The Republican line on the wealthy is that they’re not just rich, they are job creators and therefore deserve a break on taxes, the environment, and government regulations. (Think Occupational Health and Safety regulations, OSHA, pollution regulations, air emissions, and labor laws.) Bill Maher has some thoughts that might help put the Republican line in [...]

Republicans Out to Kill the American Dream
Senator Cornyn and his fellow Republicans are out to kill the American Dream for everyone but their rich cronies on Wall Street. While protecting extraordinarily low tax rates for corporations, millionaires and billionaires, they are using budget deficits as an excuse to slash programs like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Some Texas Republicans want the [...]

S&P doesn’t believe Republicans have the will to let Bush Tax Cuts expire.
A very interesting line in S&P’s full report (.pdf) wherein it downgraded the sovereign debt of the US from AAA to AA+. Compared with previous projections, our revised base case scenario now assumes that the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts, due to expire by the end of 2012, remain in place. We have changed our assumption on [...]

Thanks Tea Party Republicans!
It’s time to put the redneck ideology aside and solve America’s debt problem. The Republican attempt to win the Whitehouse in 2012 by destroying the US economy is shameful. Wake up Republicans! It’s time to be statesmen.

Why Senator Cornyn has his head in the sand regarding the need to raise the debt celing!
I’m confident the Senator Cornyn is a smart man, but he appears not to be so truthful nor logical. After voting to raise the debt ceiling by 4 trillion dollars during the Bush administration, Senator Cornyn has now buried his head in the sand, turning his back on the very obligations he voted for in [...]

Why is this too hard for Republicans? Debt ceiling has been raised 10 ten times since 2001; 74 times since 1962
If President Bush was in office, would we be having this fight over the debt ceiling? No, we wouldn’t. This is pure Republican obstructionism. They are putting Party over our Nation. The Republican leadership voted to raise the debt limit by over four trillion dollars during the Bush administration after voting for the Bush tax [...]

Senator Cornyn to Vote for Cap, Cut and Balance – I think he’s gone all Tea Party!
Senator Cornyn is supporting the Tea Party legislation which they proudly call Cap, Cut, and Balance. He’s actually proud of to be supporting this nonsense and has called for Republican support of the bill in a video you can find here. Below you’ll find Senator Reid’s appraisal of the bill. Senator Cornyn has voted to raise the [...]
