WaPo factchecker is a GOP Toady. He attracts a lot of TP Nutjobs. It would be nice if some rational
.. people would provide more critiques of his GOP friendly 'Factchecker'..
Obama’s claim that the GOP has ‘blocked every serious idea’
He gave Obama three Pinnochios for his statement. In his column he 'forgot' about the fact that this year the Repugnants have been obstructing the Highway Trust Fund bill - without replenishment this will cost about 700,000 jobs. The GOP - since this is not a tax cut for wealthy people - want 'offsets' to cover the cost of replenishment of HTF. GOP Proposed offsets: stopping mail deliveries on Saturdays, tax cuts for corporations repatriated foreign profits (an old standby of the Corporate Lobbyist Party).
Kessler also forgot that the GOP this year has continued its opposition to extending Unemployment Benefits to long term unemployed - unless 'Offsets' are found - (preferably cuts to programs helping the poeple most hurt by the GOP's Trickle Down - Deregulation disaster.
It would be nice to see more vigorous criticism of this toady from rational people. there are too many screwball comments on there from TP psychos.
