If Hillary's initial ad is any indication of where her interests are, the death spiral the middle-class is in will continue.

She presented a comprehensive list of every group within the Democratic party. She hit them all, even our pets, but absent was big labor. Not a single tip of the hat to unions was in the ad. The only group that can break Wall Street and the Walmarting of America were excluded from her platform. A group that has been loyal to Democrats to a fault appears to be no longer included in the future of the Democratic Farmer Labor (DFL) party.

This is a dire indication of how serious Hillary is about tackling the biggest challenge of our time - wealth inequality. If she does not clear up this "oversight" fast, proceed with caution.

The following is a DU piece posted a few weeks back. It looks more accurate today than ever:


Hillary could be the final nail in the middle-class coffin.

Her plan: She is testing her popularity with women and minorities. If she feels social issues can get her elected, she will ignore labor other than some patronizing blather. She is testing her support now, if she calculates it is strong enough and feels she can win without labor, unions will be deftly brushed aside. If this works out for her, she can win the election and not make promises to the economic-minded left - dooming the middle-class.

What many need to realize is the Republicans and New Democrats (Third Way) have the same economic goal in mind - recreate the U.S. with a tiny middle-class. Social issues are decoys used to fight for and decide who gains the White House. This explains why social issues are moving forward while labor issues are going backward.

The bottom line is Paul Ryan (Milton Friedman disciple) is pushing devastating policy for the working classes. Meanwhile, behind the scenes, advancing policy for the democrats is Larry Summers. There is very little daylight between these two multi-nationalists. They both view the middle-class as an inefficient relic from a bygone past with huge legacy issues. They aim to correct this "problem" by slashing wages, Social Security, Medicare, etc. What about infrastructure spending? Hell no, that would assume the U.S. has a future. They view a strong middle-class as a major mistake, an historic aberration that needs to be returned to its rightful place. Remember, neo-liberals and neo-cons believe in Thomas Friedman's the flat earth philosophy - we must level the global playing field. In other words, Americans make too much money. That said, we have not hit bottom, yet.

In ten years the cake will be baked. Members of the “extreme left” will gain no satisfaction in saying, “We told you so.”
