Mar 2013

The Dems are going to spend much of their political capital on feelgood gun legislation,
and ignore The Banks, overbloated military budget, US infrastructure, privatization of US public schools,
erosion of citizen rights (other than with guns), Labor Unions' eroding power, Keystone Pipeline problems, Fracking,
threats to pensions, etc etc etc

The gun issue will give the Dems the excuse that they've done something.

But I'll bet little progress will be made on economic, and other Public issues, that affect most people.

Just keep your eye on the "money issues" and think: Cui bono?
