These things are not that hard to understand. There are enough pundits willing to explain it. It’s just that the people are too lazy to learn about something that is not – primarily, right now – important in their life. Instead they wake up years later when their privatized Social Security has been eaten by the monster that lives under Wallstreet. And since the VP-debate that monster has a name and a face: Paul Ryan. GWB tried to sell privatization and failed (and he was in office). What on earth was Ryan thinking to warm up that old chestnut again?
We Americans, including our top pundits like Thomas Friedman, know that our schools are in big trouble with maths.
Because they are still wasting the students’ time trying to teach it, when students have absolutely no interest because they know it’s completely useless.
Mr Friedman wants our schools to replace all those useless maths and thermodynamics courses and teach something really useful like ‘How to raise the venture capital to build a mean, green, perpetual motion machine and save the planet and become a gazillionaire overnight.’
Yes, I checked and YES, YES, 4 more years with President Obama look great. - It’s the tea party, republicans and r/w that need to go. Especially the party of NO needs to be voted out.
There is no debate. The gop (greedy old pols) are bad for the USA and the world. We need progressives who will bring universal healthcare to the USA, tax the megarich at the rates in effect during the 1960’s, restore the Glass Steagall act, restore the estate tax that only hit the top 0.5%, keep wall street, the banks and the corporations on short leashes.
put the power back in the hands of the money handlers again and we can expect 20% unemployment and 25% interest rates to pay. The interest you earn may go up to 5 or 6%. We.ve been there as Ryan would say.
I LOVE this toon. She has organized acts, numbers, and details on her side and he wants a CPA who can provide the “loopholes”. Since it seems neither side has the level of detail and clarity as does the woman in the toon of two common folks commenting to each other…. It’s ok to link in some facts, even if they’re just providing loopholes, but if these two folks talk to each other the way ScottPM does it will be a divorce at best. Just something to think about. We need ideas, not abuse. Respectuflly, C. Peace Trolls UNITE!!
2 cycles of two people lying and america’s pundits revelling in it. how boring. cnn spent an entire DAY with ‘experts’ annalyzing the debaters’ body language, for crapsakes. 3 more weeks. gawd.
“Anybody who had investments that tanked in 2007-08 and held on to them have seen them rebound in the last 4 years.” Facts do NOT serve the right wing agenda so pointing out common knowledge, facts, the truth and reality to a republican is a futile activity. They will simply ignore you and spout their fabricated figures that support their alternate reality position.
According to veteran Ohio cartoonist Stahler, the most satisfying part of his job is "those days when I can load my ink cannon with fodder faster than I can fire it."

Or you could just look at your savings account and then decide if 4 more years looks good.

Michael, there will be no need for Mr Friedman. Once Romney/Ryan are installed the law of thermodynamics will be repealed. The US will lead again.

I do not believe anyone on the right really cares if things would inprove under r/r. They just want their guy to win. It is an ego thing.
