After President Obama’s Address to Congress, the Republican Party’s response was delivered from Louisiana Governor, Bobby Jindal. I am loving that Sarah Palin, Michael Steele and Bobby Jindal are the new faces of the Republicans – they are the new Three Stooges!
I wonder if he even bothered to watch the President’s speech? I wonder what planet he’s living on? He’s got an interesting personal story, but his ideas? Just more of the same failed Republican policies that got us into this ridiculous mess to begin with – tax cuts for the rich, abandoning public education. Really, Bobby Jindal? Is that the best the Republicans can do in this time of economic crisis?
Tax cuts will increase the debt but not have an appreciable effect on the economy, except to encourage more borrowing – people will pay off old debts but not buy new stuff. Recent history has shown this to be the case. And while paying off debt is good, it won’t create any jobs right now, which we need.
And charter schools and vouchers? There’s plenty of indication that charter schools do not improve education over traditional public schools – they are essentially a wash.
And getting rid of corruption and increase transparency in Washington, DC? No one has seen the text of the stimulus package? I guess he hasn’t seen http://recovery.gov/ yet, or the other websites the Obama Administration has published to enable the public to see how the money is being spent.
It’s no wonder that the Republican Party is becoming more and more irrelevant, and no longer a national party, but a regional party of the South. If this is the best they can do, then I say let them fade more and more into obscurity.
But what I want to know is which of the Three Stooges is Jindal? Moe, Larry, Curly, Shemp, Curly Joe?
