Obama and Biden are Reagan Democrats and could care less
about the American people, Social Security and Medicare. Any programs for the poor and middle class are
just bargaining chips to them.
We have a government run by people who have used their
positions in government to become incredibly wealthy, and used those positions
to ensure only the incredibly wealthy could run for government. The longtime democrats in leadership like
Harry Reid and Chuck Schumer are responsible for the breakdown in our
government.
They hide behind the façade of being Democrats, whose main
goal is to save Social Security and Medicare but their goal is far from
it. They are at the ready to throw
social programs on the table as bargaining chips.
After all, it was Chuck Schumer who was front and center to
repeal Glass-Steagall and pushed the Gramm Leach Bliley Bill and Ted Kennedy
that sold out public schools to Bush’s “No Child Left Behind”. Our election system has become so corrupt
with corporate ownership of the airwaves, press and political parties that only
those candidates committed to keeping the status quo are allowed to run on the
party ticket.
These people were the same ones who obstructed the Clintons ’
attempt to provide universal healthcare for all during Bill Clinton’s
Administration. These Senators ensured
Hillary Clinton would not ascend to the Democratic Candidacy for
president.
Had Hillary Clinton, after winning over 18 million votes
from Nevada to Puerto Rico, been allowed to run on the Democratic ticket after
winning the Democratic Primary, we would have had universal healthcare, full
employment and the perpetrators of the biggest bank scam in the history of the
world, would have been frog-walked out of Wall Street into prison where they
belong.
Can you imagine what it would have done to the economy and
to the job market if healthcare were government guaranteed like Social Security
and Medicare? What if employers had that
extra money they now must spend on healthcare to hire more employees? What if people had universal healthcare so
they could start their own business?
Over and over these Senators cited that the failure of the Clintons
to provide universal healthcare was due to their failure to defer the
legislation to the Senate. They hated
Bill Clinton, especially after he forced them to back him on raising taxes on
the wealthy, passing a balanced budget and creating 22 million new jobs. They impeached him for it and would have
removed him from office were it not for his popularity with the American
people.
During the 2008 campaign Joe Lieberman, who was hated by
Democrats, lost his Democratic primary to Ned Lamont, an FDR Democrat. Ted Kennedy, Chuck Schumer, Chris Dodd,
Barack Obama and all the Reagan Democrats refused to support the democratically
elected primary candidate, Ned Lamont.
They all went to Connecticut
and campaigned for Lieberman on the Lieberman Party ticket, rather than the
democrat.
The same happened to Joe Sestack when he ran against Arlen Specter. He was warned not to run for the Senate, that the Party backed Republican Arlen Specter who lost the Republican Primary. The Democrats refused to support Sestack and elected Pat Toomey, a Republican. These “Democrats” are out for themselves and should be shunned.
When Al Franken beat Norm Coleman in Minnesota , the Democrats refused to recognize his win, and he was on his own without help from the Democratic Party to financially face a Republican requested recount. Coleman had tons of money endowed on him, but he lost in spite of the Democratic Party refusing to help Franken.
But the Democrats preserve their incumbent losers and hobble
the real democrats and ensure they hold no chairmanships on committees. Congress doesn’t care what the American people think, the people do not control who is in office. That is controlled by the two parties and billionaires like the Koch Brothers. Make no mistake about it, this was done to us by the New Democratic Party of Biden and Obama.
Every liberal candidate has had to win without democratic
support, from Elizabeth Warren to Sherrod Brown. They represent true hope for America .
Wall Street laundered almost a billion dollars into the
Obama campaign after he was the first candidate ever, of any party to refuse
public financing. Their campaign
contributions ensured there would be no prosecutions on Wall Street and no universal
healthcare.
The shutdown in government has been sanctioned by both
parties so that they can put tremendous pain on the American people. Obama and Biden gave away the farm with the
sequestration followed by the government shutdown. Make no mistake, the sequester was Obama’s
idea and occurred upon his insistence.
Now, after all the pain sequestration has wreaked on the
American people in less pay, less benefits and huge loses in income and
security, loss of jobs and loss of homes, the parties are planning to let the
debt ceiling fall in.
That means, no Social Security, Medicare, VA Benefits, no
unemployment or any type of assistance will take place after October 17th. Non-essential government and contractor
employees were the canaries in the coal mine.
The American people will be so beaten down they will accept
whatever crumbs the parties decide to give the American people in the form of
cuts to all benefits that they have earned and paid for.
In Rupert Murdoch’s “Wall Street Journal” Paul Ryan has
penned an Op Ed. Paul Ryan who was able
to go to college and whose family was supported by Social Security after his
father died, wants to end Social Security for other families that may find
themselves in the same circumstances.
Ryan wants cuts to Social Security and Medicare, kind of like destroying
the village to save it.
"Just
as a good investment gets higher returns through compound interest, structural
reforms produce greater savings over time," Ryan wrote. "Most
important, they make the programs more secure. They protect them for current
seniors and preserve them for the next generation. That's what the president
and Congress should talk about."
Ryan uses the same logic that Franklin Roosevelt warned us
about.
The Koch Brothers agenda that they have their Tea Party
politicians promoting are as follows:
Their demands now include a one-year delay of the health
care law, fast-track authority to overhaul the tax code, construction of the
Keystone XL oil pipeline, offshore oil and gas production, more permitting of
energy exploration on federal lands, a rollback of regulations on coal ash,
blocking new Environmental Protection Agency regulations on greenhouse gas
production, eliminating a $23 billion fund to ensure the orderly dissolution of
failed major banks, eliminating mandatory contributions to the new Consumer
Financial Protection Bureau, limits on medical malpractice lawsuits and an
increase in means testing for Medicare, among other provisions.
Speak up America.
