Am I cynical enough to think they will therefore actively work to sabotage the economy as best they can? Well, yes, I am.

I mean, the election is only six months away. Far better to tank the economy for a few months than to have four more years of Obama -- and maybe even lose control of the house. If they can stall the economic recovery, gain control of the senate and white house, and then and only then go to work on improving things, that could keep them in power for quite a number of years.

See? Obama and the dems almost destroyed the country, but we in the GOP rescued it in the nick of time. So in the long run, temporarily blocking any economic recovery is a small price to pay -- in fact, it's the patriotic thing to do.

UGH. And this is one of my main problems with BOTH parties. Power breeds corruption (because it IS corrupt to make that kind of decision) They care more about staying in power / getting into power than they do about us. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.
