The Democrats mouth great rhetoric about how they are for the middle-class, unions and the 99%. What they do is entirely different as they throw their base under the bus. What they gave us was NAFTA, de-regulation of banks and welfare reform. On top of this we have Obama waging illegal wars without Congress' approval and drone strikes and assassination of US citizens. When Wisconsin unions were fighting for their rights against a fascist governor, where was Obama? Now they are ready to cut entitlements at a time when the poor and elderly are most vulnerable. There won't be any cuts to military spending but Social Security will take a hit. If Obama is such a Progressive where is the New Deal that is so badly needed?John Taylornoreply@blogger.com
