Political Talk Shows

Eric Boehlert, made a statement that I wish I'd thought of: on Sunday morning shows, whenever a pundit describes what "the people" want, you should recognize that by "people" they mean "other pundits." As a general rule, Beltway pundits and analysts do not actually know or talk to "people," especially not "poor people" or "unemployed people."

Actual human beings want to have jobs again, and they want their family and friends to have jobs, because not having jobs is currently driving up household deficits, which are of more immediate importance to actual humans than structural federal deficits, which were run up by the same people who suddenly want to "get serious" about them.

Madison-Its about Freedom

Returned from Madison today. It is quite evident the PEOPLE are not happy with Scott Walker's brash in you're face, we're taking you down, one union at a time attitude. What I witnessed in Madison, got me teary-eyed. As I told the young man when I stopped for coffee at McDonalds, I'm going to Madison for you. I went there thinking about my dad, my husband, and my sons, all of whom have or had affiliations with unions. I really could go on and on, but then no one will come back and read my blog, so just let me say this. Walker over stepped his bounds and took the Wisconsin worker for granted. He won't negotiate because he is backed by corporate America. They can not push their profits to the top, if they have to pay workers a decent wage they can live on. Wisconsin is open for business. Business with no representation of workers that will work for $10.00 an hour. I don't know about you but in a single household, I can't make it on that. Under Walker, "Wisconsin is UP for sale" so insanely SAD.
