money we could raise SS, MC for everyone, build new roads and bridges, give everyone a big raise and on and on. But, nooooo, now they want to cut everything and we are another trillion in debt.


I think they knew it all the time and lied.

friendly Grocery Cashier yesterday. If you want to really get the real story,you ask the real workers of any business. Long Story Short,average sales ticket numbers are sliding south bound. And this comes from the Grocery Retailer who does the highest dollars sales per square foot in the West.

PBS News Hour says that over the last seven years each month has seen a growth in jobs. This goes against what 45 kept on saying in the campaign that our Unemployment rat is going up. There is also a clip of 45 speaking at a conference somewhere "Everyone is happy". Clearly taking credit for something that President Obama did, not him.

It was to give more to the rich. Period. But the rubes are too stupid to realize they've been had.
