GOP = The Hell With Hardworking Regular Americans
The GOP, the Grand Obstructionist Party, is the party of corporations, Wall Street and the super rich. If any more proof was needed, go and read Jonathan Tasini at Working Life.
"Look no further for evidence that Congressional Republicans will be buried in 2008 then (sic) the vote yesterday to extend unemployment benefits. Republicans are threatening to block the bill in the Senate and/or President 28 Percent is promising to veto the bill. Please do--and stand back to usher in a filibuster-proof Democratic Senate and a huge new Democratic majority in the House. Here's why.
"The cost of this bill is $10 billion--OVER 10 YEARS. That's right--the bill that would extend unemployment benefits across the country by 13 weeks on top of the existing 26 weeks costs just $10 billion over a decade. In states harder hit by unemployment, the extension benefits would be paid out for a full year.
"A Republican Party that:
Will not spend $1 billion a year (basically, a rounding error in a multi-trillion budget) to help the hardest hit Americans who are paying over $4 a gallon for gas.
Will not consider taxing oil companies that have reaped tens of billions of dollars in profits in the past couple of years (Exxon’s $40.6 billion profit in 2007 is roughly equal to receiving "$30 for every person in China and $132 for every U.S. resident.").
Will continue to support spending $341 million PER DAY for the Iraq war/occupation."
Republicans always flip the finger at and say to hell with hardworking regular Americans. Remember that in November.
