Where are the jobs all you Republicans?

Here's what Bob Corker has to say about job creation: screw the jobs, what's important is "price stability." Perhaps he should talk to his friends in the health care industry, since that's where a lot of the inflation for the last thirty years has come from. Not to mention the tech and housing bubbles.

Seems that Republicans could not care less about putting America back to work. All you unemployed and under employed, go get a job that doesn't exist.

Also, Sara Palin accuses the Fed of causing food prices to rise this past year, when food had the lowest rise in price in years:

A broad measure of food prices from the Labor Department shows prices rose at an average annual rate of less than 0.6% in the first nine months of the year. September’s increase in food prices — 1.4% for food and beverages at an annual rate — was low by historical standards.(In fact, the lowest average annual inflation rate on record was 1.4%, in 1992.) Commerce Department inflation data show a similarly slow year-over-year increase for food prices, 1.3%.

Truth is food prices rose dramatically in 2008 when Wall Street fled the housing market and bought into commodities distorting the markets. People even starved because of it.

I truly resent that ignorant woman.
