MATT TAIBBI: The Democratic Party Would TRIANGULATE Its Own Mother

44. Nice Distillation Matt

I'm shocked the apologists/operatives, not hard to spot, aren't defending Obama and triangulation.

Triangulation has led to the ruin of millions, who are now competing for jobs with foreigners who will work for peanuts. Ross Perot was crazy about a lot of things, but he nailed it in 1992 with his "giant sucking sound" statement. It happened to me. I did not need the job but for awhile I worked part time at Lexis Nexis. After a year they moved all this jobs to the Caribbean because they could pay those people 1.00 an hour or whatever. Multiply that by millions, most of whom were dependent on those jobs.

Somehow now the barometer of how well we're doing is how Wall Street is doing, not Main Street.

I'm hoping Bernie Sanders gets enough traction to get his message out, and he may. You would think some of the gilded set would think about a few things. One is this: Even an old Nazi sympathizer like Henry Ford came to realize he had to pay his workers enough to buy his cars. A rising tide does lift all boats.

Right now a large percentage either can't go to college or will rack up huge debts to do it. People are also bankrupted by our obscene for profit health care system. That won't happen in any other industrialized country but hey, we love our freedoms, freedoms to die both sick and broke. American Exceptionalism, oh yeah, but in a bad way.
