Brexit and ramifications

AGAIN, I ask....based on WHAT?

Just because he is a billionaire?

Because he is a Businessman?

His ideas that he is suggesting to do, doesn't seem like that will fit into your logic.

Renegotiating our unfair trade agreements with China.  That alone, could make quite a difference.

Tax relief on the Middle Class and taking away the tax loop holes on the wealthy.....This goes directly against your complaint.

Having a strong, effective leader....something we haven't had in a long, long time....

I know I am not going to convince you on anything.  You have your mind made up as do I.

One thing I am so very, very certain of, that Hillary Clinton would be the worst possible person to run our country in the current state it is in.....

Here is my answer (Minus the comment that seems to have distracted you from comprehending what I am saying):

On the last 9 years of a do nothing congress that hates the sitting POTUS; and will hate the next sitting POTUS even more given his strong armed style and approach toward everything within his personal and professional life.

The fact of the matter is we would a be a whole lot better off had congress been able to divorce itself from its personal agendas and actually do the work they were elected to do and are paid to do. But they haven't for nearly a decade now; and I agree things are on the downslide when it comes to the middle-class and likely to get much worse.

Congress has done some things over the last 10 years:

• Stack the deck to favor employers by eliminating pension and retirement plans in favor of 401k plans that are volatile at best.
• Pander to corporate America in the delusional hope that by depressing the wages of the workforce the resulting profits would get them to stay here.
• Continue to support subsidies for mega-conglomerate industries despite their posting of record profit levels, while simultaneously stripping and defunding the social safety nets of this nation at a time when they are/were desperately needed by the average American citizens.
• Say no to every single piece of legislation put forth, even when they incorporated their own demands.
• Waste over 7 million dollars on a witch hunt (Benghazi) that uncovered nothing more than the previous SEVEN separate committees did; which were huge gaps within the DOD response plans and unexplained lethargy therein.
• Attempt to rig the SCOTUS by refusing to vet a fully qualified candidate put forth by the POTUS; despite the constitutional and historical validation of his right to do so.

And then there is the SCOTUS itself that seems to have fallen into lockstep with these scoundrels by handing down decisions that empowered and emboldened Corporate America to continue its war on labor and manufacturing in this nation and provided individual, Constitutional Rights to these soulless and faceless entities without requiring them to conduct operations in compliance with those very same rights held by its employees.

One needs only to look at the last 8 years to understand how the next 4 years are going to be. Congress has been corrupted from bottom to top, and now feels IT is the highest power and authority in this nation. No matter who is elected, if s/he is not an individual that will fall into lockstep with the members of congress and continue to ignore the plight of the average citizens of this nation, we are in for more of the very same.

  Old joke:

  What starts with F and ends with K?  Why it's the 401K plan.  It's the fucking the employers give their employees with this retirement plan.
