because we also have a story in the washington post today
which and speaks of
the urgency in which we're seeing
lawmakers approached the
economic situation in this country
washington has all but abandoned efforts to help the economy recover faster and
lawmakers don't seem worried that voters were punished them for it
we still have
by the most conservative asimmons nearly twelve million americans still looking
for work
more than four million people have been unemployed for over six months
in april two thirds of americans told the washington post-a_b_c_ news poll
that jobs were difficult to find in their communities
but lawmakers appear to feel little electoral pressure to address those
concerns we saw
just a week or two ago
the polls show americans still feel
creation of jobs should be job number one
for our law makers
it's not even remotely close
the house is approved only three bills if you include
a build to repeal president obama's uh...
affordable care act
that could even be bengali remotely considered to be economic policy
measures
none of course have been signed into law because these were all just preening
but the real issue here is that
for the donor class
those people who
essentially are the most responded to
by both parties
in our government
wealthy americans are feeling a stock market fuel surge of optimism about the
economy in other words
the rich are getting richer
and velez
the economy is taking a taxi because
we really do have two definitions of the good economy in this country
monies
economy that provides
as low is you cooking go
in terms of unemployment
where you have the most broad-based
support and the most broad-base i guess
uh...
cents that the economy is doing well
and then the other is basically
how is the economy measured by the richest among sis
and i probably have now is that corporations profits or through the roof
the stock market is
also
at new highs
and
thus we see
complete inaction by are
while i makers
fifty two percent of white americans earning fifty thousand a year or more
optimistic about the national economy
he thirteen percentage of point increase from december according to the
watchin post-a_b_c_ news poll
which tracks
the performance of of standard and poor's five hundred stark
index
so
we're going to hear more about
bend ozzie higher s
other trumped up scandals
perhaps will see some immigration reform because
regardless of the fact that
both parties can ignore
the broad implications of the economy they cannot ignore demographics in the
same way
