Rep. Broun Fine With 250,000 PUBLIC Employees Being LAID OFF Because They Should ‘ GET A REAL JOB ’



:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

I'm just sick and tired with low life Rethuglicans barking about how laid off Government workers should get a REAL JOB!!

WHAT ABOUT THEM?
They have made a career of sponging off the backs of tax payers while lining their pockets along the way.




" Congressional and White House negotiators are currently trying to hash out a deal under which the United States will raise its debt ceiling, which is normally a non-controversial process that simply requires a vote on a clean bill to hike the limit.



Some obstinate conservatives have decried raising the debt ceiling, saying they will vote against any hike. Rep. Paul Broun (R-GA) is one of these conservatives. Appearing on conservative radio host Martha Zoller’s show today, Broun not only pledged to vote against raising the debt ceiling, but he also shrugged off the potential loss of a quarter million jobs as a result of doing so. Claiming that these employees would largely be public sector workers, he told Zoller that they should get a real job, anyway:



BROUN: We have created this huge debt. <…> We’ve got to stop the outrageous spending that’s going on. We hear the CBO says well if we don’t raise the debt limit, it’s going to put so many people out of work, I don’t remember then number, I think it’s 250,000 or something, are gonna be put out of work. Well those are gonna be government employees that are put out of work. There are a lot of government employees that need to go find a real job!

3. Just like spoiled brats with no one to fire them. Every election cycle, when their ass
is on the line, they pull out their bag of tricks and begin the task of duping the lemmings at large for their vote once again.

4. Let him dismiss his own government hired staff and introduce legislation
that redirects their pay toward the national debt. Except of course I'm sure he thinks HIS staff have real jobs.

7. Somehow, he doesn't consider himself as the same government worker who needs to find a REAL job.
