Shortly after gaining the House of Representatives in 2010 the new Speaker of the House, John Boehner, made the welcome claim that the primary goal of the Republican Party was to increase employment. His exact words were:

“We’re going to have a relentless focus on creating jobs.”

The following, therefore, is a chronological list of legislative activities by the GOP beginning 2-10-2011. I’m sorry to report that none, so far, have resulted in a single new job being created in America.

Note: I began this list as sort of a joke. That it has reached its currently imposing length without one anecdotal citation of new employment is simply astonishing, though not surprising as the GOP’s plan is to keep the economy languishing and blame it all on Mr. Obama. The House, after all, enacts legislation and controls the governmental purse-strings, not the President.

Funny list of all the non-job-creating accomplishments of the House for the past year.  ”Keeping millions unemployed to put one man [Obama] out of work”
