| America is different today,in a fundamental and dramatic way,and is a better place now only for a few thousand people who are rich enough to remain above the effect of this transformation. For the rest of us,the 99% who stay up nights worrying about health care bills,retirement, finding a job,keeping a job,and aging parents who now dangle above a deliberately frayed safety net,it is a colder and more dangerous country we call home.This was not a case of two steps forward and one step back,but was instead no steps forward and two steps back.The kind of cuts included in this bill are exactly,precisely the wrong medicine for an ailing economy,and for the people who make up that economy.We now stare down the yawning barrel of a double-dip recession, and that's only if we're lucky.You really think they won't try this again at the first opportunity? Of course they will.It worked like a charm. |
