While it is a great one-two punch to defeat Repub talking points, it also highlights how little has been done for the middle and lower classes.

It still sucks out here for a lot of us. Bragging about saving Wall Street isn't going to win over many people.

in response to the largest economic crisis since the Great Depression we (including Democrats) decided that the best thing to do was throw money at those at the top and hope it trickles down.

Some help has been shown to us peons at the bottom but it was peanuts compared to what they did for the "job creators".
