GOP - a study in government failure

[Guns Guns Guns]

People who are lucky enough to have jobs could still see a cut in their paychecks next month unless Congress votes to extend a payroll tax cut.


The cut is due to expire at the end of December, and twice this week the Senate rejected measures that would have preserved the tax cut or even increased it. President Obama wants lawmakers to keep trying even if they have to work through Christmas.


There was a Democratic bill which would extended and actually expanded the payroll tax cut, and it would have done it by raising taxes on income over a million dollars a year. That failed because they did get any Republican support so they couldn't clear a filibuster.

As if that doesn't suck enough, Bernake might "ease" the money again too.

Republicans in Congress and all the Republican presidential hopefuls are blaming the president for the failure of the super committee to provide a solution to our debt and spending problems. They say that the debt reduction effort failure is the result of the president's inaction and failure to lead.


I thought that it was Congress's job to write and pass legislation and send it to the president for signature or veto. The president didn't fail to solve our debt and spending problems, Congress did, specifically the Republicans.


Major news sources have run polls showing that 65 percent of Americans want some kind of tax increase on the wealthiest in our nation as a part the debt solution. A great many of the wealthiest in our country agree and support increased taxes.


The 15 percent of Americans who identify themselves as Tea Party members do not. That 15 percent controls the Republican Party and is responsible for the mess we are in, not the president.


American voters should remember this ...

During the last election cycle the Republican party again ran on the same old platform.


Less government, lower taxes (for the top 1%), less spending and the claim that only they can ‘create jobs’.


What has the GOP spent its time on since taking over the house in November 2010?


Well, let’s see. Speaker John Boehner thrilled house Republicans by bringing Styrofoam back to the Congressional cafeteria and eliminated the use of the bio-degradable products that were in place before.


Oh, and they spent $1.1 million dollars and an entire week taking turns reading the Constitution aloud.


They’ve been planning a war on the elderly and neediest in our society to pay for the breaks given to the banks, Wall Street and corporate America.


They’ve held numerous press conferences repeatedly telling Americans they are going to have to give up Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid benefits because the debt (that the GOP helped create) is too high.


Meanwhile there’s always talk of more wars, meaning more money for the billionaires and corporations that have been profiting from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.


Republicans are forcing 98% of Americans to give up services their tax dollars paid for, but they are not asking the wealthy or corporations to make any sacrifices whatsoever.
