Republican's economics

Not only do Republicans display some serious intellectual limitations, but they appear to be stuck in a rut moving backwards. Consider this: Their main grippe with the present economic situation is that there is too much uncertainty. Uncertainty? Seems to me that life is woven around uncertainty.

I, for one, can't be too sure that I'll wake up tomorrow, but still, I'm planning, dreaming, plotting into the future as if I were eternal, or almost! Uncertainty or fear of paying more taxes is not what stops a smart business person from expending and from hiring.

To move forward, they only have to believe in their plan, in their idea, in their product or service and build their infrastructure accordingly. To hire they also need to see demand. If there's growing demand they don't care about life uncertainty or taxes! What's been a killer however is the unceasing negative-talk and obstruction from the Republicans.

This is a mood downer, a joy and job killer that broadcasts that life is bad and the end is near. It's been the only loud contribution from Republicans that I've heard recently, especially since Obama has been elected President. Seems that it might be time for Republicans to take a refresher, economic 101, course!
