because we are too focused on implementing austerity, cutting Social Security, and pouring more money into the military in Mali.... but we can justify implementing Republican policies that are malignant to the very fabric of our country by claiming that they will save a few jobs...

Yeah, that's the same argument we're hearing now when people mention cuts to the military. Isn't it stunning that the only way corporate Democrats seem to be able to even conceive of saving jobs these days is by implementing the Republican agenda.
