To be concise, do you believe the US economy is working in favor anyone, save the billionaires? Your declarative statements are not clear without examples. It's like me stating something about Hilary being a nasty narcissist, sans, examples. Ok, Hilary is bad, so what? The people in their lives, swirl around our tiny argument here, and are not seemingly roused to push back on the Ruling class. Burger King is still making its fries, and Anazon is still churning out items and dowloading books. Outside of organized protests of Obama supporters, versus, unionized Obama-funding cops, the streets are quiet. People seem to be mostly, content. I am middle class so I support middle class interests and not simply, "what works," as you stated. My conclusion is that the oligarchs have won, at least for now.

And you should learn from your mistakes too. At one time I rather liked the ideas of Paul Ryan, but they have not stood the test of time. In 2010 in the aftermath of the Great Recession the Federal Reserve in the USA lowered interest rates to historic lows, Ryan said the Federal Reserve</font><font size="4"> <div class="aolmail_gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;display:inline">was debasing the currency and would lead to hyperinflation. It didn't happen, today the USA is in recovery and inflation is very very low. But in Europe they did what Ryan wanted the USA to do and raised interest rates in 2010, and today Europe is in a double dip recession. The moral is that political ideology can not determine which theory is true, not in physics, not in biology and not in economics. </div></font></div> <blockquote class="aolmail_gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex"><font color="black" size="2" face="arial"> <div class="aolmail_gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;display:inline">> On the Stalinist leanings of the dem party, it is an assertion, beyond challenge, </div></font></blockquote> <div class="aolmail_gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><font size="4">I assume you don't live in the USA because the leader of the USA is a democrat and if its Stalinist beyond challenge then you would be in jail right now for saying its Stalinist beyond challenge.
