Republican obstructionism wastes time and tax dollars

Believe it or not, President Barack Obama’s policies have reduced the U.S. deficit so low that even Fox “Faux” News had to report it. Wow! This is despite rabid Republican congressional obstructionism to Obama’s fiscal policies (and all his other policies).

As has been widely reported, not only are the Republicans guilty of treason for communicating with foreign leaders in attempts to derail the Iranian treaty negotiations, but they are guilty of malfeasance of office for wasting congressional time and millions of dollars in taxpayer money in pointless obstruction of all of Obama’s proposals since his 2008 election as president.

Instead of representing the interests of our country and those who elected them, they pander to their rich donors by endlessly trying to repeal Obamacare and fighting all other proposals from our president. They also pursue endless investigations, whose sole purpose is to undercut Hillary Clinton’s popularity. At the state level, the Republicans pursue endless investigations of Planned Parenthood. Those investigations have recently resulted in a Texas grand jury indictment of a filmmaker for creating the faked videos used to attack Planned Parenthood.
