I suppose that the Libertarian way of whining about how they are being pushed around by the government is a better approach.

I love to hear the crying.

It's like music.

The whining isn't the music that I do my happy dance to... but the reason for the whining might just be.

The Democrats are always supporting the public sector in expense of the private.
While the Republicans are still trying to sell the line that what's good for Corporate America is good for citizens, like some variation of trickle down economics. The private sector has been offshoring jobs since the GOP held the white house and both houses (and actually long before that). As we've seen repeatedly over the years, Corporate American has no moral compass and the government's moral compass is for rent regardless of what party has control.

You have no idea of what you are talking about and no clue about basic economics.

There is no difference between either party. They talk like there is but if you listen to what they are saying it's all the same.

But I suppose that those who would cut and/or eliminate unemployment benefits and social security-disability in the name of budget deficit reduction, while at the same time sending ALL of our jobs away in the mane of some idiotic 'free trade, open markets, global economy' la la land idyllic 'principle' have "a clue", correct??

That your right wing wants to eliminate the middle class is NOT conspiracy theory anymore, it is plain as day FACT at this point.

How come the TRADE deficit does not concern all of you 1/10,000th as much as the budget deficit does??!!

Your econ 101 principles are such hard, cold, steadfast, undeniable, empirical, scientific FACT, right?
I guess that's why all of the economists (quadruple doctorates or otherwise) were able to prevent this country from falling into 20% unemployment rates, and impending 4th world status with their "trickle down", and all to the other counties' total benefit ONLY trade policies?

You do realize social security is bankrupt along with the country? Why do our jobs go away? Could it be because of high regulations and taxes?? Nah couldn't be! We do have to keep obligations to those who have paid into social security and those dependent on government assistance while eventually ending them. One way to do it is cut back over seas spending.

Both parties and the federal reserve are eliminating the middle class. To think just one party doing it is naive at best.

It does concern me. Instead of government spending on jobs that produce nothing. They should be making it easier for business to operate and to hire people. We produce and save nothing. We just borrow and spend. Doing the same thing that got you into a problem does not get you out of it.

Government workers...although have had some cutbacks (many NONE) are not the ones suffering. The PRIVATE sector is suffering and it's the private sector that creates jobs, not the public.

In CA, if you are a public sector employee you have hit gold. Outrageous retirement, great salary and benefits...un matched in the private sector world all on the backs of those of us in the private sector who are being forced to pay for this largesse when we ourselves are so much poorer.

Of course the Democrats support this because the government unions are at the top of their donation list. Who cares about the private sector, right? Let's just tax them more and more to pay for the high salaries of the government workers!

One more reason I cannot vote Democratic anymore. I am so tired of government unions calling the shots bedamed how bad the rest of the populace is suffering.

It just shows Democrats know nothing about jumpstarting an economy.
All they know is to tax more and give to their union buddies. That's it.
Well, I am a state employee in CA, and I can tell you they pay me a tremendous amount less than people get in the private sector with my qualifications. Moreover, they pay me about the same as someone who lives in another state where the cost of living is lower. We also just enjoyed a year of furloughs -- getting 10% of our already too low pay cut from our salaries.

Yeah, I really feel like I've hit gold.

Just the SEC needs 800 new employees due to the financial regulations he just signed. Exactly how is additional bureaucracy streamlining? He can say whatever he likes, actions are what I am looking for.
