lol or maybe rcccb has a crazy rich uncle or simply doesn't know s--t from shinola. if he wants ss cut, i guess all those ss taxes he paid over the years is simply charity and therefore never to be claimed if God forbid he finds himself disabled. ss and disability are administered by the same government entity - the ssa! i think it's really stupid to shout for cuts to ss. if rcccb ever finds himself unable to work, trust me his tune will be verrrry different (unless he's got eccentric rich kinfolk with a heart of gold)

Democrat leaders admit they are concerned about losing campaign money, the only real reason they support unions anyway.

If Democrats had their way in this country, they would make it illegal to vote against them. We'd still have elections, but the only choice on the ballot would be D. Basically like Cuba.

We're not worried in the least about losing campaign money. Trust us, we will out fund-raise you. And we will beat you. Handily. Take it to the bank.

“It’s very clear to me that defunding education is all about attempting to create a docile and desperate workforce, willing to work harder and harder for less and less,†he said. “What Gov. Scott is seeking, in the end, is to turn Florida into a Third World state with a desperately poor, frightened and undereducated working population and a wealthy elite.â€

Yeah the states budget gap will be filled by the cuts to education alone if RS gets his way, makes me wanna throw something.

This is the pure tea party politics we should have expected as Democrats. Never mind the wonks in DC, it's the one's who have regional control like the Governors that will change the face of the nation. We have alot of it in Arizona right now. If there's any good with it hitting the midwest and perhaps the east is this will galvanize the people to take notice and become involved. Right now, the far right, fascist contingent has the momentum. We centrists and democrats need to wake up to what's happening. One of the tenents of fascism is to create divisions within the society. Well there's plenty of division. For example here are some enemies that are looting the system.

Food stamp recipients
SSI recipients
Welfare recipients
Unions
Unemployed
Single mothers
Education
Medicaid Recipients
Medicare recipients
To name a few. And the logic is.........."It's all about the money. ********* all, you've just dropped down to the second page on the priority list." But I'm confident that as long as the constitution and our institutions remain intact, the people and justice will prevail. The Scott/Walker crowd has overplayed their hand.
