In reply to the discussion: ROBERT REICH: The American Dream Has Fallen Apart [View all]Glitterati
(3,182 posts)55. AMEN, Amen, Amen
I'm so sick of the Democrats playing political theater with the poor!!!!! Harry Reid and his unemployment votes are nothing more than the Democratic version of "Republicans vote 50 times to repeal Obamacare" using the poor and unemployment.
Political theater. Period.
And, Nancy Pelosi? She's simply MIA. All effort at being an opposition party is just MIA. Pelosi never even bothers to send out a press release. Talk about not caring!!!!!!!!
Yeah, I'm sick to death of this game played with the lives of the poor/sick/elderly/unemployed.
And THIS from Robert Reich? Don't make me laugh! After NAFTA and Glass Stegall, Robert Reich needs to slink away to some hole and never come out in public again.

One major theme should be that we don't need more jobs, we need better paying ones.
