Jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs
The fact that the electorate did exactly what they shouldn't have to try and secure jobs and job safety, that was what they were trying to do when they "threw the bums out". This wasn't a mandate for compromise, it was a demand for help. Unfortunately, the people are too divided and frankly, too stupid, to get their message across. Those inside the beltway are determined not to hear the right message because it's inconvenient, and frankly, not their real agenda.

3. Well, at least one politician understands what the election was about
But Bernie Sanders is definitely smart and he listens outside the beltway.

8. Yes, he's like us Americans who can see the forest for the trees.
Those inside the beltway, don't care if we see the forest so long as we see their pink elephants.

4. The board is screaming fast this morning and I'm heading for bed for the day
No, not depressed (though Goddess knows how I'm not!) just a nightshifter. See y'all on the flipside.

9. Don't forget the social net. Jobs are very important, but we need that social net too for
anyone who cannot work or who needs some extra support.

10. We don't need jobs, we are all going to get trickled on.
Republicans guarantee if we give everything to the rich they will trickle a tiny bit back to us and then we will be set for life. :shrug:
