Tea Partied and ‘Grovered” Republican House representatives said they will vote for the payroll tax this evening, but it must be PAID FOR BY THE UNEMPLOYED INSTEAD OF THE WEALTHY (INCLUDING 140 OF THEIR OWN)!
To add insult to injury, they tacked on the following demands to their payroll tax extension hostage scheme:
1. Unemployment benefits will be cut by 40 weeks.
2. The unemployed must take drug tests before receiving benefits. (Your guess is as good as mine as where the money is going to come from to pay for the tests since their FELLOW Tea Partied Republican Governors and state legislators have stripped government program funding in favor of dishing out tax cuts and loopholes for big corporations in their states.)
3. The unemployed must enroll in GED programs before getting benefits. (How is that going to work when their FELLOW Tea Partied Republican Governors and state legislators have stripped their states’ education funds to peanuts?)
