however pure Boehner's motives may be, the dirty truth is that a stall in the recovery would bring political benefits to the Republicans in the 2012 elections. It is in their political interests for unemployment to remain higher for the next two years. "So be it" is callous but rational
What's sad is they've even stated that's their goal. Before lying to the masses of stupid that fell for the "vote for us and we'll get the jobs for you" crap.
