More obstructionism, fewer rights for us
The obstructionists are on top of their game.
The debt ceiling issue was pressed to zero hour by the Republicans before it was put in the hands of a Super Committee. The Supers will not solve this either; they’ll squabble over Medicare/Medicaid and Social Security because these programs are on the table along with the debt ceiling issue.
In terms of the Jobs Bill ... 63 percent of the people support Obama’s Jobs Bill. In fact, the majority feel it is the No. 1 priority. Shame on every Republican legislator for recently voting against it and not offering any compromise.
Maybe the Republicans can wait until the next election to accomplish their own self-serving political gains, but the unemployed cannot afford one more day.
A couple weeks ago, Obama offered a stripped down version of that jobs bill in hopes it would pass for hiring first responders, police, and teachers. Again every single Republican voted against it.
Where are the logical, common sense Republican voters? Why aren’t they calling their representatives and asking for them to do the right thing?
Look to the governor of Wisconsin to see how the Walker regime is obstructing voter rights. They have passed bills to make it difficult for the elderly and disenfranchised to vote by requiring a voter card, which costs money and limiting polling places and hours. Some states are eliminating early registration and ending early voting done two weeks in advance of election day.
It goes on and on ... more obstruction and rights being taken from the 99 percent — they just don’t care about you. In fact, they’re arrogant about it.
The Occupy people know the score.
