The 27 Republican Bills That Aren't About Jobs
From the House Republican Conference and House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) to U.S. Chamber of Commerce President Tom Donahue, congressional Republicans and their conservative allies have touted 27 measures passed by the House of Representatives that they claim are "bipartisan jobs bills awaiting Senate action." But the bills are mostly highly partisan attempts to slash regulations that protect, among other things, public health, consumer rights, workplace safety and the environment. The GOP has also dishonestly included in its count a few viable measures with popular bipartisan support; one of these is being held up in the Senate by a Republican, and the others have been placed on the Senate calendar.
Jobs Idea #1: Hamper The EPA's Ability To Protect Public Health
Jobs Idea #2: Obstruct The Federal Government's Ability To Regulate Anything
Jobs Idea #3: Build An Oil Pipeline And Open Offshore Drilling
Jobs Idea #4: Blame Senate For Holding Up Measures The House Only Passed In Late 2011
Jobs Idea #5: An Expired Bill And A Measure Held Up By A Senate Republican

Five Facts And One Big Lie: A Closer Look At The Oil Lobby's Keystone XL Jobs Claims
With the 2012 presidential election rapidly approaching, the oil lobby is pushing harder than ever to frame the Keystone XL Pipeline (KXL) as a "job creator." However, TransCanada (the Canadian company behind the pipeline), the American Petroleum Institute (API), and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce have used massively inflated statistics. In fact, KXL would create few permanent jobs.
