Paul Volcker, the man who, under the Regan administration, is widely credited with bringing down double digit inflatation to under 4% is trumpheting his Volcker Rules.

Once again, I will spell out the point of this thread for you.
Paul Volcker is economic titan from the Regan era that is widely credited with reducing double digit inflation to under 4%.
The fact that he is on President Obama's team shows how non-ideologically dogmatic Obama is on working with people who offer SOLUTIONS.
At the Tea Party convention, Mrs. Palin mentioned Reagan as one of the right wing's greats.
Volcker has a set of proposals, known as the Volcker Rules that Obama has been pushing to implement.
One would think given Volcker's experience and record, more Republicans would be at least willing work on implementing at least some of the proposals. Has this Reagan era great even been interviewed on Limbaugh, Beck or any Fox News affiliate?
If this is not so, given the high prestige of Reagan among the current crop of right wingers, this is somewhat perplexing, IF they are indeed truly about SOLUTIONS AND PROBLEM SOLVING.

That's because the Republican Party is not about finding solutions and problem solving...
They are about protecting the interests of corrupt big corporations,...
They care nothing about working together.
They are about keeping things the way they are - by any means necessary.
They've earned the title obstructionist.
For the Republican Party, obstruction is a fact of life and their mode of operation.. it's not an empty label.
Elementary my dear. Anything Obama endorses the current right will oppose. The guy could say cancer is bad and there'd be pundits on the right and people in here saying he's wrong.

Yep. It's really that simple.
According to those on this board who represent the right,
"being fat is good for our children and you can't prove that there's a connection with obesity and other health issues...."
It doesn't matter to the Republicans that our economy is at a standstill and people are out of work....
it seems that they want things to stay bad so they can point their fingers at the present administration and say "where are the jobs?"
The Republican party doesn't care about anything but power.
