I don't use 90% of the fora available on this site, nor do I support or agree with the most of the fora. Nightstrike I want, no, I demand, I only pay 10% of the fees.

My religion says cars are bad. I don't want any of my tax money going to fund any roadwork. Rail is OK though.

Five catholic male supreme court justices all appointed by republican presidents , undermining democracy on a daily basis.

Our Constitution undermines democracy on a daily basis as well. Good thing we instead have a republic that is supposed to be run under the Rule of Law (although the current president eagerly ignores it).

Good thing the forums are free to everybody.

Its just too bad John Roberts and corporist's 4 think that placing power in the hands of the few is good for the "republic".

This supreme court continues us on a path to a country of the rich,by the rich and for the rich. Since Ronald Regan started the snowball rolling the top 1% have accumulated 60% of the wealth in the last 30 years.The top 10% accumulated 75% of the wealth. You can do the math of what the rest of the folks in the USA have accumulated.By tilting the tax burden toward the middle class,gutting social insurance programs,stripping away regulation of the financial industry, gutting safe guards that protect workers on the job we have reached the highest point of income inequality since 1929. We all know what happened then. No society or economy in history has continued to function under these under this type of income inequality. Yet the average joe continues to drink the koolaid the republicans keep offering.

14 of the last 30 years have been under a Democratic president, 16 under a Republican.
15 of the last 30 years have been under a Democratic senate, 15 under Republic Senate.
14 of the last 30 years have been under a Democratic house, 16 under a Republican house.

Looks like any blame should be aimed at both of the major parties.

Keep on drinking the koolaid bro.

The "both parties are to blame" kool-aid?

Believe what u want to believe I have no control over your thought process.

The last 4 democratic presidents have been driven center right by the republicans accept on social issues.

That is going back 50 years.

Both Obama and Clinton had both the house and the senate on his side for the first 2 years of their presidencies. There were no Republicans to stop their agenda or "drive them to the right".

Lyndon B Johnson who is the 4th democratic president you speak of democratic control of both chambers of congress all 6 years he was in power.

Have a great day!

Was counting Carter,Clinton twice and Obama.LBJ was the last president who ever did anything significant for the average American.We need to FDR to rise out of the ashes like a phoenix and give the bulk of this nation something to hope for not just the freaking 1%.

My first response was to set you straight but i re read it , yes , the word democracy as it applies to the countries that "practice" it has different meanings , no two democracies are the same. We live in a republic and this president undermines it daily as well as reed , pelosi and hilary ,just to name a few. Put all the propaganda aside and that alone should make us nervous .

Certainly plenty of blame for ALL politicians in Washington who've allowed the 1% to determine policy and run the show all these years.

Wow, you finally said something i may agree with, women should be paid for a said period of time to nurture a newborn child. Yet again an outline needs to be established so that career babymakers cannot exploit.

Career babymakers? Where do you people get these stupid ideas?

Is this sarcastic ? Or are you just naive to how the system is gamed ?

So now it's the government's job to do things for people? What ever happened to people being responsible for taking care of themselves?

And yeah, LBJ did significant things.....that have had absolutely no positive effects. He gave us a Medicare system that is going bankrupt and a War on Poverty that has spent trillions of dollars without a decrease in poverty. If you want the country to hope for something positive, drastically cut the federal government. We don't need $4 trillion of federal spending annually to run this country as it was Constitutionally designed to be run.

If it's fair game to blame the person who created the system for mistakes made by later leaders of that system, then I blame the Medicare issues on George Washington.
