“…the GOP succeeded in passing massive spending reductions as part of a continuing resolution that kept the government operating. According to a new report from the Center for American Progress’ Scott Lilly, those cuts didn’t result in the job creating boon Republicans insisted would follow. Instead, it has done just the opposite, as those cuts will result in the destruction of roughly 370,000 jobs. Lilly’s report focuses on three major areas where Republicans insisted on spending cuts: funding for local law enforcement, environmental cleanup of sites where nuclear weapons were disabled and destroyed, and investments into construction, repair, and maintenance of government buildings. Cuts to just those three areas will result in the loss of 90,000 jobs, the report found — 60,000 from direct cuts, and 30,000 additional jobs lost from the secondary impacts of job losses in each community.” — REPORT: House GOP’s ‘Job Creating’ Spending Cuts Destroyed 370,000 Jobs
But here’s the thing:
Will The GOP Keep The House? Probably. The Democrats need to win back 25 seats to take control.
So think of NOT VOTING this way: you’re doing your part to elect the Republican party for decades to come…
