Can you show where you got this information from please.

How would it cut jobs in Welfare? If anything they should be adding jobs to investigate the people to make sure they need assistance or to help people earn their living.
So you're saying more people in Welfare programs. I thought you were looking for cuts.

Cutting taxes will create jobs, adding more income being taxed. It's actually pretty simple to see how this works.
True cutting taxes will create more jobs because of more spending. So borrow the money.

How would cutting foreign aid make us lose American jobs?
Go read what I said again. SLOWLY. As you clearly didn't understand it.

No idea who or what that is. What I do see is the obvious.

Too many countries have bloated their economies on borrowed money. Even if it's initially spent by Government, what it's spent on goes into the economy. Taxes never covered the borrowed money, that flowed around those countries, and now the debt mountain is becoming the problem.

Cutting taxes means cutting spending (jobs), which means less money in those countries or borrowing more. Or just printing it until a loaf of bread costs $20.

Now if you know how to cat taxes, without cutting jobs or borrowing more. Go to the White House, they have a proper job for you.

If cutting taxes created jobs, there would be very little unemployment. You're thinking is good for the 1960s. Get with the program, it's 2012.

Prove they make a profit.

If they do, I would be the first to say cut the funding.
