Republicans said if they took control of the House of Representatives they would start creating jobs. This is a list of some of the things they've done, instead of creating jobs.
# 1 Symbolically read the constitution, skipped parts of it, and also read part of the Declaration of Independence, while still claiming to be reading the constitution.
# 2 Congressman swore themselves in by watching the swearing-in ceremony on TV, without actually attending. They later had to be sworn in again, and 2 of their votes were deemed invalid since they had not been properly sworn in.
# 3 “Symbolically” voted to repeal the health care bill. Spent hours debating it beforehand, even though they knew it was purely symbolic and would not become law.
# 4 Attempting to de-fund Global Warming research.
# 5 Attempting to defund health care, which is also mostly symbolic.
# 6 Proposed a budget that would cut billions of dollars in aid to the poor, the homeless, and women and children.
# 7 Extended the Patriot Act.
# 8 Attempted to cut all funding for Planned Parenthood and PBS.
# 9 Attempted to redefine rape to no longer include statutory rape, incest rape, or drugged rape.
# 10.Cut Pell Grants
And the list goes on:
