475. A 'Pub I knew told me that it would take a Dem admin to dismantle the New Deal.

Wed May 18, 2016, 02:52 PM

May 2016

Republicans couldn't do it or they'd be attacked immediately. To many overt radicals that can be voted against.

The New Deal is a Democratic program and built into the Democratic platform for over 30 years.

So, Wall Street and other financiers would have been stupid not to know that if they want to get back to the un-regulated Gilded Age, they would have to get there riding Democratic Party.

So, as long as there's an opening through the ability to "invest" in politics, the people with money are going to maintain their comfortable make-believe society on the backs of people who have to live in the real world with real world problems.

We the People lost when Daley and the MIC pulled the out their "Commie" cards and played the party against itself to ensure that George McGovern - a WWII veteran - became "unelectable" against Richard Nixon.
