Maddow contrasts the accomplishments of government when the House of Representatives was in the hands of Democrats, politicians that seemed to want to accomplish much for the working middle class. They passed a healthcare law, a banking law, equal pay for women law, economy saving stimulus law, and much more. Rachel factually illustrates that the Republican House of Representatives have accomplished nothing for the country in the two and a quarter years they have been in power. It has passed no meaningful legislation. It has passed no laws to aid employment. In effect it has been more damaging to America than if they simply stayed home in their district and did nothing. They have materially hurt the working middle class, the poor, and the economy at large. Now with this government shutdown, they will cause more pain to all but a few American citizens. While their wealthy funders will be fine even as they continue to spend to misinform the Right Wing base, all will suffer as the monies government employees would have added to the private economy, mostly in Red States, is gone. The poor will suffer yet another damaging blow. The working middle class will continue their slide into poverty. (You may have to download program to view this. Norton Safe. Includes Hulu!!)
