Reply #45: Politics measure the speed of the destruction of the working American [View All]

Faster under Republicans, slower under Democrats, but the direction has been consistent for 30 years.
The Repubs go for it - Iraq invasion, attempt to privatize Social Security, ignoring Wall Street malfeasance
Dems do it by bits and pieces in "deals" or "compromises" - NAFTA, DOMA, Glass Steagall repeal, China MFN, welfare "reform", legalizing bucket shops, refusing to regulate derivatives etc.

But the result is utterly predictable in the Potemkin village known as Washington DC.
Those in the Green Zone behind the cut-outs work for capital, against labor, at all times.
