Panetta blasts defense cuts

51. IMO, it is budgetary nonsense whether public or private sector.

As for team Obama and the democratic congress-people, at least they usually say they want to help the 99% but yes actions speak louder than words. Again, at least they are saying the words. We know through actions and words that the gop are only concerned with the 1%. So, here I go AGAIN, holding my nose, voting democratic and hoping that we can get back on the path of the New Deal.
I know, as do many, that unless we get back on that path, our country is doomed and the suffering will be intolerable for the 99%.
Capitalism, while designed as an (unfair) economic system, has become our form of governance also.
The term "Democratic Socialism" has been perverted by most of the countries that have claimed that moniker. If we actually stuck to the real definition of the term and based our country accordingly, we would have a fair political and economic system. If we would even re-install the tenants of the New Deal (that saved our economy and created our middle class) and follow up by adopting FDR's "2nd Bill of Rights," America could regain much of it's former glory and we would have a reason to be proud.
Following the path that we currently are on, guarantees the end of America, sooner rather than later.
