Yesterday NPR’s All Things Considered interviewed Rep. David Dreier (R-CA) about the reason the Republicans blocked the two month payroll tax relief and unemployment extension. After an initial attempt at obfuscation, he finally said that the Senate’s bill didn’t go far enough with regards to the Keystone XL Pipeline. The House explicitly required the President to proceed with the Pipeline project within 60 days, whereas the Senate bill only required him to make a decision about it in that time.
The Corporate controlled House effectively ordered the President to do the corporations’ bidding, or there would be no tax relief or help for the unemployed. And came within an inch, again, of shutting down the government, of shutting down the country. Corporate control of the Government is Fascism.
