Folks you can typically tell at a business conference who the hard-core GOPers are by spotting the guys on their knees licking the wingtip shoes of the big business representatives in attendance. I’m sad to say it appears most in the modern-day GOP share this affliction of favoring the corporate folks that stuff big money in their pockets over the local folks that elect them but it is what it is. So I guess none of us should be surprised at the new normal where the GOP controlled House of Representatives has no problem extending billions in taxpayer subsidies to big oil companies while literally chopping off local Corp of Engineers wetland projects at the knees barring new construction starts even on projects with funding in the pipeline.
The Louisiana GOP delegation is MIA on this of course while their party craps all over the local populace but we witnessed Mississippi’s own Steven Palazzo cutting big money from a defense project being constructed in his own district endangering the jobs of thousands of folks in the process so none of this is new. Unfortunately none of these sellouts shared any of those specifics when they were campaigning to “fire” Nancy Pelosi last year while gorging on Wall Street funded campaign cash.
The country is heading into the crapper faster now than ever with the draining of our treasury by special interests leading the way. They won’t stop until there is nothing left folks.
