 "Drop Dead Detroit" is Their Merry Christmas to America!

Too bad poor people, homeless, disabled, low-income, fixed-income, and struggling tenants, all striving to keep their heads above water in this economic deluge will bear the burden of the epic stupidity of the White House and Republican Congressional leadership. It reminds one what was said of the Bourbons of old: "They never learned anything, and they never forget anything."

After spending a trillion dollars on the most asinine war in history, which the same Republican leadership raced to support, a second trillion to bail out Wall Street, half of whose recipients should be behind bars, they have the chutzpah to tell us $15 billion (less than 1% of that sum) to save Working Class America would be "pouring money down a rat hole."

To Senate Republican Leader McConnell, who sounded more "McCarthy" than McConnell during the presidential campaign, huge job losses and suppression of organized labor sound like Jingle Bells. How strange Republican elders seem far more attuned to Toyota, Honda and Nissan than Chrysler, Ford and GM. They all sound like honor grads of the Herbert Hoover Institute of Non-Applied Economics.

We suggest the American people start making a list, and checking it twice, and put at the very top Senators McConnell, Shelby, and Corker, et. al.
