Seriously, White House
Without taking into account the fact that women hold different jobs, work different periods of time including pregnancy breaks, and tend to work fewer (and less dangerous) hours, the White House is throwing yet another squirrel into the American political picnic basket.
Claiming the tired discredited argument that women only make 77% of what men make, Jay Carney faced down the ever persistent Jonathan Karl the other day in an attempt to explain why the White House really truly doesn't pay its female employees as much as its males.
Guy Benson writes about this over at Town Hall, quoted here:
(4) As Katie mentioned yesterday, the hypocrisy in all of this is galling. The Obama White House pays female staffers $11,000 less per year, on average, than their male counterparts. The average pay gap among Senate Democrats' male and female staffers is $6,500 per year. And one of the 'equal pay' cult's most fanatical backers, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, pays her female staff members nearly $27,000 less on average per annum, compared to men. Are these Democrats guilty of rank, anti-women bigotry, or do seniority and other factors explain these disparities? Care to explain this head-scratcher, Nancy? Nah:You can see Jay Carney's duh! pandering here:
Ben Carson's right. Conservatives and even the so-called Republicans need to stay focused and resist the urge to follow the repeated squirrel claims.
Leftists are comfortable lying to get what they want; not so, conservatives.
Carson (for President):
Conservatives shouldn’t emulate this deception, but they ought to learn to present a united front to harness the power and energy necessary to reverse the downward spiral of the greatest nation in the history of the world.The 77% claim is a lie, just as Obamacare is a lie. They're comfortable with lies, in addition to being control freaks.
We must look at the big picture and concentrate our efforts on establishing responsible national fiscal policies, fair taxation, responsible energy and environmental policies, and empowerment through education. Many social issues can be dealt with in time, as can entitlement reform. To worry about these issues before addressing the failing economy is a mistake.
Resist the Borg!
