According to most sources, the GOP is thrilled to death that they have prevented urgent economic recovery for the middle class.
From the New York Times:
Republicans profess to be unconcerned. House Republicans on Thursday headed off to a retreat at The Homestead, a Virginia resort, still celebrating their unanimous stand — despite Mr. Obama’s visit to the Capitol to seek their support — against a package that in their view has too much big-government spending and too few tax cuts. Their unsuccessful substitute was entirely of tax cuts.
From the Washington Post:
The bill passed easily despite the opposition of all 177 Republican House members, but party leaders delighted in what they considered a victory after two straight electoral drubbings and much soul-searching about what the party stands for.
From The Hill:
House Republicans still elated from their unanimous vote againt the Democratic stimulus package think they will be able to work with President Obama on future bills despite the partisan vote
What kind of people would be happy to stand by and thumb their noses at the average American while the country slides further into a full-scale depression? How did King George put it year ago? "If you're not with us, you're against us"
