Sad summary about Lima, OH and of how the middle class of middle America has been decimated - and how their politics have shifted rightward. BUT... If the Obama administration has been plagued by slow job growth and a faltering economy, conservatives in Congress and state government have helped EXACERBATE the problem by BLOCKING any REFORMS the administration has put forward. One of the Republican Partys leading obstructionists is Jim Jordan, Limas representative in the House. Jordan, who spent more than a decade in the Ohio Statehouse before coming to Washington in 2006, is one of the Tea Partys quiet TRATEGISTS, best known for his behind-the-scenes steering of House conservatives during their 2013 campaign to SHUT DOWN the government. A persistent thorn in the side of House Speaker John Boehner, Jordan regularly bucks the Republican leadership, opposing virtually any government-spending proposal: the TARP stimulus package, the auto bailout, the repeal of the Bush tax cuts, raising the debt ceiling, even emergency aid to the victims of Hurricane Sandy. He has voted to defund the Affordable Care Act 52 times. The destroyed hope of middle America... squashed by GOP obstruction.. has blinded them to some of the REAL causes of their problems... most of which are the POLICIES of the GOP. rollingstone/politics/news/where-the-tea-party-rules-20141014#ixzz3GKQX3Q30
