Just days after the GOP passed the debt ceiling bill,the stock market is crashing. Is this any surprise to most people? Maybe not, however the Democrats, ONCE AGAIN, are missing a golden messaging opportunity, "The GOP is causing our economy to crash by supporting financial policies which are harmful to our nation."
Not that hard, is it? The GOP plays that messaging game all the time with Dems, ie, Obama did blah, blah, and the market tanked, now we should be pushing OUR message far and wide as well.
The outlook for job creation is not positive, wages are not going up, the GOP is determined to privatize Medicare for those of us under 55, costs of everything are going up, the middle class is being forced to pay more for health care, food, energy, education, services provided by their local/state government, while their incomes have remained flat for 10 years.
And what exactly has the GOP done to help this situation? Pass a jobs bill? No, and the debt ceiling bill they just passed is expected to end up CUTTING $1.8 MILLION jobs.
The "special" commission will be stacked with GOP members who won't compromise and Dems who will bend over and take it in the rear (or will Reid see the light?)
And all of this, ALL OF this mess is due to the GOP's absolute disastrous economic policy which is currently crashing the market.
The GOP passes and supports legislation that harms working, middle class and poor Americans, they are a party set out to destroy our nation, and our Democratic party should get a clue and start using this message.
Am truthfully sick to my stomach these days, and with tears I BEG the Democrats to stand up and draw a line, blame this market firmly on those who are harming our economy.
Our house has been set on fire by the GOP, and Democrats are seemingly paralyzed and watching that house burn down.
The GOP's economic policies are responsible for the stock market crash. Time for our Dems to use this over and over, before all is lost.
