Repugicans are bad for business (and everything else for that matter)

Why did Congress waste six months?
Has anyone noticed that Americans with jobs can provide for their families, put money into the economy — and, oh yes, pay taxes that increase revenue and thus cut the deficit? 

The House repugican strategy to link a normally routine increase in the nation's debt limit with a crusade to slash spending has already had a high cost, threatening the nation's credit rating and making the United States look dysfunctional and incompetent to the rest of the world.

But that’s not the most awful thing about it...

repugicans are bad for business
The debt ceiling debate highlights an increasingly evident fact: the repugican party is bad for business.
This, of course, runs contrary to the repugican’s carefully crafted image. But it’s hard to come to any other conclusion after reviewing the party’s actions in congressional economic debates. Time after time, Democrats stepped up to take the tough actions needed to prevent economic collapse while repugicans buried their heads in the sand.



repugicans push the country toward precipice with stance on debt ceiling
Repugican leaders in Congress should take note: The public is unhappy with the way things are going in Washington, and they're certainly not thrilled with the repugicans.

According to a new CBS News poll, 71 percent of people disapprove of the way repugicans in Congress are handling the negotiations over the federal debt ceiling, the amount of money the government can borrow, and just 21 percent of people approve. And only half of those who say they are repugicans approve of their party’s leadership in Congress.
