1. Preserve social security with import tariffs, two birds with one stone...

One thing is for certain no-one wants the GOP who will get rid of it forever as well as pledges to end Medicare in the bargain too. The only way to lose collectively from here is to not turn up in November.

2. Dear President Obama

You have two choices. Remain timid and have the republicans usurp power in the house, or call them out for what they are and gain seats. The choice is yours. You can do it!

4. Mr. Obama.. Honor the American Worker.. the answer is easy...

Call off your attack-dog Cat-Food commission.

Lower Social Security retirement age... tax cheap chinese junk coming into this country.

Build American-Buy American.

5. Its a little too late.

The Middle Class proved to be their own worst enemy. They bought management's propaganda that unions were their enemy, right to work laws an assurance of employment, tariffs were bad for the economy, and unfair trade laws the golden road to a healthy economy. Management took real good care of them. Their jobs were outsourced, their pensions cut and health insurance canceled.

Now we have the present Democratic administration launching an assault on the teachers and blaming the teacher unions for failing schools. The students who are failing are the victims of poverty that breeds a host of ills. Their real enemies are those who opposed any attempt to break th cycle of poverty that was led by Reagan in his racist charges of "welfare queens" driving Cadillacs. The students enemies are not their teachers. It is the greedy bastards that have opposed every attempt to break this cycle that is rooted in nation's crime of slavery. Indeed, you reap what you sow.
