In the Charade of Who Wins And Loses in the federal shutdown, the GOP came out as usual for the Giant Mega-Corporation Defense Contractors. Missing in the one week extension otherwise provided, any mechnanism for providing income tax refunds to spouse and offstrings of troops in the field, and former troops in the field!
Yahoo News did not elaborate in its own version of the ploy:
"Boehner said he asked Obama to sign a stopgap measure the House passed Thursday afternoon that would fund the government for one more week, make $12 billion in cuts, and fully fund the Pentagon through September. The speaker said he expressed his direct disappointment to Obama that the president intended to veto the bill if it ever got to his desk."
The Obama Constiutency, of vets and military--and any spouse or offspring--apparently said, "No!" to Corporate Excesses, provided instead of food, clothing, children, fuel and other requirements for women and children, babies and males, grandparents and others prepared to spend the money that will not be coming: All due to the GOP!
"Crow, James Crow: Shaken, Not Stirred!"
(Trail of Tears led to Lands of Many Nations, of Rotted Corn and Poison Blankets--even much moonshine ago!)
