I have always been curious when people like John Boehner, Mitch Mc Connell, Ted Cruz, and other Washington Republicans justify what they promote as “ What the American people want”, or “What the people have been demanding”, is it?

Really?

Or is it simply a statement they hope is accepted without investigation, and is to be assumed true merely because they said it, and it sounds good, like tossed out Biblical quotes that really do not exist.

An NBC/Wall Street Journal poll conducted November 14-17 compared what politicians say the American people want with what the American people actually say we want.

According to the GOP, both before the November 4th mid-term elections and after the supposed landslide election that consisted of 51% of the 33% of eligible voters who went to the polls, the people’s priorities are:

1. Authorize Keystone Pipeline.
2. Repeal “Obamacare”,
3. Pass the “Hire More Heroes” (veterans) Act.
4. Pass Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement with Asia.
5. Lower corporate taxes.
6. Thwart Obama on Immigration Executive Action.

Reign in the EPA and roll back environmental regulations.

According to the people who took the poll, their actual priorities were

1. Access to lower cost student loans–80% support.
2. Increase spending on infrastructure–75%
3. Raising the minimum wage–65%
4. Emergency funding for fighting Ebola in Africa–60%
5. Addressing climate change/reducing carbon emissions–59%
6. Building Keystone Pipeline–54%

Further, some of the GOP agenda items that registered below 50% of the American people’s support were things like: lowering taxes by closing loopholes; approving U.S. troops to fight ISIS in Iraq and Syria; reducing Medicare and Social Security benefits for wealthy retirees; new trade agreements with Asian nations; lowering corporate tax rates; cutting funding for ACA; path to citizenship; and raising Social Security retirement age.

Boehner and McConnell insist, however, that what we want is what THEY say we want.

They claim that the incoming GOP majority would “honor the voters’ trust”, but it is rather striking that they are actually ignoring the American people and pretending we want what they want.
