Once more SK, it is not that Obama is any better or worse the Bush or any other republican. My argument is that he is the same. Wall Street loves him. Show me how the rich have suffered under him. How has Wall Street suffered or been harmed by him. How has big pharma been hurt by him. His expertise or shall I say the democratic party has learned to harness and play the class warfare card to the polls over the past 8 years and especially the past 4 years. The poor are just as bad off if not worse and the numbers will grow, faster then ever. The programs themselves don’t need to grow but simple stay the same because the simple debt service on the existing 16 trillion will be bore by the middle class. So even keeping the programs as they are will continue to doom us. The issue at hand is that one hand will wash the other and continue to do so. The middle class will bear the brunt. Whether by taxes or by programs that they are deemed to not qualified to participate in.
You show me the numbers saying that they have not been expanded. Show me that no new programs exist at any state or local levels either. Show me that there are no programs that exclude middle class families that participation. Show me that these programs have not expanded or contracted.
