Trump could have helped the steel industry by asking that republicans pass legislation to spend $1 trillion on infrastructure. Instead he gave it away on tax cuts for the rich.

Too little, and too late for the 2020 election.

They should have been working on this for at least two years already.

People will only run up their credit card bills so far before consumption has to slow again.

After trump is gone, repubs will all pretend they never joined his cult and go back to being offended enraged by every thing a democrat does, even if it's 1/1000th as bad as trump.

Yep. Just as it's already hard to find anyone who admits they voted for GW.

If either of those two win the nomination, I'd prefer to see a younger progressive as the VP pick. I think either Pete Buttigieg or Tulsi Gabbard would be the best choice.

treating, training, and educating those who want help, and leaving the rest in a secure facility.

Once there is actually abundant help in place for those who need it, I will agree with that. Until then, I'm with Joe..

"Are you prepared to fund that? If not, then just STFU already."

Right now, we're not even close in most of this country.

The problems will simply continue to get worse until America addresses the underlying causes of homelessness, rather that simply criminalizing poverty.

Think about it, he is such a low life that Trump fired him after 1 day.

Weird that it says nothing too you that Trump 'hired' him, at all.

More like Fat Nixon is playing tic tac toe.

When the headline said "Yes to Russian-Backed Plant" I just assumed it was referring to Trump.

Riiight.. It couldn't possibly be because the US has killed and continues to kill countless numbers of innocent brown people.

Yep. I'll 'never forget' that the US has now spent almost 18 years of blood and treasure in Afghanistan, over attacks committed by the Saudi's.

This is exactly why the US should quit supporting Israel.

Debt, deficits and spending.

Our revenue problem is much worse than our spending problem. Military spending needs to be cut. But I can think of a few places where spending needs to increase significantly.

Kind of seems like that's exactly what they were trying to do. lol

Whatsleft asked why protesting became controversial,

#11 | POSTED BY RIGHTOCENTER

No. I asked "How has protesting against fascism EVER become "controversial" in America?"

Some on the right have essentially tried to blanketed every liberal protester in America as belonging to a loosely organized group calling themselves 'Antifa', and then attempted to label them ALL as troublemakers. The truth is that only a very small percentage of them are actually trouble makers. In a broader term, antifa stands for anti-fascism.

I ask: How has protesting against fascism EVER become "controversial" in America?

The answer is that it's only controversial to protest fascism if it increases ratings for the media, or if you're a fascist.

You are assuming the employer is going to pass on the employer Health premiums they were paying for their employees to their employees? Why would they do that? I would'nt. Thats money out of their pocket.

There is definitely a contingent of voters that seem to believe that burning the entire system down is the best way to proceed in "fixing" America, even if the eventual end result is a more theocratic/plutocratic/authoritarian America, or worse.

FTA:
"At least some of the counter-protesters were identified as Antifa, the controversial far-left group."

I'm getting a little tired of this narrative from the media. Please tell me; How has protesting against fascism EVER become "controversial" in America?

It will be interesting to see if the ----------- will now boycott Walmart.

How does that fix it? I moves a worker from one job to another. It doesn't magically make a new worker.

I think more money would bring lots of people back to work from the sidelines.

Not surprised. While I'm certain there are many women with legitimate claim to harassment, the way this #metoo thing has gone, I won't even touch my wife anymore.
