9. One thing to not minimize,

is the role of the corporate media, which is pretty much all of the M$M, unless you are listening to a few people on Sirius.

The corporate media gave us Trump, this thread is not so far fetched. Just passing a balanced budget agreement would devastate our democracy. With a balanced budget agreement there would only be tax dollars left for the military and the rich. I would like to know our nation's IQ, it has to be pretty low, we are so easily conned. We now have code words rather than rational debates, anything that benefits the poor and working class is Socialism, which we all know is very bad, just look at the country du jour, Venezuela, right?
