Santorum on “social issues” driving the ball into that ol’ uterus, and getting government off our backs? LIke preserving a “free market” economy that has already sacked middle income folks?
But they wouldn’t. They like the flow of money from the poor and middle class to the extremely wealthy. They created the problem and will actively pursue it for as long as the voters let them.
Nothing the Republicans have proposed will do squat for the economy. Cut taxes on the rich? They’re already lower than they’ve been in decades, and trickle-down hasn’t worked to date. Cut government spending? That’s where the weakness in this economy already is greatest, and our nation is falling behind all of our competitors. Cut taxes on corporations? They’re the lowest in the civilized world already, and corporations have huge cash reserves. What they need is consumer demand, and none of the GOP is willing to admit it.
The sad part is how successful Santorum has been so far on his platform of denying women reproductive rights, and gays civil rights of any kind. That’s the modern GOP: rockin’ like it’s 1199! At least science denial hasn’t been as much front and center since Perry and Bachmann fell by the wayside.
Lamda: If “worked” means increasing the income inequality gap, then letting your “progeny” continue the increase in national debt ten-fold, doubling unemployment at the same time “elites” increased their incomes 100 fold, yep, guess it “worked”.
