Why Progressives Keep On Losing and the Right Keeps On Winning

To answer your initial question, no.



Absolutely true, stimulus money is working. It HAS been working, despite the nonsense the republican­s spout. But it's gone after this year and the President has fallen right in line with the republican­s in accelerati­ng our descent into third-worl­d status by cutting needed spending.



Tax cuts are useless to me. I have my first kid about to go off to college. I qualify for no aid at all, yet I live month to month. I could sell my house, but I'm sure I'd have to pay to get out of it, making it impossible to go to a different house. So the only option I have is to put the house up as collateral for loans that I MAY be able to pay off when I'm 80 and stay employed the whole time.



In short, I will be bankrupt, probably before I die. I make good money (no inheritanc­es, tho), but the minute I lose my job, I will be a statistic.



But enough of me! My son will surely enjoy a booming economy when he graduates, get meaningful employment­, and earn a decent living!



Right??



In short, I'm beyond "not optimistic­." I'm teabagger mad - only I have REAL reasons for it. And the solutions that are needed are relatively clear. Krugman, Stiglitz, Johnson, Reich, and many more have laid out well-resea­rched recommenda­tions. This President and Dems have become a disgrace. We're just postponing the inevitable at this point.
