Hillary = Trans Pacific Agreement, H-1B Visa Workers, more immigration overflow

How could any American worker vote for her?? Unless they are dumb enough to follow CNN constant Trump bashing and Hillary promoting.

Trump will probably vote for her since he needs to bring in H-1B workers for Mar-A-Lago.

... Or will you continue to back the likes of Mitch McConnell, Paul ("ayn rand") Ryan and other "establishment types" in their obstructionist antics to block progress?

P.s. -- the worst welfare of all is corporate welfare. You should look into that. Just don't ask the "establishment types" you mentioned...
$19 Trillion debt is too much "progress" for me. But keep believing Obama's lies about how great our economy is.

Yet you support a Trump who will add another 10 trillion to that debt. Massive tax breaks for the donor class, huge increase in gifts to the military industrial complex while the working stiffs like yourself continue to suffer.

When will you start to support investments in the quality of life of Americans, like a national health care system, tuition free public college and paid family and medical leave for all workers?

You can thank bush's wars and wall street's gambling for the deficit -- not the welfare mom getting food stamps to supplement her walmart income.
  • Education = preparation for 21st century jobs and a workforce that can compete with other countries...
  • Single payer Healthcare = the most important part of the safety net, allowing people to start their own 21st-c century ventures with less worry, in fact...
  • Infrastructure (ie. making our power grid less vulnerable to terror, making the water drinkable in Flint & appalachia, making our roads and bridges safer) = jobs, including blue-collar jobs and economic stimulation...

If you're willing to sacrifice that ^ to give tax breaks to rich people, you care more about the political "doctrine" you've been spoon fed (by the "establishment types") than you do about the next generation. You've also had your eyes closed for the last 30 years, because otherwise you would realize that "trickle down" (ie. corporate welfare) has not worked for the 99%.

Education, healthcare, infrastructure -- someone really should start a third party with that precise name, and run congressional candidates under that banner...

I'd add fiber optic cable to the call for improved infrastructure.

A lot of small, former manufacturing, towns would be able to better compete in this century's economy if they had decent access to the internet.

It has been for me and those I know.

Pres. Obama,

Job well done, Sir. We'll be sorry to see you and your wonderful family leave the White House. Enjoy your retirement!!!!!!! Americans do appreciate your service to this great country!

Sincerely,

Satisfied Citizen

Yep... there are a lot of ways we can improve the country that are being "coc_blocked" by the repugs... 21st-century classrooms... high speed internet ... high-speed rail... cleaner energy... fighting zika ...

Amazing that after the tremendous head-start this country had (including infrastructure that was the envy of the world), we're absolutely blowing it (much like our credit rating and respect around the world) thanks to the republican scoundrels and their dupes...

With the recent thread titles, and this one being one of them, it is obvious that deviousness runs in the Democratic Party.

OP means to bring in votes for the highly flawed candidate Hillary but is wise enough to realize, it won't be easy.
