Boehner on Americans' Top Priorities: They Are 'Dead, Real Dead'
January 26, 2015
On CBS' "60 Minutes" last night, Speaker Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell offered nothing new to the American people – just more of the same obstruction, dysfunction and distraction, declaring Americans' priorities "dead, real dead." When asked about solutions to battle the nation's income inequality, here's how they responded:
Raising the minimum wage for America's hard workers – BAD IDEA.Making sure the ultra-wealthy pay their fair share of taxes – NOPE.
Making community college free – NOT HAPPENING.
So what's on the Republican agenda? More of the same…
- Repealing and undermining the Affordable Care Act, risking the health security of millions of Americans, continues to remain on the radar.
- Passing more radical and partisan bills affecting our national security and immigration system.
