John Boehner is a douche. Being my Rep I have many times tried to attend his open meetings only to find, he is not there at all. Instead one of his staffers stands there looking annoyed and uninterested. The staffer stays about 20 min and then leaves. It's ridiculous that no one in my district can vote this asshat out.

We are reaping what we have sown because not enough Democrats showed up in 2010. Yes, I said it, and I will continue to say it. The GOP doesn't care what the American people think because many of them occupy safe congressional seats and don't have to worry about reelection. Only a few, like McConnell need worry, but my guess is that as long as he continues to do the bidding of his corporate masters and the Tea Party, he'll have less to worry about.

Removing jobs will reduce over all purchase power. The less people have to spend reduces product demand. Reduced demand means less people are required to produce product which will cause higher unemployment. Higher unemployment further reduces demand. Lower demand does not reduce prices as profit margins must be maintained it only increases unemployment. This lessens..........

This is starting to sound a lot like Spain.
