(32,324 posts)In the WH, and for the first five years of his time in office, all we heard when we offered criticisms was that he had to do what he was doing on account of howCongress needs 60 plus votes on everything.

The guy is to the right of Ronald Reagan. I mean, when David Stockman, economic adviser to friggin' Reagan, was on C Span about six months ago, he thought the Disaster Capitalism policies of Bernanke and Geithner were beyond comprehension - far beyond what Reagan's people were attempting to do.
And many in the public are far more concerned about Granny getting a Social Security check
for $ 600 each month, and their neighbor "ripping off the system" on account of applying for food stamps, than the Biggest Financial Firms in the world getting trillions of Main Street's dollars.
However, with the Republican Party's candidates being far worse on social issues, I guess we have to be thankful for what we have.
