My Good Babushka

1. Our family's source of income was lost

directly because of the Lehman Brothers collapse, then our mortgage modification application was purposely delayed, lost, and otherwise scrambled by CitiMortgage while we lost our home. Homeless with two babies is how the financial "shenanigans" left me, and it is outrageous and perverse for her to say it was our fault.

When Bill Clinton made the hyperbolic statement that Sanders supporters wanted to "shoot" Wall Street workers, I can hear what he's saying and I know exactly what that means. It means don't look for any accountability, any prosecutions or any reforms of the economic system. That they think it would be ridiculous to seek justice. They don't even want people to think of it. No one has been held accountable or prosecuted yet. It's one of the greatest moral failures of Obama's term, outside of expanding war operations, and the Clintons will remain the champions of this entrenched inequality. The inequality that kills people.
I have read the plan for the middle class, it consists of more tax cuts for the wealthy and a nebulous garbage cloud of "job training" ideas, which are mostly gifts for private "job training" businesses that take a large cut of cash and leave people nominally educated for jobs that don't exist, or are already being done cheaper, either overseas or by prison labor.
