Republican hypocrisy on accountability…

Well…I have been getting ill with all of the crowing our gov here in Michigan has been doing on getting his agenda enacted and the normal repub crap of tax cuts for business on the backs of the retirees here, and their constant mantra of accountability…but the infuriating thing that I have railed about before is that whenever the repubs talk about accountability, it always for the people and groups they don’t like, like teachers, and food stamp recipients, etc. What about accountability for the 2 billion dollars they took out of the people’s pockets and gave to business here? When this idiot pushed the biggest transfer of wealth to the rich in the history of the state, there was nothing in the law that said that this gift had to be justified by any “dashboard accounting” of the number of jobs that were created…just more of the “trust us” nonsense that is the core of the repubs relationship with business. When a basic accounting is done, the estimates are coming in that say that job growth has not been affected one iota by this largess to business…with the majority of the money just going into corporate profits and executive bonuses. So, retirees here in Michigan, you have given up a vacation or a new car, or paying your bills on time just so the repubs you voted for can give that tax money to the already wealthy so they can buy the fourth or fifth car or the new summer home in Harbor Springs….I wonder if they will let you visit it? Oh, that’s right, you don’t have the money for the gas to get there…geez…
