http://bluntandcranky.wordpress.com/2014/03/27/house-republicans-still-dont-give-a-s-about-anyone-but-their-fellow-millionaires/"And here is the proof. House Speaker John Boehner once again said no to providing insurance benefits to the unemployed: people who became unemployed because of Repub policies, mind you. So no, they do not give a single sheep raisin for you or I.
As it says in the above-linked article,
Two weeks ago, a bipartisan group of senators announced a deal on legislation that would extend benefits through the end of May. Under the bill, people whove missed benefits would receive retroactive payments. Given the additional 70,000 who have been dropped from long-term unemployment benefits each week since they expired in December, that number has reached roughly 2 million.
But House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) suggested Wednesday the House wouldnt consider the Senate bill to extend federal long-term unemployment insurance unless the Senate works to pass jobs proposals offered by Republicans.
Got it? The House Repubs wont do anything for the majority of Americans unless they can throw more of our tax dollars to their über-rich buddies. So, says the House majority, AMFYOYO to all of the working Americans that the GOP dejobbed via their idiotic economic policies.
As the woman who was quoted in the linked article asked about Boehner and his cronies, Dont they care about the irreversible damage they are doing to millions? The answer, dear lady, is clear:
No. They dont care. They didnt before, they dont now, and they wont tomorrow. No matter if you starve, live in a box, die, they do not care.

So much for caring about the deficit. That hasn't worked for 30 years.
