Where is the COMMON SENSE??? Ignoring History and Keep on |
|
doing the same old things and we expect a different outcome??????
People with any smarts at all have figured out that the Conservative Economic Fundamentalism (FREE MARKET PRINCIPLES adopted during the Reagan Adm. and enforced and enhanced by every President since Reagan have led us to this Great Recession. Tax Cuts(starve the beast) Deregulation to the point that the Banksters gambled away our wealth and Unmanaged Free Trade(structurally damaged our economy). Yes, a Trade Policy may create a few job in short term--it is not long until all the jobs are lost because the Business relocates overseas.
Knowing this please think about : DLC Third Way are Republican Lite. I am not being mean. It is true. WE EXPECT REPUBLICAN LITE to turn the catastrophe around. We have been run by DLC, Third Way and Conservative Blue Dogs for the past 3 years. Are we surprised the results if any are slow????
No I am not saying go back and do exactly what FDR did. I am saying that there are lessons to be learned. Those who ignore history are bound to repeat it.
Being cautious and putting a little crumb here and there to try to pacify Liberals actually seems to do more harm than good.
Will we continue on losing our Democracy and Middle Class or are there some Leaders somewhere who will attempt to "right the ship???
