More "Loonacy", from the "Right, as expected.
Absolutely well said and thoughtful. I can't understand what's wrong with these rightists. I think they simply never take time to look at the facts like we do...For example;
According to the Library of Congress, for the period January 1931 to January 2015 Socialist Democrats have held majority and/or supermajority control of congress and the presidency for 67 of those years. That's about 78% of the total time, rounded off. For 40 of those years the president was Democrat with majority Democrat House and Senate (quasi super majority).
And just look at what we have done in that time and with that dominance...
Our education system ranks about 15th in the developed world.
Higher education debt is now past $1 trillion...while colleges and universities raise tuitions and other costs linearly with available government funding (again, taxpayers should be happy) anyones son or daughter can get a degree in say, ' 500 B.C. Cave Drawings of the Mikkenmoo Tribe of Central Brazil ' opening the door to a $300 thousand management job right out of school.
Our national infrastructure cost are finally under control...we don't allow frivolous spending on things like roads and bridges...We have managed this tightly for over 40 years.
Our welfare system now encompasses more than one-third of our population, and growing. More people than ever are getting exactly what they have coming to them.
Our entire government is unionized and in a position to hold these uppity tax payers feet to the fire for a 'living wage' and lifetime benefits. Just because the taxpayer does not get these benefits is no reason to punish our government workers. This was of course accomplished by Democrat presidents looking out for the people..Huge wins for us...
We have installed the largest tax in the history of man in the guise of free health care...And we were right; the Supreme Court said so...so there.
We are very close to implementing the ultimate tax under the guise of c*****e c****e; taxation of such magnitude that even we cannot estimate it's total value. That it will brings pain and misery to the people is unquestionable; well, that's the price of saving the planet.
We print $60-75 billion/month (just shy of a trillion dollars annually) in 'Quantitative Easing' and give it to the central bank who in turn give it to the lower banks who in turn loan it to rich people on Wall Street. At the same time we have managed the interest returns the average man can make on his savings to under 2%. This is a great system for a) getting a lot of that new money to flow back to our cause and b) buy v**es. A strategy the right will never understand.
We have finally pissed all over these stupid Israelis (can I get a Praise Allah?); about time. And we have finally told our so called allies that they are on their own and most significantly we have reached out to the Muslim World. We are very close to peace in the middle east; something the right could never accomplish.
We are ending the argument about the right of a sovereign country like Iran to have nuclear weapons if they want them. Who are we to dictate what they do? And this will of course bring all the other middle eastern countries into the nuclear world when they develop their own weapons. Balance means peace...again, a concept beyond the neanderthal right...
We have stopped all this wasteful spending on the military. We have gutted the military -industrial complex. We have removed all the experience from the senior ranks of the military and replaced them with people who think as we do. We are the only ones who understand that you don't need an army when you have full command of diplomatic options. We have John Kerry...(or 'Pickle Man' as Theresa affectionately refers to him).
The land of the free and home of the brave is now open to all people...something righties don't understand. We are opening the doors to them to come in their millions...never mind silly laws made by paranoid white people 200 years ago. Just get those future vot...oops...citizens in here and get them on the dol....oops again, and feed and educate them. What are taxes for after all? Its the 'right' thing to do...
We have established racial understanding...
Of course we could go on and on with these examples of progress we, the Democrat Party, have made single handedly when we have control. What could we do if we could just get these stupid, pesky righties out of the way once and for all?
Go Hilary...lets finish the job.
