1. It does seem

that Wall Street is doing pretty well while we are still hurting.

3. 'We' are in recovery.

7. The recovery is for the haves, we are to get ours in trickle down, just don't hold your breath /nt

[elleng]

10. The recovery is for all; the 'haves' already have,

which is why, of course, we've got to get rid of as many repugs in Congress as we can, so recovery can be timely and substantial.

11. The recovery is for all, but only a few are doing extremely better while ppl like me

are doing far worse every day.

Please don't blow sunshine up my ass, from down here we know who is recovering and who isn't.

I find it hard to suffer those that would ignore a reality because it is occurring to those outside their bubble.

As for Republicans, they and their policies (often adopted by the Third Way) have brought us to this state I agree, but if my party does not stop it with the Third Way trickle down let's hire Geitner bullshit, this will be my last election cycle supporting them after 35 YEARS.

2. Was gonna say that, in response to a post yesterday,

and I suspect they/it want rmoney to lose AND for the House to return to Dems.

4. True.

5. That's always been true yes

My dear ol Mom says the same and she's been around long enough to have seen that it's true - the economy and Wall St does better under Democrats.

As far as the rich, he seems to be nicely saying they're mostly a bunch of narcissists.

6. Not exactly a ringing endoresment of the democratic party for the working class IMO

About the best that can be said in that regard is that it blunts the GOP's attempt to equate the democratic party with "soshulism".

8. Krugman (whom I admire greatly) is just a little late to the game with this.

It's been posted here on DU since the very beginning about how the economy is significantly better under Democratic administrations than Republican ones.

9. A loaded gambling den called "Wall Street" does not an economy make.

Jeez, trickle down doesn't work, therefore Wall Street "success" means nothing much to most Americans anymore.
