Boehner wants to cut jobs to reduce deficit



Republican Speaker of the House, John Boehner said that losing more jobs in the U.S. is just fine with him. “When asked about the risk of losing federal jobs as a result of the Fiscal Year 2011 funding bill currently being debated on the House floor, the Republican said, “so be it,” According to MSNBC.

Boehner’s statement goes against the republican pledge made before the 2010 elections that the number one priority of the GOP would be to create, not cut jobs.

The GOP budgets cuts would result in the combined loss of one million jobs. According to MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell, cutting the job s of federal employees would trickle down to the local economy, taking out more jobs in a domino effect.
