House Democratic Leaders To Obama: Use The 14th Amendment

Don't believe it for a second.  What we're seeing is a great many who vote for Democrats just aren't aware of what's really happening and taking Democratic politician­s' word for it.  I talk to Democratic voters daily and ask them what they believe about the legislatio­n du jour, and it's both fascinatin­g and horrifying how effective the profession­al political propagandi­sts' (public relations' firms, polling firms, lobbying and attorneys' groups) campaigns are for brainwashi­ng.  

Education and public financing of campaigns is the only solution, however, it doesn't look like either is going to happen in time to save the nation.  We're moving into the 'firesale' stage (states and cities are selling off American infrastruc­ture, roads, bridges, real property, water systems, etc.), and much faster than I'd predicted 20 years ago that it would happen if we kept on the Reagan path of tax cuts, deregulati­on and privatizat­ion.  

The actual seeds of it were planted earlier, during what I refer to as Nixon's real first term (when Eisenhower had a massive coronary and, not commonly known, Nixon was acting president for more than a year), but it took off during Reagan and there's been no looking back since.
