When I read about the Senate “unanimously” voting to end food stamps (SNAP) for some convicted felons, the sheer evil of it just blew my mind. Now in America the concept that one must be “deserving” to obtain even basic benefits like, food, the idea that our American leaders would every one of them want Americans to starve when we live in “the land of plenty” …

I am so ashamed of them.

“If Clinton becomes the candidate, yeah, I’d be unhappy, but I’d vote for her.”

NOT ME!!! Next time around, I’m going to vote for someone I like and respect.

I will almost certainly NOT support Biden who was once characterized as the Senator most committed to Israel. Or Hillary. I’m going to support someone who enthusiastically supports single payer health care and reigning in health care costs, who enthusiastically supports peace for all in this world, who is for the people not just the really rich people.

Biden might be better than HRC but better of the badder isn’t good enuf.

That $281,000 mistake looks plenty smart to me. He got away with it. For $281000 I’d be glad to have brown skin and be called stupid.

“Private nonprofits”.

Privileged and well connected people – the children of those with lots of money – or, as they like to think of themselves – the best of the best. BTW – YOU are the rest of the worst.

Privileged people discovered about two decades ago that the way to set yourself up with a guaranteed cushy, huge paying job that required no actual talents was to head a nonprofit. So now the people who head AARP or Code Pink or the American Read Cross or veteran’s nonprofits or you name it get HUGE salaries and perks. In the case of Goodwill almost a million a year plus its several relatives from one family slurping at the top of this very lucrative trough.

Privileged people are also the ones appointed to head private nonprofit colleges. Look at Larry Summers, an incompetent knows little and garbles it A$%H#$@, jumps from wacking Harvard’s endowments into pushing for the squeezing of “entitlements”. He is totally with it on the idea that the money stream from the rest of the worst (for SS a currently $2.8 trillion surplus)should never all be sent back to those inferior ones, some of it should skim forever to causes and the pockets of the best of the best.

We gotta support the brightest and best college students. You apparently do not understand that wealthy students are automatically in that group or you would not be whining about a class structure that has naturally arisen as those that are most desirable are increasingly able to assure a larger and larger divide between their privileged positions and everyone else.

Iran?? Syria? There is no way these governments authorized our special forces operating in their country. There is no limit, apparently, to our meddling if you want to use that euphemism.

By expanding and strengthening and providing government money to our disfunctional private insurance – healthcare system, Obama did us a big disfavor.

Assuming it was an either-or, instead of focusing on coverage expansion (and what health care behemoth wouldn’t want that?!!) the focus should have been on cost minimization. Fix Medicare Part D, move away from payment for procedure and towards flat payment systems. Yes, I know that means moving towards single payer .. so?

Now health care is totally fuc#$#d, especially for the middle class. I believe totally that Obama does hate white middle class Americans, just like those wacky Rs were hinting when he was running the first time. He likes blacks and he likes the rich and powerful. Everyone else he wants to hurt and is working hard to hurt.

This appointment really sucks. Exactly where are the “left of center” appointments in this administration. Review all of Obama’s appointments and you will be unable to pick out even one that is even slightly left of center, as versus all the appointments that are well to the right.

He was always the WORST EVIL. Whether its the head of homeland security, the education secretary, commerce, secretary of defense, labor, etc., he comes out for neocons every time. This guy is not just a ringer, he is the end of two party America. (Actually, that might have been the male Clinton, but this one is definitely a follow on).

There is no possibility but to bail on the Democrats. They just are not Democrats any more.
