Van Lingle, you just don't seem to get it. My kids ARE growing up in a country with a fucked Supreme Court.

When is the last time you heard a politician saying they wanted to go to Washington to help the poor and working poor people of this country? When is the last time you heard a politician say they wanted to go to Washington to restore the budget cuts made to our New Deal institutions, and provide a basic standard of living and human rights to the poor and working poor people of this nation, who contribute mightily to the wealth of the few, for very little in return, including the ability to survive from day to day?

What none of you seems to be able to take on board here is that there are places in the US that currently rival New Delhi in terms of standard of living.

Are the Democrats doing anything about that? Oh, right. They are going to take away the latest give away to the ric. That won't even restore last years draconian budget cuts.

How about getting some action on the draconian budget cuts from the Reagan era? The Clinton era?
