No More Bush Tax Cuts for the Wealthiest

The Obama administration on Wednesday acknowledged a wide-ranging definition of “green jobs” that includes bus driver, bicycle-shop clerk and other unexpected lines of employment, which the chairman of the GOP-led House oversight committee said is being done for “clearly political purposes.”
GOP Rep. Darrell Issa, chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, made the assertion during a hearing on how the administration counts so-called green jobs and the Labor Department’s recent change to how reporters can access key unemployment reports and other information.
The Labor Department "has jeopardized the integrity of employment data in some cases for clearly political reasons," he said.
Issa suggested the administration is reclassifying such jobs to prove that billions of taxpayer dollars, through the federal stimulus program, have created green, or environmentally-focused jobs – a major initiative for President Obama.
“It’s about politics. It’s always been about politics,” said Issa, R-Calif. “If you work at the Salvation Army, that’s a green job.”
When Bureau of Labor Statistics Acting Commissioner John Galvin balked on what qualifies as a green job under the agency definition, Issa responded, “Just answer the question.”
“Does someone who sweeps the floor at a company that makes solar panels -- is that a green job?” Issa asked.
“Yes,” replied Galvin, who also acknowledged that a bike-repair shop clerk, a hybrid-bus driver, any school bus driver and “the guy who puts gas in a school bus” are all defined as green jobs.

Just curious, how are they going to come up with enough money to pay for the armed forces, when production jobs are handled by machines that can't be taxed?

the governments job is not to create jobs! not! thats for private industry. unless, of course, the leftists like taxing job creators right out of the country. the less government anyone has, the better off they are! who likes the idea of being told that "we the government" knows whas best for you?? not me. russia, china, n korea, iran,venezuella, all do not beleive this of course. they like controling all the buisness, and keeping everyone the same level. the peasant level......let private enterprise grow, like it used to. and we will have jobs back. i love how the left, now that they have failed with thier recall of scott, now says "democracy is dead!!" see what i mean by losers??? lol. they are the ones who wanted to not give him even one term, as they saw him cut lots of free shit. lol......and begin to balance the budget. now, they are so mad that the unions out spent scotts, that they are claiming its the other way around. what losers. we need rid of this party that used to be democrats, but got hyjacked by bunch of socialists. maybe they can hire one of the justices, like one of ohbamas appointees, to say its good, and install the democrate anyway!! ill bet they try!! lie. cheat. steal. the liberal way of victory! fek em. cant wait till nov. id like to see EVERY ONE VOTED OUT.
