    Yeah, but Obama had that chance and didn't do chit. No single payer, no Iraq War weasels or banksters thrown in jail for their crimes, a stimulus package way too small leading to an anemic economic recovery, very small tax increase on the rich, a watered down set of regulations for the banksters, etc.

    Democrats nibble around the edges of enacting Republican friendly regulatory legislation(the kind that Drew likes), and never actually bother to govern like liberal Democrats. They're spineless and neutered from the get-go, cause they know that brent and Sic will be excoriating them endlessly for whatever it is they do, so they try to keep their heads down and choose the safest blandest way possible, and nothing gets fixed.

    My view being, if Republicans are gonna attack you anyway for whatever you do, then at least do something that's gonna make a difference.

      You're only partially right. You blame the Democrats' failure to act on being spineless and neutered from the get-go. That's not the reason. The reason is that all of our federally elected officials, whether Republican or Democrat, are either in the 1% themselves, or owe their position of power to those who are in the 1%. I've stated it here repeatedly. Everyone who is in the 1% likes being there. It's nice, and they don't want to do anything to change that. Doesn't matter whether you are a D or an R.
      That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

        There are exceptions, but there is also truth to that. Plutocracy is a bug with the Democrats and the mission statement of the Republicans. The Democratic party is deeply co-opted by the 1% cancer we need to root out to restore America. But the GOP is the vote-harvesting division of the 1%. The GOP is literally nothing else but a marketing tool of the 1% used to cajole people into slashing their own throats.

          The spirit behind what youre claiming isn't correct.

          It is true that both Ds and Rs are 1%ers on average themselves. But that doesn't mean Ds don't push for legislation to improve the lives of the average and poorer citizens. Look at Obama's background and community service...I fully believe that his rationale for Obamacare was to get poorer citizens healthcare and do not buy it was to make the rich richer. And Obamacare and rescuing the economy was a full slate of work during the D years after 2008. Today's Ellison, Klobachar, and Franken? Just a sample of MN 1%ers (or close enough) who who work for the poor.

              How many members of Congress would vote for a balanced budget right now? I doubt you would have to take your shoes off to count them. I agree with your diagnosis but think the solution is a third party that represents the interests of average Americans(whatever that is.)

                You want a balanced budget? Then tell the Plutocrats to give back the 30 trillion they've stolen. BOOM. Balanced.

                  All of them, depending on how you balanced it.

                    The corporate sector will have to grow 45% to make up for lost revenues in the new tax law...this when US GDP annual growth is about 2%. Not one D voted for it.

                        Basically.

                        But even now we could balance the budget going forward by simply restoring the tax rates pre-Reagan, or perhaps pre-JFK. Main Street booms when we have high taxes and spend on the middle class and the poor. Wall Street booms (and then busts) when we have low taxes and borrow to enrich the 1%. That is the final takeaway from the GOP's 30+ year experiment in voodoo economics.

                        If you want a healthy country, vote D. If you want the 1% richest families in America to have complete freedom, vote R.

                            Want to balance the budget? Not as hard as it looks:

                            1) Reverse stupid GOP tax giveaway from earlier this year - 150Bn per year
                            2) High velocity trading transaction tax of .5% = 200Bn per year
                            3) Increase federal gas tax from 18c to 40c - 50Bn per year
                            4) Cut defense spending - 100Bn per year
                            5) Medicare bargain for prescription drugs - 50Bn per year
                            6) Increase top tier tax rate to 45%, Higher Medicaid surcharge on 250K and higher earners, get rid of carried interest deductions - 100Bn
                            7) Elimination of special interest tax breaks (oil industry to drill for oil, for example) - 50Bn.

                            That's around 700Bn right there, and it sticks it to all the right people!
