I don’t get it.  Why is it so hard for Conservatives to see that depriving people of the programs that help keep them alive like food stamps  and unemployment insurance hurts the businesses that depend on them more than leaving those programs in place.  If few people have the funds to spend, aren’t we starting down a path toward more recession.  Few or no customers means little or no business and no new jobs.  It can all become a vicious downward cycle.

Why is it so hard to see that giving tax cuts to the rich does nothing to make customers of those who spend the most on essentials?  The rich just put their extra into more investments that fail to put anyone back to work.  How did we lose the lessons of the 1930’s so quickly?  What blinded us?  Selfishness?  “Trickle-Down Reaganomics”?   The whole world seem stuck on that failed idea.

Pete Seeger has passed away, but we still have the songs he wrote.  Maybe if more people sang them loudly, we have something nearer to common sense.
