Blame our last 40 years of free traitors ruling Congress and Presidential free traitors like 0bunghole.

Blame free trade. In Washington DC it is very very rare to find someone who had not bought into the myth of free trade. Many who live there have profited from it as lobbyists etc selling out America and US workers.

Automation and computerization is also eliminating many decent jobs here and has been for a few decades. Capital is in the drivers seat and labor is week because it is in surplus. Open borders and amnesties make the labor surplus worse

well, if that is what it takes to spread the wealth, then why try to deal with Congress?

nobama, as boringly usual, long on triteness, way short on solid, doable ideas.

This man has absolutely no idea of what a middle class family goes through on a daily basis. None.

But, then, that may be because he truly doesn’t give a sh!t about anyone but himself.

“A good job that pays a good wage. A good education. A home of your own. Healthcare when you get sick. A secure retirement even if you’re not rich. And more chances for folks to earn their way into the middle class as long as they’re willing to work for it,” he said.

That right there represents virtually hundreds of trillions in new federal spending. Where will that come from? I’m tapped out

“bold steps”
Chairman O always sounds like he’s reading from a chicom propaganda banner.
Yeah, a Five Year Plan. That’s the ticket. Two more years of this hack. Damn.

When I hear any Democrat start talking about “bold steps”, I tend to want to protect my wallet.

Let me guess. Obama’s proposals involve:

1. New government spending.

2. New government programs.

3. New government regulations.

4. New taxes and/or additional deficit spending.

Have I missed anything?
