The Republicans pontificate about creating jobs and then do everything in their power to lay off 700,000 teachers nationwide and probably an equal number of police and fire personnel, plus untold numbers of federal workers.
Why are they doing this? They want to blame the resulting higher unemployment on President Obama so they can defeat him next year. They couldn't care less what happens to the people affected. They couldn't care less that unemployed people don't pay taxes, thus lowering state and national revenues and making our recession worse. They are willing to sink our nation in order to defeat our president.
They claim that our national debt is so high that we cannot afford to pay these people anymore. That is utter nonsense. There are plenty of ways to reduce our debt without causing this nationwide downward spiral.
GOP willing to sink nation to prove point
