I stand "exactly" with the middle class, with those who are trying to
maintain their standing in it, and with those who are trying to achieve
it. I believe in extending a hand to those in the lower socioeconomic
classes who are *working* to achieve "middleclassdom." That "hand"
should include a way to pay for decent, readily available health care
insurance/coverage for themselves and their families, good public
schools, safety on the job, job retraining if they need it, et cetera.

I believe this country rises or falls on the success of the middle
class. I don't believe a right-wing financial oligarchy serves this
country. I believe that economic policy should promote expansion of the
middle class.

A pal from the company I retired from called today.
Major insurance company doing all domestic business.
May have mentioned that I retired at 59 1/2 because the sight of them
flying my American flag made me want to puke, so it was best that I
go.
More layoffs. Been going on since late last year.
Solid middle class jobs. IT.
But company manpower isn't decreasing.
The jobs are being offshored to India.
My friend is documenting his job activities for the same.
Obama's watch.
This morning I heard Dylan Ratigan on MSNBC's "Morning Meeting"
discussing what a low life Geithner is, and how it was he who insisted
on the taxpayer paying a dollar on a dollar to purchase the corrupt
and financially defunct Wall Street firms in the bailout.
Obama'a boy.
Maybe you've noticed some discussion of a woman being called a
K-Street whore by Florida Dem congressman Grayson.
She is, of course, and furthermore she was an Enron lobbyist.
Obama's girl.
Some here might not know that Grayson, an actual trained economist,
was castigated by Obama's whore - she works for Bernacke - because
Grayson supports a Rep initiated bill to audit the Fed.
That little detail hardly matters to some.
BTW, a couple days ago I saw Dylan interviewing Dem who was pushing a
bill to exclude smaller Wall Street from audits.
He cut that Dem a new asshole.
Then we have ole Joe Leiberman, Evan Bayh, et al.
Those two both have wives employed by major health insurance
companies.
I'm starting to think we may end up with taxpayers heavily subsidizing
health insurance companies in the new health legislation.
And continuing escalation of premiums and loss of health insurance and
resulting medical bankruptcies for middle class Americans.
Of course the fat lady is yet to sing.
And the people have yet to really howl.
The corruption of government is stunning.
Both sides of the aisle.
I do think the Dems beat the Reps in integrity about 2-1.
Unfortunately, it's still too similar to deciding between the Crips
and the Bloods.
