At first I was dismissive of your reply. Upon momentary reflection I reconsidered it and then agreed with you. I would love for this woman to rise to the top of your Progressive Party's example of their icon for balance and intellect.

How was it ever possible to insult Obama? Words to adequately describe that evil man are restricted from mankind's use and reserved for the Deity to be used at Obama's final judgment. Warning: Do not imitate Obama!

One thing about it, you can't blame Missouri for the result, which must have been bad for the Progressives because McCaskill voted against it. But note that the Missouri Senators voted in opposition and cancelled Missouri's effective vote, as usual. At any rate, there are a lot of things that could be done to Medicare and Medicaid to improve them, like making it conform to the Constitution, and the tax cuts will affect many more than just the so-called "1%". Wealthy people are necessary to the survival of the country; ever get a job offer from a poor person? We need to get jobs back into the country.

51 GOP Senators Just Voted To Cut $1.5 Trillion from Medicare and Medicaid To Give Super-Rich and Corporations a Tax Cut
The Republican budget, declared Sen. Sanders after its passage, "is not a bad bill. It's a horrific bill."


Along strict party lines, the Republican-controlled Senate on Thursday night voted to pass a sweeping budget measure—one criticized as both "despicable" and "horrific" for providing massive giveaways to corporations and the super-rich while eviscerating funding for social programs, healthcare, education, and affordable housing.

"Another dark deed done: GOP passes obscene budget to slash Medicare/Medicaid & explode the deficit – all in the name of tax cuts for the 1%."
—Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Oregon)The measure passed by 51-49 vote, with only one Republican, Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, joining every Democrat and the chamber's two Independents who voted against it. Its approval now paves that way for massive tax giveaways to the wealthy and corporations envisioned by President Donald Trump and the GOP in both the House and the Senate.

"51 Republican Senators just voted to cut Medicaid by $1 trillion and Medicare by $500 billion so that millionaires and corporations can get a tax cut. It's immoral and despicable," said TJ Helmstetter, a spokesperson for Americans for Tax Fairness, in a statement immediately following the vote.


Though the budget resolution itself is nonbinding, MoveOn.org's Ben Wikler notes how the Senate passage on Thursday represents the "starting gun for what might be the most consequential legislative fight of the Trump era: the looting of the U.S. treasury to reward billionaire GOP donors and mega-corporations, at the expense of the rest of us." And with the Senate resolution now in place, a reconciliation process can begin with Republicans in the House, meaning the GOP can "shoot for a tax bill without a single Democratic vote."

In the wake of its passage, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.)—who earlier this week called the proposal "Robin Hood in reverse" for taking from the poor to give to the rich— said the "Republicans' budget is not a bad bill. It's a horrific bill."


Sanders was far from alone in his outrage.

Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Oregon) called the vote a "dark deed" and urged people nationwide to stand up and fight back against what the budget represents:


Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), also vocal in her warnings ahead of the vote, condemned the budget put forth by her Republican colleagues as "garbage".

The United States lost 33,000 jobs in September as the economy took a hit from Hurricanes Harvey and Irma. It was the first monthly decline in jobs in seven years.
The jobless rate dropped to 4.2%, the lowest since 2001.
Economists had been expecting an increase of 90,000 jobs, even after accounting for the hurricanes. But the economists and Labor Department expect the decline to be short-lived as employers closed by the storm in Houston and Florida are able to reopen.


You're correct it was 4.8 after Obama left and has been slowly declining, it'll pick up during the holidays and then dump down again afterward.

Many local self-employed, (after all their payouts) are not wealthy and are more inclined to keep their money in the country, versus the wealthy taking tax cuts but send/spend their money out of the country.
