Yesterday, I took Speaker John Boehner to task for his callous attitude towards those who would lose their government jobs as a result of the budget cuts being pushed by the GOP.

When Boehner was asked about the impact of the Republican sponsored cuts on jobs, the Speaker first attempted to deflect the question by lying about the number of federal employees added since the beginning of the Obama administration. When that didn’t work, he was finally forced to admit that he had no idea how many jobs would be destroyed as a result of his efforts.

In between, he treated us to his suggestion that ‘if some of those jobs are lost in this, so be it.”.
