Voter Folly: The Results Have Been Worse Than The Cure

Almost two years ago voters decided to put control of the U.S. House in the hands of the republican party via their choice of Tea Party candidates and the results for the nation and its people have been a disaster.  Little to nothing has been accomplished since then to move the country forward in a positive manner to help in economic matters or job creation.

Now come November the voters will have another chance.  Will they reward the republican party again for their opposition to every inititive of President Obama or will they stand up and recognize their folly of two years ago.  The U.S. Senate just the other day voted yes to extend the Bush tax cuts but only for those making $250,000.00 a year or less and to let the remaining tax cuts expire.  Now the ball is in the court of the U.S. House for action and the republican's there have said they would vote against the matter.  If that really happens and voters relect a republican controlled House in the November elections, that will confirm their folly.

Understanding the past is still the key to the future and despite all the ups and downs of the economy over time, democratic administrations have always out performed republican administrations in every category to move the country forward.  Voters have to decide if they want to continue to repeat the failed policies of the pasts or learn from those failures and seek a better future.
