In his weekly Capitol briefing with reporters, Cantor acknowledged that the Republican stopgap budget bill, known as a continuing resolution or CR, might increase unemployment. But he argued that the government should not be creating jobs if that means creating greater deficits.
"What kind of jobs is he talking about? Is he talking about government jobs? If so, why is the government hiring people it can't afford to pay?" Cantor asked. "This is obviously an unsustainable solution and something we're trying to correct in our CR."
Is Eric Cantor saying that it's not his job, to create jobs? Didn't the Republicans all run on a platform of job creation during the 2010 campaign? Isn't repealing healthcare reform, cutting spending, defunding Planned Parenthood, and policing women's internal organs all part of the plan to create jobs?
No?
