Obama hasn't solved the economic problem therefore we must vote in Republicans.....

....right.....

This is is the same argument you hear about corporations having the ability to corrupt our government therefore we must shrink government....

Voting for more of the cause of our problems is not a solution either.

We need Progressives. Not Democrats.

Every election cycle, "its the economy stupid".
Meanwhile, through the years, I watch wages stagnate, my son, with a degree and 32 years old, makes what I was making in 1980.
And he is happy about it.
Its like the I/P issue, always the same damn thing and its never going to change.
Until the system falls.
Until we close trade loopholes, hell, lets end most trade completely or impose massive tarriffs.
Make widgets here again.
Yeah, dream on.
