Quick Note: John Boehner Raises the Bar on GOP Hypocrisy


I read an article in this morning's New York Times about the latest jobs report and how the improving economy offers better "prospects of bipartisan cooperation" in Congress next year.  

"Republicans and Democrats can seize on easing fiscal pressures to give both sides some of their wish lists."

Enter Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) who, when asked to comment on the latest positive jobs report, offered this: "Millions still remain out of work, and middle-class families across the country, including my home state of Ohio, are struggling to get by on wages that haven't kept pace with rising costs."
And nothing shows you care like the GOP's refusal to raise the minimum wage, does it Mr. Speaker?
