Pain Isn't Partisan
Republicans are losing jobs
Republicans are losing their houses
Republicans are losing their healthcare
Republicans are losing their 401Ks
Republicans are losing their unemployment insurance
Republicans are taking their kids out of college
Republicans are losing small businesses
Republicans are being downsized

And they have the added burden of listening to their pompous, well-fed, well-paid, well-insured, well-financed, often very wealthy representatives tell them that any federal monies that help their plight is "porkulous" or "welfare" but that everything will be okay if they just have some tax cuts.

Does a tax cut save your house? Does a tax cut put food on your table? Does a taxcut pay for your hernia operation?

As the pain spreads even further, Republicans will start to feel the wrath of yes, Republicans. Let's see them do some townhalls in their own states about why they are against helping their own.

1. yeah it sucks but
its unfair to attack republican representatives as "well-fed, well-paid, well-insured, well-financed, often very wealthy representatives". Our own democratic representatives are in the same boat. Congressmen and women are all extremely well paid, and extremely well insured. They need to take a pay cut of thier own. Sure it's a tough job, but these are tough times. They should be suffering like the rest of America.
