“Our press is willfully ignoring the ongoing catastrophe.”
It isn’t just the press. Where its the GOP? Why aren’t they hitting everyday the issue of 33% of the working age population being unemployed? Why aren’t they talking about the part time workers who want full time jobs? Why aren’t they talking about the fact most of the net new jobs created over the past six years have been part time jobs? Why aren’t they talking about the declining standard of living for the average household?
One of the things that disappointed me the most was Romney’s failure in 2012 to daily talk about the bad economy. He let Harry Reid, Obama, and the press beat him up over being wealthy. He should have been firing back with both barrels talking about the bad economy. He should have been giving speeches at shuttered storefronts and closed factories. Instead he just took the punches.
Same thing today. Where are Boehner, McConnell, McCain, my two GOP Senators, and my GOP House representative? They are silent. When I write to my senators and representatives I receive a canned propaganda piece talking about how hard they are working for the middle class.
The Republicans are in hiding, as usual. But of course we should all vote for them because they’re the “good guys” and they are going to stop Obama, cut spending, and restore integrity in government. /sarc
