Education, Social Services, nutrition programs for seniors & children, college loans, etc. as well as the underfunding of corporate regulatory agencies--like the EPA, SEC, BLM, etc...
Republicans always want HIGH unemployment--It helps corporations keeps wages lower, benefits down, (more people fighting for less jobs). It keeps the military ranks filled-- With no jobs (and less student loans) what's left?
With Bush's "never ending wars" of corporate imperialism and resource grabbing from weak countries, it keeps the American people hostage with bullshit fears of terrorist. Americans will go along with anything if promised safety. (When will the "throwing flowers at our troops" begin?) They don't want the war to end, fuck the troops, they are ONLY workers.
War is the perfect republican excuse and reason to cut and gut ALL domestic programs...while the corporations continue to get filthy rich through our tax dollars.
This has been all planned out-- fascist republican conservative ideology---right-wing "think tanks" for the past 60 years (with a lot of help from past Nazi propaganda and tactics).
The Republicans have ALWAYS hated and vowed to destroy FDR's liberal, "New Deal" and they are very close now, so close they can taste it.
Social Security-privatizing (under "small private investments" for workers retirement). Once they have their foot in the door with "small investments" it's over. The corporations will have control.
Education- with school vouchers meant to destroy the teachers unions and further "dumb down" America. While destroying UNIONS of every kind. They are almost there. Corporate owned schools?
Minimum wage-the republicans have made it basically a joke, they will never talk about it nor think about raising it, while keeping working people in poverty. So what, it helps the huge corporations like McDonald's and Walmart's (but the republicans always insist, publicly, they are trying to "protect the small businessman").
And the republican owned corporate media pounds the republican lies home 24/7-- Along with republican corporations owned electronic voting machines, it keeps Americans from really knowing the truth and our true numbers.
