Republican
congressional leaders are, falling over each other, auditioning for the role of
the ‘Tin Man” in the TEA PARTIED REPUBLICAN Wizard of Oz sequel – Kicking the Can Down the Yellow Brick Road!
House Speaker Boehner’s, Senate Minority
Leader McConnell’s, House leader, Paul Ryan’s – latest SCRIPTED TALKING POINT is “kicking
the can down the road”. Their talking
point refers to blaming the President for THEIR refusal to reduce the deficit
dilemma by increasing tax rates for the wealthy so that the rates will be on
the same playing field as the tax rates dumped on middle class families.
During Boehner’s ‘OZIFIED’ remarks at the 2012 Peter G. Peterson
Foundation, he promised to lead Tea Partied Republican House Representatives’
and Senators’ REPEAT PERFORMANCE of their summer/2011 protect the wealthy’s
“historically
low” tax rate battle. His sentiments
were, then, repeated by Tea Partied Senator Mitch McConnell, Tea Partied House
Representative Paul Ryan and other Tea Partied elected politicos.
They think WE don’t remember how they, merrily , skipped down the
“yellow brick road” in July, 2011 with
their “if I only had a brain” PAUL RYAN BUDGET PLAN fiasco which a)
insisted on spending cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, affordable health care, social and
educational services for women, children, college students, the elderly and the
poor that were GREATER than the amount of the debt-ceiling increases; b)
brought the US. Government to a near shut down; c) UNDERMINED international
fiscal confidence in the US dollar and d) DOWNGRADED our nation’s credit rating in a “historical and unprecedented
move” from “AAA to AA+”. (Dailykos..com article entitled “John
Boehner: Bring on the next debt ceiling hostage crisis” - Rollcall.com article entitled
“Boehner’s Debt Limit Demand Faces Skepticism” - adestcapitalmanagement.com
document entitled “Summer-2011”)
The only difference between the Tin Man in the Wizard of Oz and the Tea Partied Republican ‘Tin Men’ holding office in Congress is that Oz’s Tin Man KNEW he didn’t have a heart!
FYI
Tea Partied Republicans have a ‘wizardly’ habit of FALSIFYING facts by
transferring THEIR actions to others. We did a Google search on instances
where Tea Partied Republican
congressional members “kicked the can
down the road”. Here are a few starters:
Boehner, GOP kick the tires on a
second debt ceiling fight
House GOP Kicks the Can Down the
Road – Again!
Many student loan rates are posed
