Democrats Still Reading From The Same Failed Script

Republican Study Committee Chairman Tom Price (R-GA) issued the following statement after President Obama tried to blame Republicans for Congressional Democrats’ refusal to pay for new spending to extend unemployment insurance:

“If Democrats agreed to pay for this extension, it would have passed weeks ago,” said Chairman Price. “Instead, they chose to play politics and ignore an obvious bipartisan solution. Rather than work toward solutions that pay for what Washington spends, President Obama and Congressional Democrats want to continue deficit spending while imposing job-killing tax hikes on the small businesses we rely on to create new jobs. This is the same script they have been reading from for the last year and a half, and clearly it does not end in recovery.

“The Democrats’ deficit-fueled spending spree has completely failed to kick start the economy. But instead of changing course, the President reacts by attacking Republicans who want Washington to act in a fiscally responsible manner. Political games will not create jobs for the millions of unemployed Americans. Recovery will come when Washington stops punishing America’s job creators with massive tax increases and reckless deficit spending.”

A great example of the BS politics we get from these parties. The Reps. are right on with this one. Extending benefits are the right thing to do, but pay for the damn things if you are going to do it. In this case, the Dem. partisan BS won't let them see the light. Just as often the partisan BS on the right blinds them.

Nope. The Republicans don't want to extend unemployment benefits period. They're back pedaling now that Obama has called them out on it.
