GOP has chance to do more damage

I just want to congratulate those who voted to put back the politicians that created the recession in the first place. They were unhappy that the president didn't create more jobs. He tried, but the Republicans in the Senate thwarted him.

Besides, there is no way any president can return the outsourced jobs. Even your toothpaste has been outsourced. Look at the package. It says “distributed by” which means Colgate, Crest, etc., didn't make it.

The argument that if the people who make over $250,000 lose their tax break job creation will be discouraged sure doesn't hold up when you consider they've had that tax break for 10 years and just outsourced more jobs. They spent many millions on campaigns to convince us that we should support the GOP. They wouldn't have spent it if they weren't sure of a big return.

As far as health care is concerned, they will try to take it away from you, but theirs is a tax-supported health care plan we can only dream about and they won't be discontinuing it.
