Actually, the only thing House Republicans are moving on aggressively is wasting more time.
Republicans spent yesterday boldly reaffirming "In God We Trust" as our national motto, and have now moved on to the 112th "do nothing" Congress' daily red meat toss: a law against something that doesn't exist:
Earlier this year Republicans found what they saw as the the ideal talking point to illustrate a federal bureaucracy gone batty.
The Environmental Protection Agency, they warned, was trying to regulate something only God could control: the dust in the wind. [...]
There was just one flaw in this argument. It was not true.
The EPA’s new dust rule did not exist. It never did.
But that's not stopping Republicans from peddling claims that the EPA will fine you "for driving home every night on your gravel road," or when your "cow kicks up too much dust." Not that their asinine claims were "intended to be a factual statement":
Spokespersons for Boehner, Poe and Carter — the congressman who had sketched out worries about gravel roads — say all their bosses knew there was no actual proposed rule. They were speaking hypothetically, the spokespersons said, about the threat of a possible rule. Spokespersons for Cantor did not offer an explanation of his words.
And this is what House Republicans are spending their time on. Anything but jobs.
What's next? Affirmation that our flag is red, white and blue and that mom makes the best apple pie ever?
