One story that has flown under the radar during this crazy Debt Ceiling debate is the partial shutdown of the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration).One of the sticking points is that the House measure includes provisions that would make it harder for airline and railroad employees to unionize.Once again Republicans prove that they don't give a **** about creating jobs or lowering the deficit.I'm sure they'll enjoy their August recess, while the people who have lost their jobs suffer.The party of Lincoln is now destroying 4000+ jobs in the industry when they promised to create them.Those cuts they fought for? All job destroyers.The revenue they fought against? Destroys jobs. No revenue, employees lose their jobs, and hiring freezes continue.Everything the republicans do is destroying jobs.Here in Florida, gov. Rick Scott is destroying thousands of jobs.The workers at the prison in the Glades are going to all be layed off because of Scott. That area has a 40% unemployment rate, and the prison employs nearly all of who's left. Imagine the result.Even the workers at the unemployment agencies are being layed off, while the whole system goes completely internet. It's the same story in almost every industry.Repubs hate workers. I hope the workers wake up.
