The Republicans are following the fascist playbook line for line. The epilog for this fiasco will be "While Americans
Slept, Their Freedoms Were Stolen Without a Shot. This generation's heritage that they will leave to their kids is that they sold them out to the plutocrats.

The future can be summed up in one statistic: during the height of the Industrial Revolution General Motors was the largest employer. The average pay was $30.00 per hour in todays dollars and workers had health care and a pension. The largest employer today is Walmart. The average pay is whopping $8.00 bucks an hour. Good luck kids. Much of today's economy is riding on the wealth accumulation of the workers of post war period that spanned about forty years and that is rapidly coming to a close.
