Former McCain adviser: GOP budget cuts would cost 700,000 jobs
Mark Zandi, an architect of the 2009 stimulus package who has advised both political parties, predicts that the GOP package would reduce economic growth by 0.5 percentage points this year, and by 0.2 percentage points in 2012, resulting in 700,000 fewer jobs by the end of next year.

I saw this at Huffington Post and the GOP is saying that the report is incorrect. This coming from Eric Cantor, I believe ... there is a big write up about this over at Huffington.

I have more faith in Mark Zandi. Here is the article in HuffPo:

It's amazing how cavalier people can be when it doesn't impact them.

My party believes that those public sector jobs are no more then entitlements and a waste and should have never been to begin with. They fully understand the impact of it but are more concerned with reducing the debt limits and spending. Most of America sadly will see it their way and go along with it.
They are starving the beast of revenue and employees; they are who wants to see a government breakdown.

It's not just a Republican thing ... Democrats seemed to have that same thought, as well. While I do support Democrats, I thought it was cavalier of their party how they acted toward passing a Tier 5 in early 2010. I seem to recall there was a lot of resistance among Democrats, which may explain why Nancy Pelosi was so dead set against it.
That was, until the run up to the elections in September. Then, they turned a quick 180. However, I thought it was too late for them to change the minds of voters.
I think I remember telling everyone back on the old UFF forums that the Democrats would end up losing the November elections if they didn't pass a Tier 5 level of unemployment benefits and judging by the outcome, I was correct. While I don't believe it was the single catalyst for the elections, I think it played a major part.

The GOP mantra NEVER LET THE TRUTH GET IN THE WAY OF A GOOD STORY!
