The truth is that trickle-down has never worked and never will. Obama is not ruining the economy. The economy was ruined by a blind GOP allegiance to an economic policy that made no sense, and sadly the current GOP ticket of Ryan/Romney still believes in that same failed policy. The Republicans never seem to learn, but it is time for the American people to learn this lesson -- and give President Obama enough Democrats in Congress to change that policy.
Seems to me this is condemnation of both policies; Republican policies got us here and Democratic policies have kept us here. Stock market and corporate profits are at all time high, middle class wages have gone down and unemployment is still at unacceptable levels and not improving. How can anyone think that the Democratic party is not as fully wedded to the oligarchy as is the Republican one?
ReplyDeleteI know, I know, the white knights on their trusty steeds have been thwarted by the evil windmills of obstructionism. Funny how a Republican majority always gets its way, while a Democratic majority never does. Put another way, a Republican minority can obstruct a majority, but a Democratic minority cannot. Do we not see a pattern here?
Yes, there are also Democrats to blame. They are called blue dogs. While there have been Democratic majorities recently, there has not been a majority of progressive Democrats.
