You are correct, I think the GOP blocked something in 2014. How does that increase GDP, though?

"Equal pay for women"

First, it's against federal law to pay women less for the same job. Second, the myth of the gender pay gap has been debunked. When you compare pay between the genders for people in the same field and for people who have the same experience, the gap goes away. Do you think a female cashier on her first day, should make the same salary as an experienced CEO?

Men are more likely to go into lucrative careers, and they are less likely to take time off while having children. So they tend to have higher pay. There is nothing discriminatory about that.

"I believe they blocked over 500 bills"

I never said they didn't block bills. I asked what they blocked, which would increase GDP.

The American people, in 2010 and 2014, voted to give Congress to the GOP. It's safe to say, that people didn't elect Republicans, because they want them to go along with Obama. If that's what they wanted, they would have voted for Democrats.
