I met a girls who said she voted for Barry because she said "I think he's cute". Yep this is the Obama voter. I certainly hope she is sufferening the consequences of her stupidity.
I met a mans who voted for a republican because "I would drink a beer with him"
Most "leftists" will acknowledge that the economic picture is being misrepresented. They usually talk about the "real unemployment rate". Usually adding those who have dropped out of the labor force because they gave up looking for a job. And people who are marginally employed.
All of this, and the president is desperate to push through a trade bill that will destroy wages and gut the middle-class even more than NAFTA.
Creating a job isn't hard. Creating a good job is the hard part. Obama seems more eager to hand the country over to multinational corporations than even his scumbag predecessors.
But lets be clear, TPP and TTIP, and whatever else will ultimately go through. The multinationals are going to make sure of it. I don't even care to argue about it. I'm just irritated that the average American hasn't opened up his eyes to the fact that this country was lost a lot time ago. Either accept, or fight against it. But don't delude yourself into pretending that our democracy is actually democratic. It is a plutocracy, and really, always has been. It is just becoming more and more obvious to the people willing to open their eyes.
It's probably just simplest to assume that labor rates are a matter of supply and demand.
There are cycles where the value of labor has risen and fallen quite a lot, the data is readily available (this is going back to the Middle Ages), looking for a cause like 'Obama' or 'evil trade deals' strikes me as a fool's errand.
In addition, you are seeing the magic of modern industrial and farming tech lowering the need for people. Failing a solar flare or other general breakdown, I can't see that kind of long term structural change altering course.
I've been thinking about the firings after the McKinney incident. We've become so infested with politically correct liberal BS that people can't give any opinion, no matter how well thought out or polite, that goes against the liberal orthodoxy, without fear of not only criticism, but violence or firing.
This has been building for awhile, but I see a cognitive tyranny now that I've never seen before. It makes me concerned the country is already lost to progressivism and is on the road to self-destruction.
The cop quit.
There is no such thing as political correctness. In every human society a person's words and ideas have gotten them ostracized, fired, and worse killed.
If that teacher would have said she was going to advocate that sex between adults and children be legalized, no one would be yelling political correctness when she got canned.
If that principal would have come out and said he believed that some people were disguised as alien reptiles, no one would be yelling political correctness when he got canned.
So this whining about political correctness has nothing to with people getting fired for words, since this is something that has always existed in human societies.
No this is about the subject matter that gets one fired.
For those yelling political correctness, they believe that insulting the black race, insulting women, or Muslims, or homos should have zero consequences.
They want a return to the old America where these groups could be insulted and degraded with impunity with zero consequences.
They want a return to the old America where the only group whose opinions counted and mattered were white men.
They don't want an equal society where every group and individual gets to have their say and have an impact on who gets punished for saying the wrong thing in public, because again people getting punished for saying the wrong thing is a fact of every human society as my examples illustrate.
Indeed the obstructive White conservative bible thumping classes are loosing their control of the culture and the country. As a white, liberal agonistic I have worked very hard to bring this about. Now to work in eliminating the corny capitalists robbing all of us for their monopoly profits.

Well, there is something to be said for eating the bread that the Little Red Hen baked.
