WASHINGTON — With a special deficit-reduction supercommittee floundering, the top Republican in Congress warned Thursday that he won’t permit savings from winding down the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to pay for President Barack Obama’s jobs spending agenda.

Democrats on the deficit panel proposed last week to use war savings to pay for a $300 billion jobs program along the lines President Barack Obama wants, plus take steps to protect the upper middle class from the alternative minimum tax and extend financing for doctors who treat Medicare patients.

2. Call Out Boehner And The Repugs On This Very Loudly......

let all Americans know that the Repugs are still stonewalling any attempt that Obama and the Dems make at creating jobs. Let the people know who is tanking this economy. Let them know - shout it out - that the Repugs are not for the people - only the 1% and the Corps.
