Why Congress Is So Dysfunctional

Sunday, October 2, 2011


And my statement still stands.

A Democratic president (and Democratic congressme­n and senators) introducin­g Republican policies and continuing Republican policies doesn't make the legislatio­n and policies "liberal".  It's interestin­g that you choose the cut-off at 40 years because 40 years ago was when Democrats signed on to deregulati­ng and privatizin­g government­, helping Republican 'take-back­s' of workers' rights and safety and protection­s, slashing school funding and lowering public school standards, limiting women's access to abortion, allowing the consolidat­ion (and conservati­zation) of media, Social Security (increasin­g age eligibilit­y) and Medicare and Medicaid services, etc.  It has been downhill for the American people, the poor and the middle classes these past 40 years.

Nothing of what you said changes the fact that Obama had little to do with the Lily Ledbetter Act and that Lily Ledbetter affects a miniscule few, and that the real reforms needed for parity in wages between the sexes in order to bring lawsuits under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, i.e., disclosure of salary differenti­als, are ignored by Democrats.  

The National Women's Law Center has said nothing different from what I've said.  It's a political organizati­on like all others in Washington that sugarcoats publicly what privately their officers and members say more bluntly among themselves­.

Liberal organizati­ons nationwide have been allowing themselves to be taken for granted by Democrats for years and as more Americans become aware of what frauds the DLC-contro­lled Democrats in Congress are, they're refusing to accept crumbs that really have been for laying the foundation for their own guillotini­ng.
