The Emperor's New Middle Class Policy. Uncle Sam parades naked in front of people. Man: What an exquisite white and gold robe! Woman: It's blue and black.
You gotta admire the Repubs. They get people to vote against their own economic interests, impoverishing themselves and their families and region year after year; now that is leadership!
“The middle class” is a term used by both parties so they don’t have to acknowledge there is both working class and poor people out there who are economically disadvantaged. Such a bother.
I think our “emperor” thinks a lot more kindly toward the middle class and even the many poor, than does congress.The are full of avarice and greed and wish all the poor would die off.If the take away the ACA, from the people who are now covered, those who had pre-existing conditions, that will make lots more die off faster.Poverty kills. Ask them, poor nutrition, putting stiches in your wound with a needle and thread, and many other things do Not keep you healthy.Plus people will have to resort to The Emergency Room, where they have to take you.
What ConserveGov and the rest of the righties NEVER mention, even though they’ve been told this a hundred times is that the government employment numbers have ALWAYS been inaccurate. They were innacurate under both Bushes, they were in accurate under Clinton, and yes they were inaccurate under Ronald the Great, too.
Why is it that every time this fact has been pointed out in the past, the righties have never answered it?
Many of Iran’s neighbors are against a treaty / negotiated settlement for various and widely divergent reasons (NOT black & white, as you infer), some supporting Iran – others against – many because they do not trust Iran or the ability of the US (with our fractious political situation) to at a strong, safe agreement. What is your logical position ? Do nothing?…“Bomb, bomb Iran” preemptively?…BOG Invasion?…on our own? Where’s the $$$ coming from? (China ?…We’re BROKE !)…what about collateral damage, inside Iran and out – those neighbors will likely suffer from both sides – and who will “clean up the mess” afterward, whatever the process and outcome…what’s your logical thought on those considerations?
What would the republicans do to fix this?I know Scott Walker killed the public and private sector unions, so people can now work the same job for less money and fewer benefits.Really, what would you do?From everything I have read and seen the republicans have been soerking hard to make things more inequal.Some people, but fewer all the time, still think of “the other half” when in reality it is the other 1% and even they are getting lots less than the .01%.
You are a joke Pea.You start by saying that because I said something it must be false and then went on to try to explain why my comment is true, but not! Lol.Get a clue. Those FACTS weren’t made up by me. They are government statistics!Why are the highest number of working age people in America NOT WORKING since Carter?I know, everything is peachy.Try asking a neighbor who actually works for a living.

You’ve said we should have elected John “Bomb Bomb Iran” McCain, so until you’ve repudiated that, it’s stuck to your fingers.
