So I am INCREADIBLY disappointed in the Morning Joe Crew today – I was pleased when I heard Grover Norquist (the guy behind the Republican “no taxes of any kind” pledge) was going to be on today. Until I watched them all coddle him!
Why didn’t they ask him about the American Jobs Act that had passed the Senate but then Filibustered by the MINORITY Republican Party (which they have done MORE THAN ANY OTHER Senate Minority IN HISTORY) and whether he really thinks protecting the MILLIONAIRES from a 5% tax increase is really more important than GETTING PEOPLE BACK TO WORK!
Why didn’t they ask him if he agrees with Republicans who protect Millionaire’s from a slightly higher tax burden – BUT FIGHT AGAINST Payroll Tax cuts that will help WORKING PEOPLE?!
I am so SICK of ALL news organizations coddling people that come on for interviews and not calling them on their BS. Fair and Balanced does NOT mean just taking EVERYONE at their word!
Virtually ALL economists agree that Republican so-called “Real Jobs Plan” will do NOTHING to create Jobs in the short term and the President’s plan WOULD! And making sure people have JOBS is the ONLY way to create DEMAND which businesses ALL agree is what’s needed to get the economy going again. And the MAJORITY of the AMERICAN PEOPLE AGREE TOO! I have heard the Republican Party say the stimulus didn’t work, but the FACTS say otherwise! THE STIMULUS SAVED THE ECONOMY the first time – How is that a failure?
The Republicans have made clear that all they want to do is get Obama out of office, and have shown through their actions that they are ready to take the economy down to do so (why not, they’re all rich, so they and their wealthy contributors will be fine). It’s as if the Republican Party set a house on fire, cut holes in the fire hose and have been working to get the water shut off then complaining that Obama isn’t putting the fire out.
