If it wasn't for labor both reagan and trump would not be where they are.

6. The question is how many times does it take before they realize they are hurting themselves? Wasn't

Reagan bad enough, and after bush it should have been obvious that the disdain republicans have for labor

8. when the full effect of Trump's policies are felt, and the economy is wrecked..

and a Democrat has to fix things, only for a Republican to come in after and take credit because the fixing wasn't fast enough, we'll see history repeating ? over and over?

11. Don't f**king rewrite history. It was the republican policies and deregulation that caused the

economic collapse. Are they that dense that they have no concept about the S&L implosion, the record deficits, and everything else that occurred to bring us to our knees in 2000


I hope they enjoy their catestrophic health insurnance, along with the destruction of social security and medicare

12. Had a feeling this was a lurker JHan. When they start quoting R/W BS and false information, you

know what you are dealing with

10. That is bullshit, and right out of the RW playbook. When Obama became President the republicans

imploded the economy, and almost drove the country into the second great depression. Not only did he save the AMERICAN AUTO INDUSTRY, but in spite of the economic disaster and jobs lost under the previous administration, and the obstruction from the republicans through all 8 years of his presidency, created jobs, that trump tried to take credit for

Ask carrier where all the jobs are that trump saved.

As far as "they don't care about "social issues"? You mean the social issues like social security and medicare.

As far as I am concerned they they are looking for a rationalization to justify why they voted for a racist, sexist, bigot, because that is the bottom line.

Next time this happens, and it will, I will remember this

Sometimes people deserve exactly what happens to them

13. Labor is where the buying power is

When our buying power crumbles they lose.

You don't need to have a degree in economics to figure it out. When nobody goes to a store, the store closes.

Bush and Trump got too much handed to them.

14. You are right. Jobs were created and growing under the Democrats and Obama. That

is a fact. We had just come out of the worst economic implosion since the great depression

Labor was conned by Reagan in 1980, and voted against him in 1984 for the most part. Looks like the same thing will happen with trump.

I would like to think that labor has learned something from this, and while the Democratic party has made mis-steps with labor, there was always a dialog, and labor was always part of the conversation

The objective of the republican party since regan was to destroy unions. That is no secret

15. All labor has to do is look at its own history
