"The House GOP's rather pitiful jobs manifesto...illustrates, once again, the foolishness of believing that we can reach any real bipartisan agreement on economic policy. The GOP stopped thinking a long time ago; all it knows how to do is parrot Reaganite rhetoric over and over. And there’s so little there there that the document—look at it!—has to rely on extra-large type and lots of pointless pictures to bulk it out even to 10 pages."—Paul Krugman.
In related news, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ealpieceofwork) says "substantial Medicare cuts must be part of a spending and deficit cut package to get his support to raise the debt limit." Or, as Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's spokesperson Jon Summers aptly describes it: "Republicans are holding the United States' credit hostage to ram through their plan to end Medicare."
No jobs, no healthcare, no social safety net...just BOOTSTRAPS FOR EVERYONE!!!
