Will Politics In 2015 Catch Up With The Economy?
Good question. The GOP look like idiots constantly saying how bad the economy is in spite of the mountain of evidence to the contrary (and the conspiracy theory on the numbers is just foolish). There are absolutely things that are a huge issue: wage stagnation in the middle class is the main one. But constantly running solely on tax cuts isn’t going to get the job done. There needs to be a focus on “creating an environment for economic growth.” That is going to have to be the message for 2016 or we are going to be looking at President Hillary.
(I understand we're talking about--Will Politics in 2015 Catch Up with the Economy?) The so-called evidence of "Middle class wage stagnation " is so foggy that it's not useful for policy and only good for politics. Incomes are in fact up, & my bet is that the middle class is fine w/ incomes. What's more clear is that the shrinking workforce is leaving ten million w/o jobs and another 3 million demoted to part time.

Yeah I'd agree that the ongoing war on business has to stop, but the first clear sign should be an end to punitive crushing taxation. We don't make the 99% better off by attacking the 1%. The republicans make a bad choice when they abandon principle for vain hopes of gaining media favor. Running Jeb Bush would just guarantee a President Warner.
