and then putting in place trickle-down policies a failed economic system that has been in place ever since except for the robust Clinton years. And if you doubt that trickle-down has killed our economy over time, just look at the dire straits Kansas is in right now with Brownback's failed trickle-down experiment.
And even with Obama in the White House repug obstructionism has reigned.
Want evidence of that other than government shutdowns, no jobs bills from "Jobs, jobs, jobs spouting Boehner and all the jobs shipped overseas by Romney and others like him, remember this:
"On January 20, 2009, the night when the Obama's were attending inaugural balls and most Americans were out celebrating the end of the Bush years, a group of powerful Republicans was planning the end of Obama presidency before it even got going.
At the Caucus Room restaurant right here in Washington, DC - GOP leaders drew up a plan to intentionally sabotage Obama at every point possible. The whole thing was orchestrated by Republican propaganda mastermind Frank Luntz and over the course of four hours, a group of the most powerful conservative lawmakers in the country committed to a plan of action.
They promised each other that they would filibuster and obstruct any and all legislation supported by the new President, Barack Obama. They would do everything possible, for as long as it took, to make his a "failed presidency." On the guest list for this invitation only meeting were Republican Senators like Jim DeMint, Jon Kyl, Tom Coburn, John Ensign and Bob Corker. Also in attendance were Congressmen Paul Ryan, Pete Sessions, Jeb Hensarling, Pete Hoekstra, Dan Lungren and - you guessed it - Eric Cantor and Kevin McCarthy."

So you see, there once was time one worker could support a family but Republicans set out to change that 40 years ago and we have the results now. Just think if they had actually worked to help the country instead of helping the one-percenters make more and more money while at the same time trying to destroy Clinton and Obama.
