Republican Policies Seem To Be filled With Fits Of Anger
The midterm elections are behind us, but the bickering over whose political bat and ball are the best still rages on between Republicans and Democrats. Instead of hunkering down and getting into the real issues that will impact the future of the nation, Republicans are choosing to use their new found power to annoy the President over the next two years. The adolescent ploys being used would make any school boy bully proud. Cutting funding for Air Force One is just one tactic in the Republican treasure chest of ignorant priorities.
The Washington Post reports that cutting the president’s wings is just a start. Rep. Paul C. Broun (R-Ga.) wants Boehner to delete the president’s name from the next State of the Union address invitation list.
Other conservatives want to censure the president or sue the administration over immigration issues. Rep. Tim Huelskamp (R-Kan.) said. “Congress took a 19 percent cut on its budgets — we should do the same for the White House.” On the State of the Union, he added: “In the spirit of George Washington, he could send it to us in writing. It’d save some time.”
So once again, the public is left holding their politicians suit jackets as elected officials put on their childish gloves and fight over who can look the dumbest in front of a world audience. It’s a close race, but one they both feel they need to win.
