It had support from both parties, I was really naive and trusted politicians to protect things like wages and social security and jobs.

I was way off.

In reality, less than half of our Democratic legislators back workers, unions, benefits, and a sustainable domestic economy.

The rest are in bed with businesses and short-term economic goals.

Dammit.
