>>As the Sanders report points out, “We must raise the minimum wage to a livable wage. In the year 2015, no one in America who works full time should be living in poverty.”
We don’t need a “living” minimum wage. That’s for unskilled teenagers. We need jobs in America for people who don’t have college degrees. That means building things in America for Americans. That’s the only rising tide that truly raises all boats.
We also need families again—with a father! We need young people with a sense of modesty and respect for themselves and others.
The Democrats and the only honest Socialist among them, Sanders, helped to destroy all of that and now they want to pretend to be the champions of the middle class.
To them, middle class means people who live well on the dole while working temp jobs to make the Democrats’ big Wall St donors happy.
This should read, "a national debt that has politicians stealing from our children and grandchildren..."
I have two words for you. “Barf Alert”.
The national debt has skyrocketed under Obama, what imaginary world do these leftists live on?
The debt was a hair over 100 billion in 2006 before Pelosi became speaker. It was coming down to nearly balanced because the economy was on a strong and steady climb.
Then, it ballooned to 1.5 trillion under Obama, Pelosi and Reid. It has come down quite a bit but is still historically high. Last check, north of $500 billion, but that may be down more.
The left measures from the worst level under Obama and then shows how he’s lowered it 2/3rds. Interesting math.
If I overspend my salary by 100,000, and then the next year overspend it by only 33,000...I am doing good, right?
He can stick this idea up his "shovel ready" porkulus.
>>By investing $1 trillion in infrastructure spending over the next five years, as Sen. Sanders suggests in his report, we could help create over 13 million well-paying jobs AND bring the US out of the 19th century and into the 21st century.
Funny, I seem to remember something called a “stimulus bill” that said the same thing....
Biggest deficit in Washington DC is a moral one.
Let’s just give everyone a Federal Government job that pays $1,000,000 a year with very generous benefits. All private sector jobs will be declared illegal and everyone must undergo a transpecies operation. No rules of morality and ethics must be forbidden.
This is a huge issue, which neither political party is doing a single thing to reconcile.
We are now 18.1 trillion dollars in debt. Our national deficit with China is MASSIVE and it increases every single year.
Yet nobody is doing one single thing. Not Republicans. Not democrats.
Nobody.
