The rest of your talking points were the result of digging out of the near depression brought on by the right wing's deregulation (for which we are headed back), demographics and globalization.
Feel free to tell us what the Republicans did for those issues other than cause or exacerbate them. Next you'll be telling us the Republicans are pro-labor if not pro-union.
To quote Melvin Udall, Go "sell crazy someplace else, we're all stocked up here."
Again, Bill created the mechanism that propelled the housing crisis. If I'm not mistaken Bush had a balanced congress for most of his 8 years. Obama had a super majority and his major accomplishment was the failed affordable healthcare act. Obama, Hank Paulson, and Tim Geithner engineered the bank bailout, which rewarded and helped consolidate Wall Street. Maybe you haven't been paying attention but Obama is the one who's been pushing globalism and supporting NAFTA. Republicans are complicit in the decline of our nation but it's mainly due to the fact of their constant capitulation. No the GOP is not the champion of unions. But judging by the approval of NAI, Barry is not the champion of airline labor. I'm withholding judgement on trump. He's not my daddies typical republican. I'm hoping for the best but not holding my breath.
You can dismiss my "talking point", but the facts are the facts. But I guess that's never gotten in the way of the liberal narrative.
Ultimately we have to look out for each other regardless of political affiliation. Fly the contract and fly safe.
