your Legacy. In this environment it might near to impossible for one of you to rise and become the E. R. Murrow of these times. A Group of you could and I bet my bottom dollar the others would follow your lead.
We are loathe to call our state of affairs a Depression, but I am telling you there is very little difference between now and then (30s). We had I must say better leaders. The Media really was from the working class.
Most of you (Media) are smart enough to know everything reaches a point of diminishing returns. Wall Street must recognize it cannot get blood out of a turnip. Businesses seem to they can make the package or can a bit smaller, charge the same price or more and they will make money. Wrong. they soon reach diminishing returns. Likewise, Wall ST. can only make up stuff to gamble on. What made the World Economy and I say World Economy work was a successful America with all of our warts. My point here if we continue on accepting the fact that we will leave many people behind--we will have a Third World Country. The United States will become the Middle East. More and More people in the Streets and more and more destruction.
Common Sense tells us the Cut Cut Cut Strategy lays off more and more workers. Fewer Dollars coming into the Treasury in form of taxes. Yes they will balance the books but the country will be in shambles.
Please tell the GOP they can fight all the wars they want but if our county resembles Somalia, we have them to thank for nothing. Balanced Books, a few very rich people and the masses with essentially nothing.
Tell Obama working on the Budget in Republican Party space only adds to pain for this country.
The Conservatives have taken the politics so far right and our Party especially our Conservatives --instead of holding the Center Line--have joined the Republicans on their playing field.
History has shown us the way. FDR laid out the plan and we had great prosperity and fairness between the Haves and the Have Nots. In fact a MIDDLE CLASS WAS BUILT. We just want to repair the middle class. The War did not do this. Republicans refuse to accept the facts. It was FDR policies and not the war that gave us the prosperity.
NO we cannot go back. No one wants to go back. People and issues are the same. Some truths hold. This economy has reached a point of diminshing returns. It is time for our Media to stop bowing to the Republicans even when they are wrong. It is time to rebuild this country and this Democracy needs lots of work. We are losing our Democracy.
