21 ideas to help Tea Partied lawmakers keep their 2010 “job creation” campaign promise!

Job creation was the key Tea Partied Republican campaign rallying cry for the 2010 Midterm Elections.

So...

...why haven’t Tea Partied congressional lawmakers(?) passed one piece of jobs legislation since coming into office in 2010?

Here are 20 job creation ideas to help Tea'd lawmakers(?) keep their 2010 campaign promise.

1. Put more people back to work and put more money in the pockets of working Americans so they can spend that money to boost the economy.
2. Extend unemployment insurance benefits to prevent  5 million Americans looking for work from losing their benefits.
3. Implement  work sharing unemployment insurance for workers whose employers choose work-sharing over layoffs.
4. Conduct assessments to review the longest-term claimants of unemployment insurance in order  to assess their eligibility and help them develop a work-search plan.
5. Provide additional funds that will allow states to introduce new programs aimed at long-term unemployed workers.
6. Enable states to seek waivers from the Secretary of Labor to implement other innovative reforms to connect the long-term unemployed to work opportunities.
7. Institute a tax credit for hiring unemployed veterans who have been looking for a job for more than six months.
8. Institute a project that will put people to work rehabilitating homes, businesses and communities.
9. Create  job opportunities for low-income youth and adults through a fund for successful approaches aimed at subsidized employment.
10. Institute innovative training programs and summer/year-round jobs for youth.
11. Modernize schools from science labs and internet-ready classrooms to renovated facilities
12. Facilitate immediate job creation  investments for highways, transit, rail and aviation.
13. Help modernize an infrastructure that now receives a grade o “D” from the American Society of Civil Engineers, and put hundreds of thousands of construction workers back on the job.
14. Invest  federal  dollars to prevent layoffs of teachers, while supporting the hiring of more teachers.
15. Invest federal dollars aimed at keeping cops and firefighters on the job.
16. Institute a  Bridge to Work  program which will build and improve innovative state programs where those displaced from work  take temporary, voluntary work or pursue on-the-job training.
17. Institute  reemployment assistance programs  aimed at  more rigorous reemployment services for the long-term unemployed.
18. Expand the 2011 payroll tax cut which will cut workers’ payroll taxes in half without negatively impacting the Social Security Trust Fund.
19. Institute administrative, regulatory and legislative measures  to help small firms start and expand.
20. Institute comprehensive patent reform to increase guarantees for bonds in order to help small businesses compete for infrastructure projects.
