Here cometh the CPC {Congressional Progressive Caucus} with an even more socially progressive and fiscally unsound plan than President Obama's for creating jobs.

The Utopian belief that government can {and therefor should} create jobs has always been the delusional belief of the progressives.

It matters not to the CPC and their supporters that history has shown central planning by the government has been nothing but a dismal failure wherever it has been tried.

But let not such considerations stand in the way of the emotionally driven anti business and pro Leviathan mentality.

Here, straight from the pages of that limp liberal rag The Daily Kos, for your reading amusement.

Through the summer, members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus listened to what people had to say about the need for jobs. Now, the CPC has unveiled a jobs creation framework of its own, providing President Obama with a much-needed left flank on jobs:

"We expect [Republicans] to be opposed," [Rep. Keith] Ellison said at a press conference. "But we've got faith in the American people to rise up and demand that Congress pass a jobs bill. So we're fundamentally optimistic, but we're also realistic. ... We do expect the American people are going to bring pressure to bear."

The CPC's Rebuild the American Dream Framework "outlines six areas of focus for immediate and long term job creation: Make it in America Again, Rebuild America, Lead the Green Industrial Revolution, Jobs for the Next Generation, Not Just Jobs—Good Jobs, and Fair Taxes—Shared Sacrifice." These are broad principles, but ones that translate directly to specific proposals:

The framework includes a $227 billion jobs bill sponsored by Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.) that aims to create 2.2 million jobs through funding for school improvement, police and firefighter services, local healthcare providers, the Early Head Start program and park-improvement services.

And of course the CPC plan, in furtherance of the class warfare progressives always fall back on managed to fit it into their plan nicely.

Schakowsky’s proposal would be funded by separate legislation, also sponsored by her, that raises taxes on millionaires and billionaires.

No, it won't pass in this Congress. But it lays the groundwork for better policy and politics, giving voters and constituents another vision for what a responsible jobs policy could look like, demonstrating that as good as many of President Obama's proposals are, they aren't the ceiling on what could be done to benefit America's workers and economy.

For those of us who see government, aka Leviathan, as the larger part of the problem rather than part of the solution this is a call to arms... oops, I mean a call to meet our obligation. The obligation to defend the framework of our Constitution and the limited government it was crafted to insure.

As a reminder. Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry is in fact nothing more than statist of a different color. One who will grow Leviathan in equally as offensive a manner as Obama, and or the CPC.
