Why, then, are Republicans trying to hedge on the spending cuts they agreed to last year, after nearly crashing the economy on purpose?

We’re hedging because the Dems won’t agree to the needed deal without a tax increase Republicans can’t vote in favor of.

Why, then, did Republicans defeat a Veterans’ jobs bill that would have created jobs for men and women who could use the help, after putting their lives on the line for this country?

I’m going to reply “asked and answered” to this one. I addressed this topic extensively last week.
