Despair spreads amid mounting job losses

Number of Americans receiving jobless benefits hits an all-time record.

And President Obama's stimulus plan gets no GOP support in the House. None. Zip. Nada. 0. Bupkus. Zero.

In this season of hope that we can rise above the corrosive polarization of recent years, and in the spirit of generosity, not one single fucking rethuglican voted to pass the economic recovery bill.

Why do rethuglicans hate America?

Not only that, but GOP leaders asked for and got some ill-advised tax cuts for business AND an agreement to start looking for ways to balance the budget, and the House Republicans STILL voted no unanimously.

Bipartisanship means "Democrats get rolled." The sooner Obama and Pelosi grasp that, the sooner some of our problems are going to get fixed.
