In reply to the discussion: Obama: Bush Tax Cuts For Wealthy Will Not Be Extended, Period [View all]bulloney
(4,113 posts)Four years ago we heard Obama talk this way across the country. Spoke like a real populist who's going to end this nonsense of attacking countries that accomplishes nothing but funnels money into the MIC's pockets and creates more terrorists bent on harming us. We were going to see the end of business as we know it in Washington. The fundamental causes of the Great Recession on Wall Street are still in place and we are seeing a continued effort to eliminate the safety nets that would have made the Great Recession into the Great Depression II had they not been in place. We saw an extension of the Bush tax cuts that are the leading cause of our federal deficit.
We're seeing the obscenely rich get richer faster at the expense of the middle and lower classes.
So, you'll have to pardon me if I seem skeptical.
