...boost the US economy? I thought House Republicans were going to make improvement of the nation's economy their #1 priority.
Instead, they've made it their first task to engage in the merely symbolic gesture of voting to repeal health care legislation.
Surely House Republicans aren't so stupid as to believe that the Senate will also vote for repeal and that Obama will sign it. And I'm pretty sure that their mathematical skills are sharp enough for them to figure out that they would never have the votes to override a veto.
How many jobs will be created by passing legislation that will inevitably fail to become law?
How much will it reduce the deficit?
How much US debt will it pay off?
How will it reduce the mortgage foreclosure rate?
If the House Republicans were really concerned about the economy, why would they devote so much time and attention to something that will have no economic consequences whatever?
