The GOP has been callous and deeply hypocritical for some time, but the nakedness of their hatred of working Americans could not be more plain. All this does is squeeze the middle and lower class harder in a time when they are hit the hardest. Paradoxically the only way to jumpstart an economy in such a situation is to inject money into the economy at that level. We got out of the depression by massive government spending that employed millions of Americans - in the middle and lower classes. But helping working Americans was never a GOP priority. Pyramiding wealth even more and breaking the American workforce so it is desperate and will accept less and less has always been the goal.
