Republicans: We're Gonna Do Something [After We Defeat Obama]!

                     

If you think that sabotaging the economy was the plan of President Barack Obama, you're a stupid person!


Republicans and their allies in the conservative movement are focused solely on trying to defeat the president and those who support him.


They're so focused on trying to pass these ridiculous domestic austerity cuts to social safety nets that could help the middle class.


According to the Dayton Daily News, many lawmakers measure progress in repealing or rolling back existing laws.

Last July, the House voted to roll back key provisions of the Clean Water Act.

In February, it voted to roll back two Department of Education regulations, including guidelines state officials are required to follow when operating a school.

And in May, the House voted to undo the same sweeping mandatory Defense cuts that it agreed to accept during last year’s Budget Control Act.

That doesn’t include various attempts to undo the 2010 health care law, which was enacted under the Democratic-majority Congress.

Congress is already on track to pass fewer laws than any previous Congress in at least 40 years. To date, this Congress has passed 123 public laws with just six months left in the legislative calendar.

During the last Congress, which lasted from 2009 to 2010, 383 laws were passed. In the one before that, it was 460. No Congress in recent memory has come close to the slow pace of lawmaking exhibited by the current group of lawmakers.

There are reasons, observers say, including the two political parties’ inability to get along. But some of the inactivity speaks to a changing philosophy among many in Congress. Making law is no longer a priority.

The president made a comment about the private sector doing fine, and Republicans pounced on it.


Republican candidate Mitt Romney has went forth to push the notion that there's no need for firefighters, police officers and teachers. The Republicans agree with this notion.


Romney criticized the president by saying: “His answer for economic vitality…was, of course, pushing aside the private sector, which he said is doing fine.  Instead, he wants to add more to government!”


“He says we need more firemen, more policemen, more teachers. Did he not get the message in Wisconsin? The American people did. It’s time for us to cut back on government and help the American people.”


President Barack Obama must go after the Republicans. They're screwing up the country in the name of these ridiculous culture wars.
