Sharing from Mike Rappaport: Did Mitt Romney win the election? This was pretty much his entire platform. When Republicans win, they do what they want. When they lose, they do it anyway. Elections mean nothing to these people. "In return for a one-year suspension of the debt ceiling, House Republicans are demanding a year-long delay of Obamacare, adoption of House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan’s tax-reform plan, construction of the Keystone XL pipeline, more offshore oil drilling, more drilling on federally protected lands, looser regulations around ash coal, a suspension of the Environmental Protection Agency’s regulation of carbon emissions, more power over the regulatory process in general, reform of the federal employee retirement program, changes to the Dodd-Frank Act, more power over the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s budget, repeal of the Social Services block grant, expanded means-testing for Medicare benefits, repeal of the public health trust fund and more." - Washington Post
