Congressman Mike Pompeo,
I believe you are making a mistake opposing a compromise on the dept ceiling which includes closing loopholes on the rich and oil industry, returning them part way to what they were during the Reagan era, when the middle class and small business prospered and rose from an economic slowdown. It appears you have no ability to compromise, even when you have the advantage. It reminds me of a friend of mine who was in the Israel Air Force and fought Syria said about then Yassar Arafat who was given opportunities but walked away, "he never passes up a chance to pass up a chance". You, and Mr. Cantors misguided friends, by pushing this game near the deadline are risking running up the interest rates for every borrower in the nation, both government and private. It appears you would damage the nation to make your point. I guess you will stand your ground protecting the top 5% income earners and let the vets retirement checks lay in the printers office.
Since when did Republicans stop supporting people who fight dictators, since when did we stop giving back door and covert succor to freedom fighters? Your votes on Libya are 180° from what Reagan would have done.
Your losing me Mike, I had regrets when you won the primary knowing you had filled your first machine shop with foreign built machinery over US made, and in your second shop farmed most the work to China. With your latest actions I feel even greater remorse at being in your district.
Get some. I just nailed Coats about McConnell and his single-minded focus on making Obama a one-termer while ingnoring the debt ceiling crisis. I called him last ditch option a scam.
ReplyDeleteBut, that may be the only way out.
Here it is though - can Boehner get it past the baggers and will DeMint or Paul filibuster it in the Senate.
Anyway it goes - the Republicans get the blame.
