working multiple jobs for minimum wage is "fantastic" else they would have done a better job of applying a "laser-like focus" on job creation, like they promised in 2010. Or simply raising the minimum wage. Instead, it's been six straight years of obstructionism.



Thanks for literally nothing, ass-holes.
