May 2012

Obama has made very many important reforms. For example, the Dodd-Frank Act is a blockbuster, it will prevent banks from ever again losing billions of taxpayer-backed dollars in crazy gambling schemes.

Oh wait...

Well, in any case, Obama's proposals to cut Social Security benefits and raise the eligibility age for Medicare will save a fortune for the 1%. As will the massive austerity program that will start 1/1/2013. Doesn't that count for *something*?

You people are never happy. Haters gotta hate, I guess.

Sincerely yours,

Third-Way Manny.
