President's Jobs Bill
Again, there should be no surprise that the President's Jobs Bill was greeted with disdain by many members of Congress.
Senate Majority leader McConnell described it as a "re-election speech".
Many Tea Party House members boycotted the speech and refuse to consider the bill or any sort of economic stimulus.
Liberals are disturbed that the President offered up cuts in Medicare and Social Security as a sop to the GOP deficit hawks.
One Republican quite rightly pointed out that we cannot defund Social Security with the payment cuts the President proposes to stimulate consumer spending and corporate investment.
Americans want a President and Congress to fight for them and their best interests. A weak jobs plan and cuts in entitlements are not in their best interests.
There were several very workable proposals which could stimulate job growth and deserve to be passed.
One hopes that part of the bill will be seriously considered.
Congress cannot continue to ignore the growing number of Americans out of work with no future hope of jobs.
Nor can it continue to ignore irate taxpayers.
GOP members appear to believe that thwarting the President will put a Republican in the White House in 2012.
The American people have indicated in every recent poll that at least 82% of them think all members of Congress should be booted out.
Though the President's approval rating is down, he is still liked.
His disloyal oppostion may find they are the ones to be shown the door.
