A do-nothing U.S. Congress

The United States has as of today a 9.1% unemployment or 25 million people without a job.
We are also seeing was is probably the most “do-nothing” Congress in history.
They ran on jobs. As of today October 14th, 2011 they not have not offered one single proposal to reduce unemployment.
They have spent the last few months trying to push the country into default, its first in history, regardless the cost to the wellbeing of its population.
October 13th the U.S. House of Representatives spent the whole day proposing a ban on finding abortions with public funds. This ban has been in place since 1976.
Since the House has been in session since January 2011 the main topic has been abortion. They have brought the same proposal to the floor 7 times.
The U.S. has faced weather related in 2011 including tornados that destroyed cities such as Joplin, Missouri, and hurricanes such as Irene that left many states devastated such as Vermont, where there are still feeling the effects, even though the storm didn’t hit at its worst. The position of the republicans in the House is that there is no money to help these communities unless it comes from another part of the budget, therefore taking the money out of programs for people who need them. In other words you help one group of people at the expense of another.
But the interesting thing is that does not happen with the people making millions and billions, such as hedge fund managers. Their taxes are in many cases half of the average middle class person pay.
We can also subsidize oil companies, and corporations such as GE that didn’t pay a penny in taxes.
So the hypocrisy is that there can be tax breaks and money to give away to the top 1% percent and corporations, but we cannot help the people who need money to rebuild their communities.
The House has been hijacked by fanatics who don’t care about unemployment, don’t care for the future of the country, but that their only drive is to stop abortions, to outlaw it.
Polls show that Americans want the government to deal with unemployment, not with abortion.
I find it very interesting that in the first 6 years of the previous decade republicans had the three branches of the Federal Government, the Executive, the Legislative, and the Judicial, and DID NOTTHING to challenge Row vs. Wade.
The only thing they want to do is take women’s rights away, and push people into poverty, and the shameful thing is that they want to rap themselves in the Christian flag.
