GOP-led House fiddles while Country suffers

While a multitude of firms including Kraft, Dean Foods, Northern Trust,and Takeda are cutting well-paying HQ jobs the GOP-led House is passing measures that have no benefit to the public, but helps them rail against Obama. The country is getting the politicians it deserves.

House passes symbolic measure against debt hike - Yahoo! Finance: "WASHINGTON (AP) -- The GOP-controlled House on Wednesday kicked off another session with a protest vote against raising the government's borrowing cap by $1.2 trillion, but the maneuver amounted to political theater under a process stacked on purpose in President Barack Obama's favor.
The nearly party-line 239-176 vote puts the House on record against Obama's use of unprecedented authority — awarded to him through a mechanism devised by the Senate's top Republican — to unilaterally raise the so-called debt limit unless Congress can muster the votes to block him."
