"Just this morning, the Washington
Post ran an editorial mocking the idea of a looming
retirement crisis. To make sure no one missed the point, they even
put the words 'retirement crisis' in quotation marks. No retirement
crisis? Tell that to the millions of Americans who are facing
retirement without a pension. Tell that to the millions of Americans
who have nothing to fall back on except Social Security ... Make no
mistake: This is a crisis." Sen. Elizabeth Warren of
Massachusetts
It seems the more things change the
more they stay the same. The Republicans have a new national
strategy since the Obama landslide win. They have begun
gerrymandering districts to win house seats. They are making it more
difficult for people to vote. They are demanding identification to
votes, never mind that the incidents of voter fraud virtually didn't
exist and the few cases that were alleged, were perpetrated by
republicans. They, the GOP, realize that when more people vote they
lose. Fewer voter machines in minority districts, shorter hours,
less days to vote all designed to keep the democrat vote down. They
want to turn the clock back to the bad old day when the vote was
limited to the few.
They are also against immigration
reform, gay and lesbian rights, abortion, raise of the minimum wage,
health care reform, they want to cut social security and medicare.
All the time continuing to benefit the rich and powerful, and their
corporate clients and those at the top of the food chain. Who do
these policies hurt? It hurts, seniors, the poor, minorities,
immigrants, women, gay and lesbians the middle class and the working
poor.
The GOP has no moral compass, they see
the poor and minorities as disposable.
