Today on MSNBC, Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) attempted to argue that the House economic recovery package needs more corporate tax cuts instead of infrastructure spending, arguing that it wouldn’t help create any jobs. McCarthy, however, was swiftly knocked down by host Norah O’Donnell:
REP. MCARTHY: Refurbishing a building, putting new grass down in a mall. That doesn’t create buildings. That doesn’t creates jobs.
O’DONNELL: Really? I would think you have to hire somebody to put the new sod down on the National Mall.
Watch it:
The plan to revitalize the National Mall is a very small part of the economic recovery package; conservatives are grasping at straws to justify their reflexive opposition. As the Wonk Room’s Pat Garofalo points out, “infrastructure investment creates more than 60,000 jobs for every $1 billion spent, versus just 10,000 jobs for every billion spent on a corporate tax cut.”
The only thing the mall needs is some new sod and a few public restrooms. They were talking about doing a complete overhaul and putting in all these facilities. That’s all unnecessary. Just new grass and new toilets and leave it at that.
January 27th, 2009 at 1:22 pmBut that someone would probably live in D.C. and so if your Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) that someone probably doesn’t exist…
now if we were talking about re-seeding golf courses in Calif.’s 22nd- well then everyone would benefit, from the Gardener hired to do the work on up to the Rep. and his buddies who torment said Gardener on the driving range…
January 27th, 2009 at 1:22 pmThe keyword is keep it in their pockets
That’s what business owners will do in tough times, because they would want to hold on to their money, and wait out the recession.
January 27th, 2009 at 1:22 pm“O’Donnell calls out Rep. McCarthy on his bogus economic talking points
And then she quickly realized that she is a corporate hack and went back to repeating said Repuppetcan talking points later on in the day.

I’m confused. If repubs are supposed to be the party of fiscal responsibility, of law and order, of strong national defense, of moral and philosophical opposition of communism/socialism, why, when they held both houses and the White House did they borrow a trillion dollars from a The Peoples Republic of China, a communist/socialist country to wage an illegal war that has made us less safe?
January 27th, 2009 at 1:28 pmIt takes workers to grow the sod, and to put it down. Ditto with rehabbing buildings. Someone manufactures materials, someone installs it, etc. etc. Their argument is illogical. They didn’t come up with any ideas, did they? Just pass the thing, here in middle America folks are hurting.

This mall thing, they’re talking about 0.03% of the overall stimulus bill.
They just want to give all the money to rich people so the rich people will give us jobs.
January 27th, 2009 at 1:33 pmBush gave Billions in tax cuts for the last seven years. What has it produced????
More money for the rich to invest in bad commercial paper then seek government intervention for helping making sure the banks don’t go under. Is this the Tax cuts the repugs are talking about?????
It hasn’t worked !!!! Time for new ideas Repugs that is why we elected Mr. Obama. GET IT!!!
January 27th, 2009 at 1:34 pmThis was just a blip for Noron O’Donnell. She’ll get over it.
January 27th, 2009 at 1:34 pmGive the rich a tax break and they will save the money until the time is just right, say… just after a working class family loses the house in bankruptcy, then swoop up and pick up the house for pennies on the dollar.
It’s to their benefit to have these deals on the market.
January 27th, 2009 at 1:34 pmAnd they did SUCH a fantastic job this past few years that we should listen to their crap?
What gets me isn’t the stupidity of their ideas – they always have stupid ideas – but that they think people won’t notice the obvious: they had their chance, it didn’t work.
January 27th, 2009 at 1:36 pmOn another blog, someone said that she got smacked down by Boxer about the contraception issue. I don’t know if that happened before or after this interview.
January 27th, 2009 at 1:37 pmi still don’t get it: are they telling me that creating jobs is a BAD thing? wow they are going to have hard time explaining their reasoning for this to their constituents… there’s really no way to spin “we wanted to make obama look bad.”
January 27th, 2009 at 1:39 pmRepublicans gave 350 billion plus to Wall Street without blinking an eye as kick backs were given for the vote. Now the RNC is low on campaign money so their bringing back wing nut racist Sarah Palin. John Boehner from Ohio is telling all Republicans to vote against the bailout for the taxpayers and he feels his State of Ohio isn’t that bad. Republicans have to join together and get money back to the Rich Donors who have given them money for the pass 8 years. Eric Cantor got his 40,000 dollars for his vote on the Wall Street Bailout and now is looking for more. Two States in the worse shape are Ohio/Michigan yet Republicans representing those States don’t think they need help from the President. Rush told the truth when he said it’s all about Obama failing and no one cares about the suffering of the American people.

January 27th, 2009 at 1:43 pmThe fact that the Right has to pick out these trivialities suggests just how weak it truly is. They can’t take issue with the substance of the program, and they certainly are unable to engage the major portions of it, so they find these irrelevancies and parade them around as if they’re important.
In a way I feel sorry for them; even in the depths of my Bush era despair I never thought progressives were irrelevant. These characters seem to recognize that they, in fact, are irrelevant.
January 27th, 2009 at 1:43 pmREP. MCARTHY: Refurbishing a building, putting new grass down in a mall. That doesn’t create buildings. That doesn’t creates jobs.

We await your brilliant argument on how corporate tax cuts create more jobs than infrastructure spending. Bigger profits, yes. Jobs, not so much.

You bet. However, it’s recently occurred to me that even if it took a while for the stimulus effects to impact the economy, that itself would bring an immediate impact in terms of consumer confidence. Knowing that there are more effects next year and the year after that, etc. would boost confidence in the stock market as well. Sometimes it’s not a bad thing not to blow your wad all at once.
However, the complaint that the stimulus bill will take a long time to have an impact (based on a lie about what the CBO says) has already been debunked in the next story down. The CBO expects 65% of the stimulus to affect the economy directly within the next 2 years.
Thanks for asking.
.
Tracy__5 Says:
BTW how long did the Great Depression last?
Right up until somebody actually passed a spending program large enough to affect it. Up until then their efforts were hampered by economic conservatives.
January 27th, 2009 at 1:51 pmNo, you don’t understand, it’s irrelevant because huge tax cuts for the rich that the republicans want aint going to happen……that kind of irrelevant.
January 27th, 2009 at 1:52 pmI got it, Zooey.
January 27th, 2009 at 1:52 pmA question for the trolls…if it took 8 years to get us into this mess, why do you think it can be undone in two weeks?

January 27th, 2009 at 1:55 pmThe jobs created by corporate tax cuts last only as long as it takes the corporation to figure out how to ship those jobs to China?
How many years is that?
January 27th, 2009 at 1:55 pmDid that happen today? O’Donnell actually challenged a repug yesterday.
January 27th, 2009 at 1:55 pmShe has always been in the tank for Bush&Co, but if she continues to challenge stupid repugs, I may re-evaluate.
Then again, she may be like Chris Matthews – one who runs hot and cold, from day to day.
BTW how long did the Great Depression last?
The stock market did not recover to the heights it occupied in 1929 until 1954.
It lasted decades longer than it needed to because Roosevelt backed away from substantial (peace-time) Keynsian injections of government spending, and Truman abandoned it after the War.
January 27th, 2009 at 1:57 pmI am so sick of repugs — they contributed mightily to the crisis of the day and yet they stand there, all sanctimonious in their criticism of Obama’s plan to begin to repair their damage.
They claim they want to work with him — but they won’t work with Democrats.
How does that work?
They do NOT want Obama to succeed.

I agree with you that the banks, and greedy investors were betting on always increasing home prices, and I was being a little facetious. On the other hand, I do believe there is a lot of capital sitting on the sidelines waiting for the right moment, when they feel that the home prices are at their lowest, the bottom feeders.
It’s all cyclic isn’t it? When this bust turns around there will be some real winners who picked up properties for a fraction of their value, who win because someone else lost.

January 27th, 2009 at 2:42 pmOk, well, since it’s apparently not going to get released from Moderator limbo, here’s my original post, minus the oh-so savage use of vaguely offensive potty-humor:
Just watched the House Repubs presser after their little head-to-head meeting with the President on the stimulus package. Until Mike “Baghdad’s as safe as Indiana” Pence got up to the mic, they were saying the right things (Pence couldn’t resist taking the national spotlight and using it to engage in partisan sniping at House Dems), but they really should be more conscious of their visuals. Min. Whip Eric Cantor probably shouldn’t be allowed to stand directly behind the current speaker if he can’t keep from openly sneering every time one of his colleagues (or himself, for that matter) mentions bi-partisanship.
What a smug, partisan [moron]

January 27th, 2009 at 2:51 pmConsistently, those in lower incomes will (or should I say must) spend a higher proportion of their money. Consequently, $10 given to a poor person will circulate almost immediately (often to a small local business who will likewise be likely to quickly spend it).
Give $10 to someone making more than $100k and they are much more likely to hold onto the money. When they do spend it, they are much less likely to spend it on something that will lead to American jobs (see Citigroup buying a French luxury Jet).
In short, if you want to increase the economy, give the money to the people on the low end of the economy.
January 27th, 2009 at 2:52 pmOk, it’s official, TP is way too hung up on the respectability and civility thing. I mean, d0uche-bag is an instant-ban word? WTF? Why, because it’s a hygiene product? Are the body parts with which it is associated too dirty? What about enemas, or catheters, or colostomy bags? Isn’t this, when it comes right down to it, just another sexist double standard?
January 27th, 2009 at 2:53 pmEither that or you might want to consider expressing yourself without pejoratives. Just a thought.
January 27th, 2009 at 2:58 pmjust 10,000 jobs for every billion spent on a corporate tax cut.”
This is also BS…if people can’t afford to buy anything then do you really think that corporations are going to hire people…not on your life. They will lay people off and keep the money for their CEO’s.
America might be at 25% unemployment in 6 years with this sort of thinking.
And by the way, only 20% of corporations pay any tax at all.
January 27th, 2009 at 3:01 pmWhy should the dems even negotiate with the goppers on tax cuts? We need to put the proper stimulus bill together, with the least tax cuts, and I am sure it will pass… as what gopper Senator could face his state, a state going through hard times, if he/she voted against it?
January 27th, 2009 at 3:02 pmTracy, the idea that these jobs will take years to get started is a dishonest Republican talking point. There are thousands of “shovel ready” infrastuture jobs around the country just waiting for funding.
As someone who is supposedly involved in construction, I would think you would know that.
January 27th, 2009 at 3:05 pmTracy__5 Says:
Long term infrastructure spending creates jobs but we don’t have years to wait for these projects to produce jobs.

January 27th, 2009 at 3:06 pmHoodathunk Says:
Either that or you might want to consider expressing yourself without pejoratives. Just a thought.
A fair point. On the other hand, anything I have to say about Rep. Cantor is going to be pejorative in the sense that I have nothing but contempt for him, his policies and his smug little sneers. You show me a nice, polite way of saying that, and I’ll point out that it doesn’t come close to expressing my opinion of the man (and I use that term loosely). “Pejorative” simply means using a word in a manner intended to deride or ridicule someone.
Now, if you meant “obscenity” rather than “pejorative” then we’re actually back to my point–I find nothing obscene about feminine-hygiene-product-related remarks, and I actually do take offense at the implied notion that there is something inherently “dirty” or “offensive” about using the aforementioned term in its modern, slang sense of a “self-important moron,” which was clearly my intent.
January 27th, 2009 at 3:11 pmLet’s see, current Repug theory says when the rich have money there are lots of jobs available in the country. For the past 8 years this has been the case, at least as far as the part about handing money to business.
By this theory, we should be booming with lots of jobs available.
I am sooooo glad this theory is real. (snark off)

My point is, that there is something inherently sexist in this particular guideline which they’ve established and that therefore it is hypocritical in the context of an organization and a website which have such a clear record of combating sexism and decrying censorship–two facts for which I usually praise them.
Long story short, I am not a fan of sexism, hypocrisy and censorship, no matter who is doing it.

January 27th, 2009 at 3:27 pmOk, let’s put it into another context and see how much water your logic holds, Hoodathunk.
You walk into a house to hear the owner speak. He delivers an impassioned appeal for human rights and the basic dignity of his “fellow man” and then, afterwords, invites his guests to join him in the parlor for a discussion of his remarks, during which he claps his hands and servants come hurrying forward, eyes-downcast to serve refreshments. When you attempt to confront him about this apparent hypocrisy, he declares that you have violated his hospitality and has you unceremoniously removed from the premises.
Now, who did the right thing here? Should you, in such a case, be silently complicit in hypocrisy out of common courtesy?
Then why should you expect such behavior here on the ‘net?

January 27th, 2009 at 4:25 pmFor a supposed architect, you sure don’t know much about construction.
Build Now-NY
New York Sites Are
Ready for BusinessWelcome to the Shovel Ready website! Here you will find information about the premier designation available through New York State’s innovative “pre-permitting” program.
Having an economic development site certified as a “Shovel Ready Site” means that the local developer has worked proactively with the State to address all major permitting issues, prior to a business expressing interest in the location. This advance work creates a site where construction can begin rapidly, once a prospective business decides to develop a facility there. By reducing the time it takes a company to begin construction of a new facility, New York State and its local partners are able to provide valuable savings to the business and job opportunities for local residents.
