I don't know about what you all think but John king usa is probably one of the worst political commentary shows I've seen. In all honesty CNN's entire 5-9 line up is utter crap. I was watching either yesterday or the day before and they had on their usual panel of dunces who spout utter foolishness in the hopes of appearing knowledgeable. Gloria Borger, offers absolutely nothing to a conversation; Alex Castellanos the man who said sometimes women can be bitches; Jessica yellen indifferent about her; Erik Erickson I could slap for the idiocy he brings; John avalon of the no labels group and some other lames. Anyway so I guess right now the big issue is debt and deficits so the Villagers say and this is the way to get America moving forward. And naturally the two or three things that need to be trimmed are go figure social security Medicare and Medicaid.
Sigh.8 people on this panel all concluding that this last election was about spending cuts and the only adult thing to do is to cut those things. I think we can all sleep easily knowing that this election the next one and the next are all about the economy and unemployment. Until 9.8 is down to 7 or 6 nothing else will matter. Anyway the panel of experts claim to think that potus can show real leadership by making the tough choice and cut those programs. Haha yeah that's leadership. Somehow the American people are going to look at that cut and reward him for taking away their only source of income and medical care. Naturally not a single person ok this panel of experts will be effected by cuts in any of these programs so sure let's start there. They need to bring in people who are on 1 of the big 3 and ask them if they support going without their income or medical care.
This is what they do though. Villagers claim that tough choices have to be made that obviously doesn't affect them and once that choice is made and the public hates it they will say, why did you make such an unpopular decision? Your party just lost all these seats bc of it. Yall know the drill. Utter idiocy. How many jobs does cutting social security create? How about Medicare or Medicaid? We see what Medicare cuts in Arizona look like, death panels. Sorry lady our board says we can't afford to give you that kidney so yeah here's some pills to make you comfortable.
My personal opinion is that democrats should push for job creation and innovation by creating the STEMM society. STEMM an acronym for science technology engineering mathematics and medicine. How can the government help push our populace to fill these needs to help our economy grow.these 5 areas are the key to global competition and a booming economy not built for bubbles. Lbj spoke to the great society Reagan of less govt Clinton appealed to our emotions bush scared us shitless and Obama now has to make us feel duke there is an economic future for us all. Create that narrative right now. An economic future based on STEMM and stick with it.
I am a lifelong democrat liberal progressive and by no means am I said or upset at what our party has done the last two years. We lost but we did more good for America than they knew. My hope is that when we get control again we push forward only next time with a better marketing strategy.
