The point of this? It is that Obama's economic policies have deepened the exploitation of the working class. Who cares if the unemployment rate drops to 4 percent if workers are unable to afford food, clothing, housing, medical expenses or their children's education. The job growth of the past period--lame is it is--has been in shitty jobs like waiting on tables or clerking at Walmarts. The Republicans want to accelerate these trends while the Democrats only disagree on the speed. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
