Today's Progress Report email has a story about the cost to extend the Bush tax cuts - something that is overwhelmingly supported by Republicans.
"...extending tax cuts for people making more than $250,000 per year would add $678 billion over 10 years to the growing deficit. Debt-service costs alone would amount to "$1.7 trillion over the 2009-2019 period."
A little further down in the Progress Report email is mention of a USA Today report that points out that the expiring unemployment benefits are estimated to save the federal government $34 billion through November. And of course Republicans have no intention of extending those benefits.
In a nutshell, to restate the obvious, the f-ckin' Republicans won't support an extension of unemployment benefits that help the middle class/working poor but they can extend tax cuts that help those who make over $250,000 a year. And I'll leave it to you to read the Progress Report to address Republican hypocrisy when it comes to the deficit.
In more f-ckin' economic bad news: foreclosures abound and are expected to reach one million this year.
F-ckin' Right On. F-ckin' why the clean f-ckin' energy revolution is f-ckin' here.

And step one... a f-ckin' cap on carbon, like f-ckin' BP should cap that f-ckin' well.
And in more WTF news: Money continues and continues to corrupt. And it's f-ckin' acceptable. It's "business as usual" to go to a fundraising lunch sponsored by Wall Street in the middle of the financial reform debates. F-ck that $h!t. That's totally not f-cking okay.
Oh and the chicken came before the f-cking egg.
