Jesse Jr: Super-Committee Failed? Good!

The Tea Party/Republican Party has succeeded in redirecting the country’s focus to deficit and debt reductions and away from what should be the nation’s real priority – creating needed jobs at livable wages to update and rebuild our infrastructure and other institutions so we can continue to compete in the future world economy. The Republican’s majority in the House and their filibuster in the Senate have succeeded in killing any serious jobs proposals as they attempt to fulfill the Minority Leader, Senator Mitch McConnell’s number one and highest priority – making President Barack Obama a one-term president. In other words, Republicans are putting party power over the country’s economic needs.
