Are Progressives Losing Touch With Reality?

Thursday, December 16, 2010


3 million foreclosur­es to date since this meltdown began; 11 million more are in the pipeline. That's 15 million families about to lose their homes.   

This is going to spur new rounds of firings, foreclosur­es. Unemployme­nt went up last month to 9.8%.  Obama just finished negotiatin­g the NAFTA-like treaty with S. Korea; more Americans' jobs will be outsourced overseas.  Obama's deal doesn't include the 99ers, and only half of the states carry unemployed for 99 weeks.

The payroll tax 'holiday' is setting Social Security up for its end.  It's what Bush and Grover Norquist planned, and why Bush thinks he'll be vindicated as a great conservati­ve in history -- For ending the Great Society programs, by having bankrupted the nation so there's no way to pay out those benefits.  I saw and wrote about this years ago, as did oithers.  How could anybody not?

The economy isn't improving, it's getting worse. What Obama's doing is presiding over the end game of America, and letting the 'Haves' pick the (our) bones clean.
