The Ed Show - Bernie Sanders Gives Republicans an Economic Reality Check
= new reply since forum marked as read
Take the Transportation bill that finally passed the Senate. The bill funds hundreds of on going and shovel ready infrastructure projects relating to transportation, there are literally thousands of jobs at stake. The RepuliCONs put a rider on the bill called The Blunt Amendment the gist of which allowed any employer to refuse to cover any kind of health care service by citing "moral reasons. The amendment had nothing what ever to do with the Transportation bill and was a "grandstanding" ploy by RepubliCONs. They use the dirtiest of tricks (faux procedural filibusters in the Senate) to hang up any Democratic legislation for improving the economy. The RepubliCONs refuse to vote on raising the Debt Ceiling and diminish the nations credit rating and concomitantly crash the stock market. All of this just so they can try and blame it on the President. These RepubliCONs are just plain ranting nuts and care nothing about the welfare of the country, they only care about wielding power and patronage. Get rid of these smarmy (Paul Ryan) grifters and con artists VOTE A STRAIGHT DEMOCRATIC BALLOT in November.
