Maxine Waters Warns 170 MILLION Jobs Could Be Lost Due to Sequestration Cuts — But There’s a Huge Problem With Her Estimate
If Congress allows sequestration cuts to take effect, more than 170 million Americans could lose their jobs, according to Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.).
“If sequestration takes place, that’s going to be a great setback. We don’t need to be having something like sequestration that’s going to cause these job losses — over 170 million jobs that could be lost,” Waters said.
She went on to say cuts must be done “over a long period of time.”
There’s just one problem with her estimation — and it’s a big one. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are only 134 million people working in the United States. So by Waters’ estimation, the sequester cuts would be so apocalyptic that nearly 40 million people who don’t have jobs would become even more unemployed.
Further, the U.S. currently has a population of about 315 million people, according to Census data. If Waters was correct in her assertion, that would mean sequestration would leave more than half the country, 54 percent, unemployed. Talk about a catastrophe.
Luckily for America, the estimate is clearly wrong. TheBlaze could not find any data to suggest that the $85 billion in automatic sequestration cuts duringΒ FY2013 (about 2.4 percent of annual federal budget) would cause 170 million people to lose their jobs. Then again, that’s also impossible because there aren’t that many people working in America. Unfortunately though, once something is said, you can’t take it back.
Keep in mind, Waters is the ranking Democrat on the House Financial Services Committee, which “oversees all components of the nationβs housing and financial services sectors including banking, insurance, real estate, public and assisted housing, and securities.” If Democrats should gain control of the House, she would become the chairwoman.
The Daily Beast’s Megan McArdle puts it this way:
“The best hope is that this is entirely symbolic, and they figure it’s safe to make her the senior member as long as she won’t actually be in charge of anything. Β But having put her in a highly visible slot, it will be very difficult to dislodge her in the event that the Democrats retake the house, and Maxine Waters is expected to actually architect new legislation concerning the financial system. Β And even typing those words strikes terror into my heart.”

FILE – In this May 8, 2012 file photo, Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif. speaks on Capitol Hill in Washington. The substitute ethics panel that investigated Rep. Maxine Waters, a senior Democrat, issued a stinging rebuke of the permanent House Ethics Committee Tuesday with a declaration that its members need to step aside from partisanship when judging member conduct.

β
UPDATE: Eric Orner, Waters’ deputy communications director, told Charles C. W. Cooke in a statement that the 170 million jobs comment was a “slip of the tongue.” He also scolded Cooke for posting the video at all, saying “I think this was below your standards, and I hope you’ll reconsider the post.”
Here it is:
I just noticed a post by National Review On-Line contributor Charles C. W. Cooke about Β House Financial Services Committee Ranking Member Waterβs obvious slip of the tongue (she accidentally said 170 million , when she meant 170 thousand) when referring to the number of Β jobs that may be lost as a result of sequestration.
I think this was below your standards, and hope youβll reconsider the post.

Deputy Communications Director

Representative Maxine Waters, Ranking Member
Cooke’s response on National Review Online? “Never mind. When the very fabric of the republic collapses at 11:59p.m. tomorrow, this will all be rendered moot,” he jokingly wrote.

REEEAALLLYYY Maxi……. In the real world when the money is short cuts happen NOW. Of course government doesn’t have to operate like a business or a family income. They can just tax more and print more money.
Maxine, what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it.

Posted on February 28, 2013 at 5:17pmCan anyone explain how the cutting of the growth of gov’t spending by $85B will results in the kinds of cuts all the leftists are screaming about? How can all those thing cost “only” $85 B ? And if it is in fact true that ALLthose things cost $85B – why do we need to spend TRILLIONS?
This is insane – the way the fed “budgeting” works is – this year I get to spend $100 . Next year I get to spend $125. Sequestration means I only get to spend my original $100 “budgeted” amount next year. How does NOT spending the additonal $25 that would happen via automatic “budget” increases but won’tt increase beacuse of sequestration equal a cut?

Posted on February 28, 2013 at 5:58pmIt is amazing how they can come up with all the lost jobs, hungry children (always) etc. when this is not even cuts; this is simply to stop a pinch, 2% of the spending and all heck breaks loose. If they would play the game fairly, they would cut a bunch of PORK and we’d be no worse for the wear and would have an excess of money in the treasury for the really serious things like hungry children.
Have to admit, most of the people flagging handwritten signs look pretty darn well fed to me. We have quite a few places that give meals at least once a day, some 3x a day, and give then beds to sleep in. Usually good work ethics and attitude will get almost anyone a job, unless they want to be a CEO right out of the box, and that ain’t happening anytime soon. You work up to prove yourself.

Posted on March 1, 2013 at 1:14pmSome one should teach her math. Surely someone in her office can explain to her that we cannot lose more jobs than we have workers. Of course, they covered for her and said that she “misspoke” and that she meant to say 170 thousand. Really? She was told to go out and scare the American people. Come on people, wake up. They’re lying to you.

Posted on March 1, 2013 at 2:04pmRegardless if she misspoke and meant to say 170,000, 17,000, or 170, is completely irrelevant. What IS relevant is that Maxine Waters is a complete idiot. People who voted for this dim wit got what they deserve. We all pay that price. That’s what’s relevant!

At this point in time, after four years of double-speak bs from this administration and the loyal democrats,
…… it is LEGAL TO LIE TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
Wouldn’t expect anything but LIES from this bunch of the democrats and that is from the birth certificate, to his legal name at the moment and ending with two fixed elections.

After speaking publicly about no wanting to play the blame game, he is setting up to do just that.

Wasn’t she featured in the first Dr. Dolittle movie as a native on some floating island and the line she spoke went something like “ungawa” which in her case meant: “The only thing bigger than my a$$ is my mouth even though they smell pretty much the same !” Her brain has been featured in ‘Ripple’s Believe It Or Not’ as one of the worlds known smallest.and is about the size of a miniature lima bean.
