House Majority Leader Eric Cantor attempts to be serious in an op-ed in
Politico today, an
open letter to President Obama.
He starts out on a ridiculous note:
This is a leadership moment.
When Republicans gained control of Congress, we promised to do everything in our power to grow the economy and create jobs. From Day One, our majority has made clear that those goals can be achieved only by first getting America’s fiscal house back in order.
If the number one priority was creating jobs, why have they devoted so much time to their war on women, to devising legislative chastity belts to punish us? If the number one priority was creating jobs, why did they
kill jobs with their cuts to community health centers? And if their goal is deficit reduction, why did they vote to repeal a law that
cuts the deficit?

Paul Krugman answers Cantor in this
column.
