So I get this newsletter from Congressman Boner, it's pretty funny. He doesn't offer anything positive, and if you look at the suggestions of the GOP, a lot of them are being adopted. So I am not sure what's got Mr Boner so riled up?
He mentions Ohio's unemployment rate is at 11 percent. Hmm, this really spiked after a creeping rise in 2007/2008. If you look at the last 2 quarters of data from Ohio, they are overall flat. So, um, are things not better than the big spike that peaked in July 2009? It's not getting worse is it?
He also talks about cutting spending, but his guys killed a plan for a commission to look at really doing that. They killed it after sponsoring it, because (they say) it included looking at tax increases. In reality, they just want no progress at all in Congress, for anything.
John: It is blatantly obvious to everyone in the world, except you and the GOP, that we have not been paying ENOUGH taxes to cover our costs (the spending you mostly approved). You are as guilty of 'generational theft" as anyone on the hill. And calling Congress "the hill" has lost it's luster. You have turned it into more of a "hump".
