Congressional Republicans are assholes - more proof

They are the minority. There are 42 Senate Republicans. All 42 have signed a pledge to block all progress in the Senate until their demands are met. The most important thing to them is extending tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans, a measure proven to provide very little economic stimulus that will carry a price tag of $700 billion dollars over the next ten years. The GOP is against government deficits? bwahahahahahahahah.... pull the other one.

The Party of No strikes again. They don't care about the country. They're just assholes serving their wealthy corporate masters. They also want to make sure that nothing is accomplished by anyone with a D next to their names, no matter how helpful or just it will be. The GOP doesn't give a shit about just or beneficial bills. They just want to stop the Democrats.

p.s. Why can 42 senators out of 100 block everything? Easy. They will simply filibuster everything. The Senate is completely broken thanks to the rampant abuse of the filibuster and anonymous Senate holds. Since the Senate is broken, our government is broken as nothing can be passed without it.

The abuse of the filibuster means that a minority party that moves in lockstep as Republicans do can stop anything and everything they want.
