Today's example of monumental Republican idiocy is Representative Paul Broun (R-GA). This epitome of short-sightedness said at a town hall meeting that he would vote against raising the debt ceiling unless major cuts were made to the Federal budget. When asked by his constituents which cuts should be made, he said, get his...."I propose getting rid of the Department of Education. I'd like to get rid of the Department of Energy as well."
So, unless we seriously hamper education, alternative energies and our ability to maintain our nuclear stockpile (did you know that the Dept. of Energy is responsible for that, Congressman?), he'd prefer to have the United States default on our debt and risk the chance that the dollar is no longer considered the reserve currency globally.
That's some fine politickin' Paul. You've convinced me to support your opponent both in the primaries and general election in 2012.
