GOP in Congress (FC)

The Economy? Tell the GOP Congress to stop blocking the American Jobs Recovery Act which is fully paid for and would create 2 million jobs (as cited by the CBO), they delayed the Transportation bill, and are blocking the Jobs Act, Construction, Infrastructure, Veterans Jobs bill, Teachers/First Responders, the Farm bill, threatening to use the same obstructionist hostage taking tactics again to send the U.S. over the cliff.
A fair and balanced approach with spending cuts, entitlement reform, and revenue is still needed. However, the Republicans have no interest in a fair and balanced approach as evidence with the following that was offered to them a few weeks ago:Senate Dems $110 billion sequester-reform
Economists agree that the U.S. economy needs stimulus now, not austerity, and that severe spending cuts in the economy, military, layoffs, and other areas will bring on another recession. Take note that during the recessions of the first Bush, Reagan, and G.W. Bush presidencies, the government added (instead of laying off) jobs to cushion the recession. The economy is primarily supported by consumer spending, and you cannot fix the economy and increase employment by cutting spending severely, increasing layoffs, or further weakening the middle class. Just ask the Greeks (recession/default) and Italy (27% unemployment).   Americans, Congress is operating from crisis to crisis to wreck and destroy America. Either they get their failed agenda without a reasonable compromise or they will try to sink this entire country, acting like domestic terrorists.
Americans, it is time for YOU to remind the GOP that you know about and don’t approve of their despicable actions, and vote every last one of these Republicans that don't care for the American people out of office in 2014.

  1. This would have been a great post to embed some links in. Where can I find the CBO? What exactly is the American Jobs Recovery Act? Inquiring minds want links!
