(634 posts)Not sure I agree 100%.
Because I think that the GOP is pleased with their accomplishments during the W.Bush years; They got tax cuts for their owners( the 1% ), they gave gozillions of taxpayer-dollars to God-Only-Knows-Who during the iraq war,and They bankrupt the government so they could justify the fact that they did not meet their financial obligations to the states, which helped put state budgets in the red. In other words, they learned that the way to push their agenda was to destroy the American economy, regardless of who is in the White House.
Think of all the Republican goals that can be achieved by an unsustainable Debt! The destruction of:
Social security
welfare
unemployment insurance
universal healthcare
collective bargaining
tax cuts for the 99%
taxation on the 1% ( and the businesses the run )
regulations on business ( environmental and financial )
the list goes on...........
And guess what? Its working.
the worst part is that they don't need to have the Presidency to do it.Just as long as they have either the House or the Senate.
I think this means that our system is broken......
