Do you think Republicans will use their budget control power to derail the recovery in hopes it will help them win in 2012?

Asked by ETpro (34605points) February 16th, 2011

Deep enough cuts in Federal spending right now will likely end any recovery underway, as this article in today’s Washington Post suggests. Surely House Republicans know that. They also know that come election time voters see the current unemployment figures and economic malaise a whole lot clearer than they see who got them in that mess to begin with. So knowing that, do you think John Boehner and House Republicans are willing to hurt America’s economy if that will translate to them winning the Senate and the Oval Office?
