The 7 Big Republican Lies on the Economy, Robert Reich

7 republican liesThe GOP is failing miserably on the social, cultural and minority issues. Day after day they can’t help themselves from not only expressing their intolerance, bigotry and racism but when they get caught they have Fox and Talk Radio celebrating it. Abortion, birth control, Sandra Fluke, Paula Deen, Rodeo Clown and whatever it will be tomorrow to denigrate women and minorities

About all they can do about it is do what they can to keep the non Republican population from listening to them. Which is what attacking NBC and CNN to keep them from the primary debates is all about. They can’t change policy on issue at all, so what they need to do is go back to the core of the Grand Old Party and pound in their economic polices. All of which are LIES

1. Tax cuts for the rich trickle down to everyone else
2. Higher taxes on the rich would hurt the economy and slow job growth
3. Shrinking government generates more jobs
5. Medicare and Medicaid are the major drivers of budget deficits
6. Social Security is a Ponzi scheme
7. It’s unfair that lower-income Americans don’t pay income tax
