Killing Jobs

Congressman Rehberg is on the front lines when it comes to killing Montana jobs, this time in Billings and Eastern Montana.

And he’s getting another spanking in the Billings Gazette this week for it, because he and other Congressional Republicans, who refused to fund air safety services, are putting Eastern Montana jobs at risk–and have already cost the federal Government more than $200 million in revenue.

This revenue is money that was slated to pay for major airport construction projects like a runway construction project in Billings, which would create more construction jobs.  You don’t have to be a genius to know that a better airport is an incentive to businesses who would relocate to Montana.  Congressman Rehberg, you should listen to the Gazette:

Let’s not sacrifice Glendive’s only airline service in this political fight. Let’s not sacrifice jobs.

    As much as members of Congress travel by air, one would think they would always vote for money for safety and other airport and air travel improvements. Every vote should be 100-0 in the Senate and 435-0 in the House.

    Not if you want to end Goverment and privatize everything. The Kicker on this is an anti-union clause inserted by Congressman Mica of Florida

    Uh huh. Well, as I’ve been saying now for a loooong time, It’s IMPORTANT AND VITAL to know and understand just WHOM you’re dealing with here. All you peace/love lefties better figure it out real soon. We are marching to Latin America! Why the hell do you think that they’ve created private armies?! To keep you safe???? Too funny.

    The rightwing has ALWAYS felt that violence was their province and their province alone. And maybe it is.

    If we lefties want to spend on airports, we’d better get ‘er done pretty quick. I’ve an idea the new Bi-Partisan committee organized by El Negro Izquierdo to get past election day 2012 will be hesitant to cut anything in the Department of Defense–or as I prefer to refer to them–the petroleum protectors!
