Thom Hartmann — The Republican Sabotage of America


Thom Hartmann on a tear.
Republicans in Washington and across the nation are so committed to sabotaging President Obama's presidency that they're willing to let people die.

I don't think that Hartmann has this completely correct when he says, "Republicans lawmakers are willing to let people die, just to put a permanent stain on the Obama presidency." The GOP strategists know that Obamacare is the death-knell of the GOP as it has been. There will be no going back, no repeal of entitlements, and no transformation of the welfare state into a market state. This is a do-or-die effort for them before ACA takes hold.

Hartmann adds, "And that's just wrong." Whatever the motive, that's just wrong.

I'm reading that some Republicans will vote against extension of unemployment benefits unless there are fiscal offsets.

It's a grim sort of humor that they may reduce millions to intensifying poverty by refusing to credit a reserve account unless Congress agrees to debit another reserve account, on the grounds that otherwise we'll credit a securities account and the country just can't handle it.
