Let's face it : this boondoggle was DOA by the Republicans as soon as it was a zygote in somebody's mind.
With their pledge to King Norquist, no republican who drank his Kool Aid would ever vote to do the job that was supposed to be done.

Unreconstructed, you are either willfully or ignorantly misleading other posters.
Five words: Grover Norquist Taxpayer Protection Pledge.
Combine that with conservative voters who will never vote for the other party and – bam – you have probably the main causer of today’s deadlocked Congress.

No one should expect this latest bunch of GOP presidential candidates to do much to help right the economy.
They’re simply too uninformed, too uninterested, and proud of it.

Conservatives? Simply not interested in helping ordinary Americans or America.
Too busy trying to protect the elite 1% with every excuse in the book.
But that’s the conservative way.

Famboy - "I suggest genuine compassion, cooperation, and a desire to build a better future together are necessary steps toward a solution to our problems, "
Agreed. Problem is, even if you spelt that out to Republicans in big letters, they still wouldn’t get it.
Too tightly welded to their elite 1% paymaster sugar daddies.

Sail, good post.
That doesn't mean I agree with all of it though. :-)

Jeremiah - "Not sure if you even live in America or are American, but the Occupy Wall Street protests are getting bigger.
Did Faux News tell you otherwise?

Sailwind - "There are other ways to increase tax revenue rather than raising rates on those who happen to be in the higher income brackets and playing the class warfare bull."
Says someone who is playing the "class warfare bull" himself....
Except the GOP simply isn't interested in that. All they want to do is protect their elite 1% paymasters, and unfortunately, thinking conservatives like Sailwind are buying it, hook, line and sinker.
Rubbish. Obama’s administration wants to invest in rebuilding America’s infrastructure.
The GOP won’t have a bar of it.

SushiSake - "Leadership involves – among other things – working to benefit what you represent."
Sorry, my bad. The GOP ARE representing their corporate paymasters - the elite 1% - very successfully.
Apologies for any misunderstanding.

Jeremiah, you're right - Obama probably will look to Greece - to see what might happen to the U.S. economy if the GOP take power.

Sail, unnecessary sarcasm noted but you joke with this at your own risk.
Leadership involves – among other things – working to benefit what you represent.
The GOP/TP are totally against this concept as you well know.
The GOP/TP have no interest whatsoever in doing anything serious to help the American people or America.
No, the best thing Congress can do in my opinion is – NOTHING.
Then the Bush-era tax cuts will expire as planned.

The key problem with conservatives now is they think they can continue spending without earning a commensurate amount to cover costs.
They've done it before - we saw it when they launched both wars - did bush and co. implement anything at all to raise funds to cover the costs of both wars?
No.
Did conservatives demand it?
No.
Both are complicit, jus like they are compilicit now.
Any sensible mum knows that you have to earn in order to be able to spend.
And it's clear the GOP/TP elites are living in a different world than the rest of us.
Obama 2012.

"Failure looms for U.S. debt talks"
Failure...it's at the core of being a conservative.
Republicans can never find to many ways to screw the middle and bottom class to satisfy their corporate sugar daddy masters.

President Obama creating jobs.
That's sure going to get under the skin of the GOP who have made it a primary focus to block the president from doing so.

WilliB - "The horrible misguided Euro project is pulling them all down. Like a continental suicide pact. It is sad to watch this slow-motion disaster enfolding.... and all of it caused by the Euro political elites and their boundless ignorance and arrogance."
