Frank Guinta Kills 2000 NH Jobs, Feels Their Pain

by: Dean Barker

Fri Jul 15, 2011 at 08:02:56 AM EDT


Frank Guinta feels the pain of the jobless in New Hampshire as he advertises his stealth campaign event jobs fair:
Each number represents a real, living person who is out of work, a family that is struggling to avoid bankruptcy, or a person who wonders whether he or she will ever find another middle class job. Even worse, those monthly unemployment figures don't include the truly desperate: people who have been out of work for so long, they have given up hope of ever being employed again.

...One man told me he has been out of work for three years. Think about that for a minute; the last time he got a paycheck was 2008. Another man said he has had to use his savings to pay the bills while he looks for a new job. As a result, he now wonders whether he can afford to keep his child in college for another year. The stories went on and on, and they truly tugged at my heart.

Frank Guinta feels no pain killing some two thousand New Hampshire jobs (h/t Tuck):
If the House passed budget were signed into law around two thousand construction workers in New Hampshire would lose their jobs, according to the Federal Highway Administration. First District Congressman Frank Guinta says even if the number is correct, he was sent to Washington to cut spending.

"Well Democrats have been asking for more money for the last four years and they've spent us into debt and deficit. We've got to live within our means."

Not sure the new Maternal, Kinder, Gentler, Re-Elect Congressman Frank Guinta model works so well with the pre-existing Paternal, Austerity, Elect Candidate Frank Guinta one.

and Frank knows all about (4.00 / 1)
living within his means. He must be assuming that all 2000 construction workers have magic bank accounts, like he does.
