Oh - you mean the savers that are putting their money in a savings account and NOT the stock market? God damn this shit is rich.
Higher food prices... Obama's RFS program diverting 39 million acres of farmland to ethanol production. Not Obama's program? Well fuck, he can end it can't he?
Growing income gap... rather than enact economic policies that actually foster job growth, Obama throws 58 billion of our dollars onto the market each month while record numbers of Americans enroll in food stamps, unemployment benefits, and disability. Wrong on soooo many levels.
March of the jobs... Bring 'em back, Barry. You know what you have to do. Quit sitting with your thumb up your ass. Do nothing mo fo.
Restored payroll tax... WTF it's bring more money into the U.S. Treasury. What the fuck you bitching about? As if 2% of anyone's income is going to make a difference anyway?
Hard to get home loans... Oh yeah, let's go back to the days of the sub-prime "loan to anyone who's not horizontal" program. Fuck that shit.
Missed market gains... Of households making $35,000 and $75,000 a year, only 50% are invested in stocks? I'd say that's pretty damn decent. Since when is 50% of anything a mandate?
401K shortcomings... fee? OMG there are FEES? What kind of lame shit is this anyway?
Syrocketing cost of college... What the fuck ISN'T skyrocketing under this sorry as excuse for a President? We should send everyone to college for free? Fuck it-why not.
High gas prices... Don't even fucking get me started.
Low interest rates... "Punishes savers"?
Page 12... "what do you think". I think this is boorish bullshit brought to us by someone with a $164 million dollar portfolio. And BLAMING it on the GOP.
'A thriving middle class is the sign of a healthy national economy' - Something I've been writing for years.
10 ways the middle class is still getting squeezed- MSN Money

10 ways the middle class is still getting squeezed- MSN Money
The middle class is getting squeezed because companies have been relying on untrained labor to perform menial tasks, and have been paying a premium over and above the value of the actual value of the work. That balance is shifting, With the development of automation, and new ways to manufacture, and transport, goods, companies are shifting away from a labor intensive process, and paying people less while getting more at the end of the process.
This is not an indication that each individual is working harder, anyone that has ever shoveled coal into a boiler for 8 hours a day would scoff at the notion that an assembly line worker is working hard, so there has to be another explanation in the increase in productivity. Technology is probably going to eliminate the middle class as the backbone of the economy in the future, just like it eliminated the farmer as the backbone of the economy in the past. There will still be a middle class, but they won't be what keeps the economy alive, they will be the young adults that haven't established themselves, or the people who choose to live a simpler life.
Believe it or not, society will not fall down around your ears as a result. The only people that will suffer are the ones that refuse to adapt. You claim to be a progressive, embrace change. You are reacting out of fear, recognize it, adapt, and grow. Stop fighting, there is no reason to be afraid.
Thank conservatives, the middle class is still getting squeezed
This should be conspiracy theory forum
How do you cleanly debate a lie?

Conservative policies and and ideas generated through corporate supported so called think tanks are creating a mindset that is counter to the American dream and America's values. Money manages America today and the money is about anti tax, anti worker, anti government, anti unions, etc. America's best years for all the people may be behind us as we transition to a third world nation of no manufacturing and outsourced work. Nafta and now the TPP are putting another nail in the coffin of the working class. While conservatives are primarily to blame, blame must also go all segments of our society. Libertarian nonsense is also at fault with its fantasy of free markets and individualism as solutions to complex global issues.

"The rise of conservative politics in postwar America is one of the great puzzles of American political history. For much of the period that followed the end of World War II, conservative ideas about the primacy of the free market, and the dangers of too-powerful labor unions, government regulation, and an activist, interventionist state seemed to have been thoroughly rejected by most intellectual and political elites. Scholars and politicians alike dismissed those who adhered to such faiths as a "radical right," for whom to quote the Columbia University historian Richard Hofstadter politics "becomes an arena into which the wildest fancies are projected, the most paranoid suspicions, the most absurd superstitions, the most bizarre apocalyptic fantasies." How, then, did such ideas move from their marginal position in the middle years of the twentieth century to become the reigning politics of the country by the century's end?"

It is so sad that, despite your obvious willingness to read, you refuse to learn.
