The wealthy have benefited immensely from all the tax cuts and loopholes under the Bush administration. As Bernie Sanders has said, the big corporations have done phenomenally well while the rest of us have been struggling. These perks for the wealthy have helped to destroy us economically as they've outsourced jobs and off-shored their money for years. The Repubs are only out to make sure that the wealthy never have to contribute to the well-being of this country.

The GOP spend way too much time listening to their corporate puppet masters instead of listening to the people..............they might want to pay attention to the polls instead of FAUX NEWS and ginned up blog stories.................the GOP will get a majority of the blame for the GOP made sequester debacle..........it is about to explode in their face..........they can do all the finger pointing a blaming they want, but it doesn't change how they voted & passed it into law, it doesn't change past public statements on the sequester & the lying & finger pointing hasn't changed the public polls or public views.................FOX NEWS just doesn't work the way it used to...............the social media is much more powerful than FOX.

I have said this before, and will say it again. The GOP would let their own country rot, just to get leverage against the black man that hey could not make a one-term President, and would let the country go to H#$$ just to satisfy their RED-STATE constituents, so that they can be re-elected, next time!

John Boehner & the Radical Republican Party have been out misleading the Public by saying: Spending Cuts, Spending Cuts, Budget Cuts, Stop Spending.....bla, bla, bla while now saying spending cuts will hurt the economy, lead to job losses.......etc.............while also rooting for the sequester while pointing the finger & hoping everyone has amnesia............so which is it are spending cuts good or do they hurt the economy & jobs????????...it can't be both.........

Let us reason together…

The whole idea behind the “sequester”, was that it is SO STUPID, that neither party would allow it to happen.

Americans are once again, forced to watch the Republican Party, in yet another “manufactured disaster“, paving their highway of idiocy, down the road of sequestration.

Republicans are literally busting their asses to prove that there is absolutely NO LIMIT TO THEIR STUPIDITY.

Showing us once again…

You cannot reason with fools.

In my opinion the GOP is basically playing with fire when it comes to rooting for the sequester.............it will expose all their spending cut lies & expose that the government does actually have a positive role in anything to the economy to boarding airplanes to vacationing at national parks.

GOP Trojan Horse attack on the middle class "secret loophole cuts"

Radical Republican secret attack on the middle class is closing the loopholes they won't tell you about.

THE GOP won't identify the loopholes they will close, so the Democratic Leadership needs to Name them for them & call them out on it.............make the GOP defend those cuts to the middle class.

John Boehner has his finger prints all over the sequester:

The SEQUESTER is a direct result of John Boehner's failure to get the votes to avoid going over the so called fiscal cliff to avoid defaulting on our credit by taking the economy hostage through the debt ceiling..............John Boehner and the Republican Party voted to pass the sequester and bragged about it. They got 98% of what they wanted......John Boehner's words.................The reason the Radical Republican Party won't name one single loophole they want to close, is because the only loopholes they are willing to close are the ones the middle class get to deduct at tax time...........

Why the heck did they take a week off with this looming over the heads of the American people?? I tell you if they let this happen and all these kids get denied a Head Start education I am personally declaring WAR on the whole lot of them!! Worthless pigs!

We are now the laughing stock of the world. We have lost control of our own country.

These people are out of control and are going to destroy our economy, our defense, our healthcare, our education, and alot more!

The GOP and Tea Party buffoons are becoming even more unstable! They all need to submit to psychiatric testing to see how far gone they are. If this is the best they have to present to the American people, Heaven help us! It's no wonder they can't get anything done that actually is good for the country! Their brain diseases prevent it. It's time to clean out the House of Representatives and vote in people are aren't mentally incompetent.
