My friends, I was wrong.

[woo me with science]

2. They. Don't. Care.

It is an OUTRAGE.

Over a MILLION American schoolchildren homeless.

SECOND HIGHEST CHILD POVERTY RATE in the developed world....better only than ROMANIA.

Middle class DEVASTATED. Inequality INCREASING. Wealth of billionaires DOUBLED since 2009.


This is a much bigger national emergency than 9/11. 9/11 was considered urgent. We got speeches, bullhorns, national days of observance, urgent new legislation, And an entire new way of life.

This is BIGGER. And what do we get from Washington?????? Any urgency whatsoever? Anything even APPROACHING the urgency of 9/11. No. We get nonchalance. Actually, we don't even get nonchalance. We get active protection of the thieves and we get our own government, under a DEMOCRATIC President, targeting those who protest the theft.

Why?

Because it wasn't a recovery. It was a restructuring. Not only are there no urgent plans on the horizon to address and reverse and punish this theft, we are on track for the most predatory "free trade" agreement in history, that will force Americans to compete with workers in Third World countries, kill jobs, reduce wages for over 90 percent of American workers, restrict freedom on the internet, make obtaining life-saving medications more difficult and more expensive, and allow multinational corporations to sue for profits and overrule national decisions on everything from wages to regulations for environment and safety.

We are under ASSAULT by our own government, both parties.

We have been bought and sold to banks and corporations.
