(11,495 posts)Besides the fact they are both full of crap, they fail to inform the country that the reason so many people need help is because of the failed policies of the "REPUBLICAN PARTY" when they had control of things. Bush pretty much destroyed this country and during his years in the WH jobs were outsourced overseas so "corporations" could make huge profits. Wall street and banks were unregulated and gambling with peoples savings, 401K's and other retirement funds. Trillions of dollars vanished from investors accounts. Our country was fighting two wars which has cost more than a trillion dollars while Bush and the republicans gave huge tax breaks to millionaires and billionaires.
We still give "subsidies" and tax breaks to big oil companies, corporate farms and to those who outsource jobs overseas and the republican congress had made sure that anything that might have helped get this country back on track was prevented from happening in congress.
