....Staring nervously at a high unemployment rate, with the November elections around the corner, GOP lawmakers are concerned that what their leadership is revealing for this year’s work is simply not enough.
In short, they’re yearning for more than Speaker John Boehner’s signature infrastructure and energy production bill, and they worry they’re going to go home to campaign with a light legislative résumé.
“We need to get more done,” said Rep. Steve Stivers (R-Ohio), when asked if what has been laid out is enough......
Of course, in all fairness, passing bills with titles that include words like "job killer" and pushing bill, after bill, after bill, to end women's reproductive freedom is wasteful. It is time to dump the Republicans at their nearest country club. Republicans are sick of their leadership and themselves, and we're sick of them too. As they continue to worship at the altar of Ayn Rand, and the Koch Brothers, they've sold their souls to the god of money.
* The fallout continues over Gov. Kasich's decision to deliver his State of the State speech out of the Statehouse (see Vindy). Kasich's grand plan to move legislators, staff, security, and equipment to another part of the state will cost extra money. I guess it must be okay for Kasich to waste tax money on this expedition and his state plane rides. However, we should keep in mind that school children, the elderly, and residents of cities/counties are seeing their services disappear because funding is going to support Kasich lavish transportation modes.
