TAKING A STAND AGAINST SELF-SERVING POLICE AND FIREFIGHTERS

(From August 5, 2010)


Last week Republicans took a bold stand against those whiny 9/11 First Responders who feel 'entitled' to free healthcare.  How dare those freeloaders expect that they should be put before the profits of foreign corporations?  How un-American can they be?

Today, the patriotic leadership of the GOP is drawing another line in the sand, this time against special interest groups - namely policemen, firefighters, and teachers. 

You see, police and firefighters are 'special interests' according to the rich. In their gated communities the wealthy have private security forces, so why would the rich want to see their money go toward keeping local cops on the streets when they could get that tax money back and invest it in Blackwater's private security subsidiaries?

Orangeman Boehner attacked the issue straight on:

"The American people don't want more Washington 'stimulus' spending - especially in the form of a pay-off to union bosses and liberal special interests."

Damn right Johnny!  If states can't afford to pay their police and firefighting forces, then let 'em eat cake!  USA USA USA

And for the love of god, why would you want to save over 5000 teacher jobs in Ohio, Mr. Boehner?  If you did, then scores of children might grow up and realize how full of shit you've been all these years.

For these special interest groups to ask for hand-outs during a time when the Republican Party is trying to secure tax breaks for the wealthiest 2 percent of the nation shows an unmitigated gall on their part.

Who cares if this bill will save 300,000 jobs held by the middle class?  Who care if there will be no tax increases and that this bill will be fully paid for by spending cuts elsewhere?  Who cares if this bill will reduce the budget by 1.3 BILLION dollars?  This bill doesn't help the rich, so what's the fucking point?
