Labor unions, progressive organizations, and hundreds of citizens are taking to Twitter this morning to express their frustration and anger at U.S. House Speaker John Boehner.
In 2010, Boehner consistently asked “where are the jobs?” while leading his caucus to block, obstruct, and delay legislation that would spur the clean energy industry, extend desperately needed unemployment insurance, cut taxes for working families, preserve the jobs of teachers, strengthen workers’ rights, and much, much more.
In 2011, now with the Speaker’s gavel, John Boehner has led his caucus to conduct ideological attacks on Planned Parenthood and NPR, further cut taxes for the super wealthy, obstruct workers’ rights by attacking the NLRB, attempt to shut down the government multiple times, and instigate an immature, embarrassing, manufactured crisis out of raising the debt ceiling.
