Dem Rep. Jan Schakowsky, Former Obama Czar Van Jones And MoveOn.Org Publish Liberal Manifesto Calling For Massive Spending And Tax Hikes To Save The “American Dream”…
European-style socialism rebranded as the “American Dream.”
(The Hill) — Liberal organizations and unions are frustrated that President Obama has not aggressively pushed a new jobs stimulus agenda and they are offering up a consolidated fall agenda for Democrats to embrace as an alternative to austerity.
Representatives of MoveOn, Rebuild the Dream and the Center for Economic Policy and Research will join Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.) on Tuesday to launch a progressive “Contract for the American Dream” to urge the administration and Congress to turn away from budget cutting and focus on job creation.
The Contract is a mix of proposals that could make their way into a fall jobs compromise with Republicans and more far reaching goals such as universal government run healthcare for all that are far less likely to be enacted.
In 10 bullet points, the Contract calls for massive new spending and taxes.
At the top of the list are items President Obama has been calling for: investing in infrastructure, clean energy strengthening public education. These “winning the future” items were included in Obama’s 2012 budget, which was rejected unanimously in the Senate which had become focused on budget cutting by late spring.
The Hill doesn’t mention his name but Van Jones is the driving force behind the “Contract for the American Dream.”

“….the Contract calls for massive new spending and taxes.”
Well, of course! Will they never learn? This is maddening. S&P, time for round 2.
COMMUNIST PIECE OF SHIT… Needs a double tap in the forehead.
On a better note and odd topic… Florida is now making welfare peeps drug test for our money…. Come on the rest of our 56 states you can do it too.
Well maybe not California or New York but the rest of us….
Shit… hit comment before posting link.

More like the ““Contract on the American Dream.”
“American Dream”
———
Who’s dream? (Utopia?)
.
I just got off of the phone with the author Erik Wasson , he told me that they didn’t include Van Jones name in the article due to space restrictions . No I’m not making this up . I lost it on him and told him this is like putting a birth announcement in the newspaper and not including the parents of the baby .
“Contract for the American Dream” to urge the administration and Congress to turn away from budget cutting and focus on job creation.”
Yep, budget cutting never created the first job, did it Vain? Only the government can create jobs, right? And that’s because the government has money to burn, doesn’t it?
Economics 101 -
Principle #1 – the government makes no product. Bullshit and regulations are not products. And that goes for government services as well.
Principle #2 – the government has neither the intelligence nor the ability to pour piss out of a boot. This action would required a sub-committee to conduct interviews with CEOs of shoe manufacturers and top Urologist from around the nation. End result; millions just pissed away and the urine would still be in the boot.
Principle #3 – The government couldn’t run any business at all. Evidence; a whore house in Nevada which was foreclosed on by the IRS who then took the operation/ownership and ran it completely out of business. End result, the government cannot help but fuck up a sure thing.
Do you want me to go on? I’ve got million, no trillions of reasons why the government can neither create nor foster job creation. They are simply too fucking stupid!
“Massive Spending And Tax Hikes To Save The “American Dream”…”
No, Van, that’s the American nightmare, and we’re living it right now.
whthfk, I saw a woman being interviewed about the drug testing, she was PISSED, she said she couldn’t afford to pay for the test out of the “little bit of money they give me”.
No shit, she’s pissed that she will have to spend taxpayer money to drug test!
BTW, if they pass the test, the money is reimbursed to the account, so I guess she was pretty sure she wasn’t going to pass.
socialism illustrated

I think they meant, The Contract to Destroy the American Dream.
It is quite clear that there is a robust segment of leftists that have no clue what the American Dream currently is and always has been.
I always marvel at how Schakowky’s Convicted felon of a husband Robert Creamer avoids being mentioned in these articles.
The man invented the whole narrative about the need for a Health Care Crisis to get a national health plan passed.
Guaranteed he’s a motivating factor behind this latest example of Progressive Group Think… “Oh there so forward thinking”

“they’re’”
Commieageddon Mo money for the Revoltution.
“In a separate release he called for expanding AmeriCorps and creating new direct work programs he calls Urban Corps, Green Corps and Service Corps”
How about stirring up some good old fashion COMMUNISM inspired union run programs to fix our problems.
Mmmmmm. Good. That’s the liberals recipe for success everytime.
$$$$$$$ + The Communist Party of America + The Democratic Socialist Party= JOBS
Time to eat our just rewards.
Van, pls crawl back into that obscure crevice, your 15 minute ticket has been punched.
We can all resume chasing the American Dream when these Communist a******s are deported. What does a Communist know of the American Dream other than to exploit it to further his ambitions of power?
who really cares what this narcissist moron says. He is a blowhard gasbag who is using up his 15 minutes of fame rather quickly. He is an ABM who has a massive chip on his shoulder. He ought to move to Liberia and run for president there.

The other thing they are letting people do is ,if they fail the drug test they can have the money put in someone else’s name.. sort of defeats the purpose.
But anything to slow these scums down..
commie rat bastards doing what commie rat bastards do. steal from thoe who have and piss it away till everyone is broke but the ruling class.
Time for baldielocks and MOVEON to move to another continent far far away from our shores

How about the cafeteria the white house had to out source… they couldn’t even run that!
What makes Van Jones qualified to speak about the subject matter at all. What has he ever run? What real job has he ever had? All he’s ever done is go to college and sit on some comity or another. He co founded Color of Change? BFD. What did they ever do?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_of_Change
$200k for those thugs? Van Jones is nothing more than a privileged rabble rouser like Sharpton and his former boss Obama.
I think ole barry is going to get a fairly decent view of what the underside of that bus he keeps throwing folks under, looks like!
But expect these people to admit it theyre fault he’s there and that they as part of a team, assisted in the election of the worse leader in the history of the world….never happen! blame, blame, blame…racists, racists, racists, whine, whine whine, then blame, racists, whine some more…thats all they had and its all theyre even going to have!
