The GOP: 150 Proud Years Of Keeping The Rich Rich And The Poor Poor--With Their Own Consent

After weeks of fighting Republican opposition, Obama has finally succeeded in extending UI benefits.
Our conservative legislators maintain that we can't afford the 30 billion that this extension will add to the deficit--while tenaciously supporting the extension of Bush's tax cuts for the nation's wealthiest 5% (which at 60 billion/year has added an estimated 3TRILLION to the deficit.)
Hey, you've got to draw the line somewhere!

The saddest part is that a good percentage of those receiving these hard-won benefits will vote against Obama in the next election because he doesn't belong to the NRA and he favors basketball over recreational machine-gunning.
