Clinton: GOP, Democrats Must Work Together to Save Economy

I strongly disagree – Republicans have no intentions of working with anyone unless they can hurt the economy.

The ex-President sounded somewhat wishy-washy in this interview with NEWSMAX. President Clinton seems to be returning to what used to work for him but does not work now. Yes, it was possible then to work together and even get legislation passed, albeit difficult and due to the stubbornness and opposition coming from Republicans.

In his interview with Newsmax conducted last week, the former president noted that the supercommittee’s failure to reach an agreement on cutting the budget by $1.2 trillion over 10 years resulted in a “standoff between the two parties when we actually need the best ideas from both.”

“Part of the problem is that, for the last 30 years, we’ve argued about whether the government was the cause of all of our problems, and whether the answer was always less,” Clinton said. “Now I believe the answer is, ‘Sometimes it’s good to have less [government], sometimes it’s good to have more, and however much you have, you ought to pay for it.’ ”

But that’s true when he was President then, we have seen it in the past three years that the Republicans have opposed, delayed and sabotaged any and all efforts by President Obama and the Democrats to do something about the economy and unemployment.

The Republicans have clearly put their party ideology ahead of country and don’t give a shit about the American people…they only care about those very wealthy ones and the corporations who line their pockets.

These and many other reasons I think make it impossible for any kind of compromise or improvement if we have to rely on Republicans. I do think that it would be best if we don’t even talk to them, leave them alone to their devices, not include them in any discussions about legislation as they will stiff our President as they have many times before while even holding the American people hostage.

The time has come to say NO, NO, NO to Republicans because that is the only word they understand …after all they are THE PARTY OF NO
