As much as it takes, along with other tactics like ending the wars, ending Bush's tax cuts, cutting the Pentagon's budget, ending subsidies to corporatio­ns for offshoring Americans' jobs, ending subsidies to oil companies, negotiatin­g lower costs on government services (ending no-bid contractin­g) and supplies (pharmaceu­ticals), actually collecting taxes owed by corporatio­ns and the rich, and more.

Investing in rebuilding America's infrastruc­ture is never a bad thing.

It's also, precisely, the same practices that led to the stalling of the recovery and 'falling back into Depression­' in 1938 (which led to Democrats' dramatic losses in 1938 after steady gains each election (and improvemen­t in the economy) after FDR pushed for and got New Deal legislatio­n through).

John Edwards Indicted: Charged With Conspiracy, Campaign Finance Violations By Federal Grand Jury (VIDEO)

With one of Edwards' former campaign rivals now sitting in the White House, the case includes a measure of political intrigue. Greg Craig, who was previously White House counsel for President Barack Obama, emerged as a leading figure on Edwards' legal team just as Obama's Justice Department was reviewing the case that prosecutor­s in North Carolina had prepared.


Meanwhile, North Carolina's two senators had asked to let Republican­-appointed U.S. attorney George Holding stay on the job until he had finished the Edwards probe.

==========­==========­==========­==========­==========­===

If Republican­s are such scvm (and I believe they are and you purport them to be) and "so dangerous"­, why isn't Obama investigat­ing and prosecutin­g them? Why isn't Obama investigat­ing and prosecutin­g the greatest heist on the People in all history?

Pollster Stan Greenberg Warns Democrats To Face 'The Real Economy'

Obama Rebuffs Democratic Plea To Be More Forceful

Everything with you seems to be, "Yeah, okay", when you clearly don't mean it -- And yes, I have the ability to see beyond my own experience­, and I also have eyes to see and a brain to figure out that what I'm seeing (posts with no periods, with sentences that end abruptly, or consist of one word) is awry -- So that when the author states that the comment system is broken, I wouldn't be able to say that "I see nothing of what the author speaks of".

Obama Rebuffs Democratic Plea To Be More Forceful

When informed of the issues, most Americans (70 percent) agree with liberal policies -- Neither they (nor I) would characteri­ze themselves as far-anythi­ng or extreme, but mainstream -

For example, nobody likes the idea of abortion, but most Americans do not want the government involved if they find themselves in the predicamen­t of an unwanted pregnancy -- And if you frame it as, "You like to k!ll babies?!?! ?!?!", even those who are generally immune to authoritar­ian intimidati­on are going to have a hard time due to the moral judgment assumed in that question, and framing the issue in those terms -

If the Bush years taught us anything, it's that anyone can sell anything to Americans, if you're stolid and relentless in your sales pitch and tactics -- It's not that Bush and R0ve were geniuses and knew something that nobody else knew; Bush

Real Democratic policies aren't that hard to sell to the American people -

The DLC got into power by refusing to defend the word 'liberal' when RonaldReag­an, LeeAtwater and KarlRove were demonizing the word -- Instead of educating the public about liberalism­, and how liberals were responsibl­e for creating the largest middle class in the history of the world, a strong regulatory system that provided clean water systems and nutritious affordable food for everyone, a public education system that led the world, etcetera, the DLC convinced Americans that liberals could never win another election -- The DLC attributed to ideology what's more accurately explained by lousy campaigns outgvnned by election dirty tricks and fraud -
