I'd be happy if Democrats even acknowledge that there are negative effects of the shut downs.

Most of them don't even want to talk about it.
That's because they relish all this extra government power over people.

There used to be one Democrat with empathy for working folks. He died decades ago. He was TRuman.

The one democrat I always liked was Frank Rizzo. Of course he eventually had to move to the republican party because his idea of law and order didn't jive with the folks that comprised the democrat machine's bae.

I have yet to see a single Democrat politician express any genuine concern whatsoever over the millions of Americans who have lost anything. The only time you hear about those people are when the Democrats are trying to pass a pork bill that won't do anything to help the people they have economically devastated.
I don't know where you get your news, but I've heard many Dems express concern for people losing their jobs, which is why their pushing for more federal help. As to business owners, maybe Democrats believe life is more important than profit.

You'll be hard pressed to find a dem with empathy these days. This virus crap has unmasked the dems in power as wanna be Nazis.

(As I recall, this was shortly after Obama told business owners that we “didn’t build that!” Gold star for everyone.


If it weren't for countless people putting efforts into gymnastics as a sport and the Olympic movement as a stage for athletes then (Gabby) "Douglas" wouldn't have any kind of stage to perform her craft. She'd be doing flips and twists in her back yard for fun.

It's beyond ridiculous that right wingers are offended that Obama was trying to promote cooperative effort and the importance of infrastructure and have twisted into an affront to business owners.
