blue bits. red rocks.
Saturday 31 December 2011

When the GOP took the House they promised to focus on jobs and the American economy. Over the last year, they’ve taken a hard-line on multiple issues none of the issues were going to help the job market or the average American worker. Back in April the GOP was going to shut down the government by slashing hundreds of billions of dollars for domestic programs. That didn’t work so good. Then, in August, we had the debt ceiling debate where, once again, the GOP was prepared to shut down the government if they didn’t get what they wanted. There is no compromise. It was their way or shut down the government. Then, the rumor this, disaster relief. Eric Cantor and the rest of the GOP hardliners insisted on having offsets in order to release disaster funds. Of course, they only wanted to cut domestic programs and wouldn’t agree to or even talk about cutting military programs are raising money by taxing the wealthy. That also did work out for the GOP. Then, just last month, the super committee was supposed to come up with super tax cuts and Republicans on the committee stood for men there opposition to raise any revenue. Basically, the committee did nothing. Finally, the GOP decided that they were going to stand up against renewing the payroll tax cut. This is a tax cut which is held average Americans. This is $1000 directly into the pocket of everyday working Americans and for some inexplicable reason the GOP opposed it. I shudder to think what the Republican-led House is planning for 2012.
