Reply #2: Getting nothing for the work [View All]

[realFedUp]

Let's see...in these latest budget negotiations, what actually was gained?
Right-wing talking points, political mailers sent out on both sides with their fear points.
No jobs, in fact, more will be lost with the budget cuts.
No higher taxes for the very wealthy or corporations who still hide profits offshore and don't pay taxes in the U.S.
More pandering and time wasting by politicians.
More airtime spent on explaining just what Planned Parenthood does (and that wasn't a bad thing, but shouldn't people know by now?)
Obama continuing to buckle under a noisy, seemingly stupid minority of people who don't know the facts.
The continuing absence of clear Democratic talking points, outside a few select pols and talking heads.

So, what was gained? Nothing for all that work. And much lost as will be seen.

Recall, educate, give them the facts in simple language they can understand.
