American Deadbeats: How House Republicans Took America Hostage, Then Skipped Town
My Delicious Readers,
I thought it would be rightly appropriate to produce a succinct educational reel without my personal commentary overlaid. I only want to show you the peculiar, unspoken facts. It’s a reel which I’ve personally pieced together to help illustrate how unchecked GOP immaturity is causing irreparable damage to the well-being of the majority of American voters. More specifically, I wanted to help identify exactly how House Republicans have intentionally manipulated a needlessly wasteful government shutdown, which for some odd reason the major news media outlets continue to overlook.
Enjoy. God bless. We’ll get through this. We just have to vote out of office several GOP buffoons who are presently collecting undeserved salaries off the taxpayers they’ve unapologetically bamboozled.
“We’re Approaching the Worst-Case Scenario for House GOP Hostage-Taking”
Perhaps thinking that analogies to hostage-taking were still too loose-fitting, House Republicans appear to be poised to pass debt limit legislation largely unacceptable to the Senate and then skip town immediately after doing so. “We want to make a deal that they can’t refuse, and we’re running out of time,” Rep. John Fleming of Louisiana told Talking Points Memo, suggesting that Democrats will be “more motivated to take this up” with the threat of default hanging over their heads. Making a deal your opponents can’t refuse is pretty on the nose, analogy-wise, but it shouldn’t obscure what’s really happening. After two weeks of inactivity, the nebulous House Republican strategymay be to pass the same proposals rejected on September 30 and then to leave Washington, leaving the Senate and President Obama with one choice: capitulation or default.
What the House will do today or this week isn’t clear. Time is running out to address the more pressing concern, an increase to the debt limit that would allow the Treasury Department to pay the nation’s obligations and prevent the massive economic disruption that would follow from a government default. Passing (non-unanimous) bills is slow. To ensure creditors and beneficiary recipients get paid, there is no reason to delay the process of passing this critically important one.
