Most Americans of voting age who possess an IQ greater than their shoe size understand the GOP economic "policy" is the same tax cuts/trickle-down/deregulation slop that resulted in the current Great Recession.
Lobotomies are not covered in the republican healthcare program, because they sure as hell forgot that the "trickle down theory" aka "voodooo economics" did not work for reagan or the bushes but yet they are still trying to push it through
There is indeed more to housing than the price of houses. I imagine rent is up. Not to the rate that housing has fell.
With rent being up, and more people renting, this would increase the average cost of housing overall. I'm speculating here because I dont know how its accounded for in regards to federal accounting standards.

Productivity was on the rise. Did the workers get a slice of that productivity gain? No.
The middle-class were doing the best during the historical period when unionism was the strongest. Those gains were eroded starting with Reagan. Since then, income has been more and more concentrated in the very wealthy.
How someone who is a "retired marine" backs the corporate class and wealthy class over the interests of average workers is beyond logic.
He is getting a military retirement/Social security with benefits and does not consdered to be among the poor

As has Obama. QE programs are nothing more than trickle down programs. Trickle down does work when something is being produced.
There have been many that hjave benefited from the things produced by say, Apple. Only Wall Street is benefiting from the QE program.

I'm fairly certain rent is included. As I note though, rent is likely up which is one of the things keeping inflation above zero or less.

Reagan's recovery makes Obama's recovery look like a snail crawling uphill.
Republicans don't know how to run an economy. They fail miserably anytime one of these clueless suckers gets into the White House. George Bush was the latest. Romney is no different.
I find it appalling that Republicans think that the American public is willing to give them a chance when they have shown that they have regressed since the Bush years. Tea party, neanderthal obstructionists, lousy GOP presidential candidate field, idiot goon for a nominee, and absolutely no indication that they have changed their ways. They are still the same ineffective, bigoted party intent on protecting the rich to the detriment of everyone else.
Republicans like to go to war abroad to hide the fact that they don't know what the hell they are doing on the economy and every other domestic area across the board. They like to keep the country's attention on fear and war while making the rich richer.
The op, a far left partisan, talking about what moderates want. Uh huh.

Impressive contributions. I'm sure your posts reflect what right wingers are all about.

Now only if you understood a difference between controlled demolition versus uncontrolled state of affairs requiring a fix. But that issue pretty much defines what goes on in the right wing world.
No. My response was to pg who was claiming that social programs make people lazy and not want to work.
to a large extent, he is correct. There are MILLIONS of inner city people across this country woh are dependent on government handouts.....they grew up with it...it is a way of life for them. There is no point in denying this because it is true.
I'd say that pretty much makes his point MORE than valid.

Republicans don't deserve consideration
They like to keep the country's attention on fear and war while making the rich richer.
