My Weekly Obama Jobs Report, the tax breaks for hiring veterans edition

It seems only fitting, this being Veterans Day, that the Senate has enacted a tax break for hiring veterans. Anything that can make a returning service member's transition back to civilian life just a little bit easier is A-OK in my book. C'mon John Boehner, get this one passed in the House. It's the right thing to do, even if it was Obama's idea.

Not that anything else Obama is doing is on the up and up. His latest ploy? Having his henchmen on the NLRB put the "fun" into Funemployment.

Jillian's not laughing about that. And neither should we. It's disgraceful, but pretty much what we've come to expect from the Obamunists. I'll bet that starving families are a real hoot over at the Department of Agriculture too.

But wait, there's more. When Lafe Solomon isn't auditioning for a gig on Saturday Night Live, he'll be a one man NLRB dictatorship. There are two vacant seats, and the lone Republican is fed up with the agency's anti-business activism. If Brian Hayes resigns in disgust the NLRB won't have a quorum, and thus couldn't conduct business.

So what does Obama do about that? Does he appoint someone to the two vacant seats? Hell no! He annoints Lafe Solomon with "full authority over court litigation matters that otherwise would require Board authorization and full authority to certify the results of any secret ballot election conducted under the National Emergency provisions of the Labor Management Relations Act."

That's not a Czar; that's a dictator.

Checks and Balances? Not in this administration!

I already mentioned it this week, but it's worth repeating. If Barry hadn't sold out to the econuts we could be ramping for 20,000 new jobs building the Keystone XL pipeline. Instead those jobs, if they materialize at all, will probably go to Canada.

Canadian government officials are already planning to help build a competing pipeline from Alberta's oil fields to new West Coast ports near Vancouver. The likely destination point is the port of Kitimat in British Columbia.

Canadians, doing the jobs Obama won't let Americans do!

Oh, you know what else the Senate is tinkering with this week? Internet taxes. Again. This time two Republicans have signed on to the idiocy of taxing the net. Because we're not taxed enough already you know.

Could someone please ask Paul Ryan to whack Mike Enzi and Lamar Alexander with a wet noodle? Thanks.

Finally for today, Obama fund raiser and DNC bundler extraordinaire Jon Corzine's implosion at MF Global laid another egg today. Pink slips went out to all 1,066 of his employees as the court-appointed trustee moved to liquidate the firm.

Guess that's one more chunk of the 1% who won't be voting to re-elect President Goldman Sachs.
