Where is the COMMON SENSE??? Ignoring History and Keep on
doing the same old things and we expect a different
outcome??????

People with any smarts at all have figured out that
the Conservative Economic Fundamentalism (FREE MARKET
PRINCIPLES adopted during the Reagan Adm. and enforced
and enhanced by every President since Reagan have led
us to this Great Recession. Tax Cuts(starve the beast)
Deregulation to the point that the Banksters gambled
away our wealth and Unmanaged Free Trade(structurally
damaged our economy). Yes, a Trade Policy may create
a few job in short term--it is not long until all the
jobs are lost because the Business relocates overseas.

Knowing this please think about : DLC Third Way
are Republican Lite. I am not being mean. It is
true. WE EXPECT REPUBLICAN LITE to turn the catastrophe
around. We have been run by DLC, Third Way and Conservative
Blue Dogs for the past 3 years. Are we surprised the
results if any are slow????

No I am not saying go back and do exactly what FDR did.
I am saying that there are lessons to be learned. Those
who ignore history are bound to repeat it.

Being cautious and putting a little crumb here and there
to try to pacify Liberals actually seems to do more
harm than good.

Will we continue on losing our Democracy and Middle Class
or are there some Leaders somewhere who will attempt to
"right the ship???

1. Free trade and free market principles are nothing but the enrichment of the mega-rich...
at the impoverishment of everyone else.
