Republicans Causing More Market Uncertainty

Being hypocritical must be a prerequisite for joining the Republican party.  They claim President Obama is causing market uncertainty yet this is a party that is trying to use extortion to get its priorities—dismantling the little social safety net that exists in the U.S.—by refusing to increase the debt ceiling.  These are the same Republicans that voted to increase the Federal debt ceiling in the past.  The same Republicans that cut taxes for the rich to create the problem in the first place!  The very same Republicans that ran up the deficit with massive increases in defense spending and started two unnecessary and very costly wars!  The same Republicans that want to repeal healthcare legislation that actually helps struggling families.  The same Republicans that put politics before country.  The hypocrisy is mind-boggling and yet there seems to be a recognition by Americans of the changes Republicans are trying to make.  In some ways, the Republican extremism is a gift that will hopefully will be fully recognized and acted upon by the next election.
