The Great GOP Charade: Corporate Welfare In A Job Creation Disguise

[upstatecajun]

In the lead up to the midterm elections of 2010, Republicans repeatedly said if elected, they would fix the economy and get America back to work. Throughout the campaign and after the elections were over, Republicans didn’t reveal how they would fix the economy or create jobs, but the voters gave them the benefit of the doubt and waited to see their strategy and how fast they implemented the plan. It has been three months since Republicans took control of the House and it is becoming painfully clear that they either don’t know how to fix the economy and create jobs, or don’t want to. Either outcome is detrimental to the country.

Republicans in the House have spent their time passing legislation they knew would never reach fruition, but they gave the illusion that they were working to defeat President Obama’s agenda for their conservative and teabag supporters. Their time-wasting exercise of voting to repeal the Affordable Health Care Act excited their people but accomplished little else. They were not serious about repealing the health law any more than they were serious about creating jobs, but they did manage to get through a month without doing a thing. John Boehner made the rounds on talk shows bragging that the Republicans were serious about doing the will of the American people, even though the American people elected them to work with Democrats to fix the economy. It was a waste of time to vote to repeal the health law, because even if President Obama and Senate Democrats agreed to repeal the health law, it would not have created any jobs or helped the economy. It’s obvious that Republicans are not serious about the work they were elected to do, and people should be irate.
