Sad But True - Unemployment Losses/ Food Stamp Cuts/ Most Americans Don't Care [View all]

[TheMastersNemesis]

If you look at who cares about cutting food stamps and cutting unemployment benefits most Americans don't care as long as IT IS NOT THEM. The fact that voter turnout is so low and the GOP seldom suffers for its transgressions is very telling about our nation as a bunch of self absorbed bastards. I will best that most voters do not even know about the cuts. And too many probably approve. "Go to work" is their reply. In fact the GOP is actually rewarded for attacking the unemployed, the poor, the sick, the disabled and anyone else who does not make it in this new "Serengeti" economy. Survival of the fittest is the new reality for the US.

I can literally go down the street and talk to people and too many will complain about the "takers". The work hard for their little bit of money and resent having "socialist" politicians giving THEIR money to minorities and the underserving. How you get past that bad mantra stuck in their brain I do not know. All I know is that they vote GOP every time because of that belief.

The silence and complete lack of outrage over GOP monstrosities is just so disappointing. We are still moving backward into the abyss. The fact that the GOP will likely win elections in 2014 when they should lose by wide margins is hard to understand.
