Goodness knows New Hampshire could use assistance like that in these difficult economic times, made far more difficult by the immoral budget passed by Bill O'Brien and his GOP supermajority in Concord.
But it's clear that Frank Guinta and Charlie Bass, who represent the majority in Congress' lower chamber, are more invested in defeating the President than improving the economy.
Those suffering now will have to wait at a minimum until January 2013 for there even to be the possibility of our ruling elites' getting anything done for working families.
Oh well.
