Kill Jobs? Kill People?

Republican policies will actually do both. The key is what kind of jobs and what kind of people get killed. If you are a state, local or federal government employee, killing your job doesn't matter to the Republicans. For all the push to reduce the size of government, teachers, firemen and police are government employees, but the death of their jobs doesn't matter to Republicans. If you are elderly or young and can't afford health care, your death doesn't matter to Republicans. This is another example of Republicans co-opting a pejorative term and applying it to things they don't like.
