Because we Republicans tend to elect low IQ goofs to public office while we are busy running the economy. Now... we don't have much of an economy to run and the goofs can't fight the bad guys. So the bad guys are destroying our wealth and our country. Simple, no?
The Republicans aren’t dumb. They just prefer the perks of power even as a minority to risking their sorry behinds for the good of the people. These are historic times and they are abdicating. The appropriate response to this dim maneuver is a complete Republican boycott of ALL House budget issues from this point forward. I want see empty chairs on tv while the dims railroad this “budget”. They need to 100% own this disgusting fiasco. What we got now from Republicans is a “loyal opposition” speech, no vote and then off to the club for a cocktail. Meanwhile the country burns.
