Now that the Republicans and some Blue Cur hangers-on have chopped more help for our unemployed, we should consider our next moves.
The Deficit Terrorists aren't mindlessly hostile to unemployed people. If you're unemployed and the right sort, they are quite willing to help. There's another diary on the rec list here on how a nice chunk of our taxes in Afghanistan goes to paying protection money to the Taliban.
So here's the meme:
Thanks to the Republicans the Taliban have jobs. How about you?
Part II: If some of the few progressives could put a hold on the next war appropriation until the all the provisions in the late great jobs bill are enacted in some form. It could be through riders, whatever.
Naturally we would get the "unpatriotic" drivel thrown up at us but I don't think it will look very robust against the counterargument that the Republicans would rather the Taliban have jobs than Mainstreet Americans. Ben Nelson and the other Deficit Terrorist Democrats could find themselves very lonely when people realize what their priorities really are.
