The Republican Legislature has presented several large Jobs Bills. Seems that democrats for political reasons always get in the way. Time for democrats to actually vote for jobs bills instead of talking about them.

Why do democrats concentrate on their priorities? Hey democrats it is the peoples priorities. That priority is JOBS. The President concentrated for 2 years on his loser of a Health care Plan. People did not want that and still do not.

Could someone explain to me where this bill would create Jobs?

With Cilley do we also get a bedroom tax? LOL

I see that not one poster from the right has addresses the issue of the government getting between a doctor and their patient... or destroying an organization that saves the state money as well as protecting the most needy among us.

Short term thinking, catering to the demands of a few, out-of-state laws written for our legislature by corporations and national organizations... is this any way to run a state?

@Jan Schmidt
The DEMOGRAPHICS are what they are. You would hire this distribution of people in the population if you HIRE PEOPLE.
Since democrats never come up with any legislation that hires people you would not know that

How can the bill be getting in the way or in-between the patient and the doctor, when it has already been said that Medicaid will be involved. Isn't Medicaid a government run health care program between the doctor and the patient? How about corporate medical insurance that decides what they will pay for and what they will not? Is that not obstruction between the patient and the doctor?

We have much larger problems to deal with than a democrat verses republican pissing contest over "ideology" and "philosophy".

If men and women have responsibility and control over their own bodies, then why are they having unprotected sex and using abortion as birth control? Why does the public have to pay for it?

What an embarrassment. Democrats not voting for jobs.

It is troubling that neither Cilley nor Hassan know a thing about job creation. I can understand why naive democrats have no clue, but Candidates for the Governorship. There is no excuse for that.

HB 1642 is about economic development.

I thought Cilley was talking about affordable health care. But all anybody wants to comment on is jobs. That's important, too. But I wonder why we can never have a level headed discussion about health care becoming affordable. It's like nobody has idea one?

Hey democrats, women and minorities want jobs not condoms.

Here's an obvious solution nobody has mentioned. It's always a problem in rural areas to come up with enough jobs for people. In our era you have to go to a major city to find jobs for everybody.

All the way back to our beginnings New England individuals have answered this problem by starting their own small businesses where you are your own boss. Small Business Administration studies show small business owners earn more than even well paid employees. And even though their businesses sometimes fail, the majority are back in a new business within a short period of time.

So instead of waiting on someone else to start a business and make it a success in order to hire you, start your own business. It can be just you working on your own. You will have more fun, work harder, and earn more.

To get jobs, defund Planned Parenthood and ban abortion. That will hopefully lead to more children. Children are not only future consumers, but have a great deal to do with driving the economy. They need food, clothing, shelter and all sorts of consumables. Then the demand for goods and services rises, and here come the jobs. It is really very simple and common sense, something that Democrats don't understand. They only understand selfishness and greed.

Sorry, you're in error. The traditional, morally acceptable family encompasses the adults who raise the children and work the jobs. This has been proven to work well in the past. The increased consumer demand for goods and services leads employers to generate the needed jobs. So simple that blind politicians can't understand it.

Perhaps you need new glasses. Look, the majority of the population is over the hill. We already have a declining population, as does a lot of the rest of the world. We need new humans constantly in the pipeline. Overpopulation is a myth. The entire population of the world could fit into an area the size of Texas. People
have choices already that are moral and healthy and they are called natural family planning, and abstinence. Abortion is murder pure and simple. Abuse of the gift of procreation is immoral and one risks eternal damnation by doing so. Leading the young in the wrong direction is also morally repugnant. In the final analysis, it amounts to pride, selfishness, and greed. I suggest you let God worry about the details and just do as He said "be fruitful and multiply". The economy running well benefits everyone. God sends us many gifted people, people with cures for diseases, ideas for great benefits, and talented leaders (boy, do we need some of those). How many of them have been killed by abortion already? Sounds like you are one of those who bears some responsibility in that area. Not a lot of time left, better get straight!

To the so called "for the people" poster - you are afraid of what? Why do you hide behind an anonymous moniker? You are on this earthly stage only a short time. But what you do here and how you "act" will determine your eternal role. I think you are afraid of the truth, as are many others. My advice is: choose life. You won't go wrong.

Faith is a God-given gift. It is not given to everyone. Apparently you are in the deprived group. Why, I do not know, but I am sad for you. Obama is in your group, invoking the "golden rule" to try and justify deviant behavior. He is not "evolving", but devolving. You have also failed to do very much research on "religion", as is readily evident in your misguided rambling.

Obama a practicing Christian? C'mon now, just how gullible are you? Obama is a liar, except when he didn't know the law and actually admitted on camera that he was indeed born in Kenya - and his wife confirmed it. Now please go away, I have more important things to do.

When Obama was running for president he said, he would not want to punish his daughters with a baby for making a mistake as teenagers. He believes in abortion not biblical values like Christ. Where does Jesus say abortion is a good thing? Babies are a blessing from God, not a punishment. Practicing christians would not abort children as a first option. The Obamas are in a position to help their teenage girls through any problems they will encounter in life. Life is the key for practicing christians, not the Obama ways of confusion!!!

If a youngster has an unwanted pregnancy, it is murder to abort. If the family involved is unable or unwilling to care for the child, there is an adoption option. Personally, I have adopted 4 myself, and they are wonderful. They have been and continue to be blessings for my family. People make mistakes, but there is no valid reason to escalate the mistake to murder, which likely will have negative residual effects down the road. This is known from many studies.
Providing teens with correct information is fine and, indeed, is the responsibility of the parents - not public school systems. Providing them with condoms and drugs to encourage promiscuity is clearly wrong-headed. Directing them to positive role models and avoiding bad influences rampant in movies, tv, and music is very difficult, but is aided by good parental example. When the leader of the country (Obama) displays such ineptitude, lack of character, and poor leadership, he gives bad example to millions and he probably fails to understand that he will be held accountable for it by God. He did take an oath, has broken it, and that is serious stuff.
