("Republicans in House Reject Deal Extending Payroll Tax Cut")
In
the immortal words of Yogi Berra, it is deja vu all over again. Once
more we stand on the precipice, as we watch a Republican created
disaster unfold. Soon al-Qaeda will have a higher approval rating than
Congress.
Is this another debt ceiling debacle in which we will be compelled
to listen to an endless supply of right wing fiction before a last
minute 'solution' is imposed? The Republican party can't even agree on
its own supposedly immutable belief in no tax increases, including no
termination of tax cuts. Who knew the Grover Norquist pledge came with
caveats?
And the victims, as always, are those who are most vulnerable among
us. In a time of such constant crisis, when there are so many in such
desperate need, how can the Republicans even contemplate placing them in
greater jeopardy? There is no morality in this game they play. It
diminishes them, and our country.
