Yesterday after House Republicans released their
draconian budget assault on the majority of the population while
enriching the wealthy, Wall Street, and the military industrial complex,
President Obama stated the obvious about the Koch brothers’ vision for
America.
He said, “What
we’re seeing right now is a failure to invest in education,
infrastructure, research and national defense. All the things that we
need to grow, need to create jobs, stay at the forefront of innovation
and to keep our country safe… It’s not a budget that is going to help
ensure that middle-class families are able to maintain security and
stability and that people who are trying to get into the middle class
are going to have the rungs on the ladder to get into the middle class.”
No sane human being expected any Republican budget
to help economic growth, infrastructure, job creation, or stay at the
forefront of innovation much less help sustain or grow the middle class;
that is not now, and has never been any part of any Republican budget.
In fact, last year Mitch McConnell laid out the Republican plan to
“help” the American people “thrive and prosper” after the Kochs bought
control of Congress when he addressed the annual Koch billionaire confab
titled, “American Courage: Our Commitment to a Free Society,”
