"There is no issue more important to the American people than the outsourcing of jobs, and that's why we're focusing on it," said Sen. Charles Schumer.
"The majority has wasted months in this chamber trying to tell the private sector what to do instead of providing certainty to help them make investment decisions," said McConnell.

Do you know what's amazing. These clowns that are against Obama and his policies for the middle class..
ARE IN THE MIDDLE CLASS ! They think they're in the top 2 percent !!.
Is that the epitome of hypocrisy, OR WHAT ?
And exactly what has Obama's policies done for the middle class? Wages are down, the only measurement that matters. We were told that energy independence wouldn't affect oil prices. Saudi Arabia dropped the price per barrel just to try to break fracking. Everything you people say is b.s., i.e. war on women, war on minorities, etc. You got called on in last Tuesday. Keep supporting that loser...

as a non-partisan independent, I dont believe obama is for the middle class but used the main street vs wall street slogan to point out the problems of the past administration with out real solutions for the future...
I dont believe however that it is BS that the GOP in their actions and rhetoric target women and minorities...
I think whats hard for you to believe that is that there are people in america that can refuse to believe both...
that is the problem

It's the lefties big bogeyman that the GOP has anything against women or minorities. Al Sharpton, Obama & Holder are biggest cheerleaders for this. The world is never going to be perfect but come on. I employ 6 people, that include 1 senior & 2 Hispanics. They are all treated equally and I'm a Republican, so there....
I didn't cut their salaries Tuesday morning and give it to my white employees as the left would have you believe. The Dems had absolutely nothing to run on so they ran home to Momma - discrimination against women & minorities.
Targeting minorities is giving amnesty to 4m people that'll work for peanuts instead of American citizens. What do you think that's going to do to the middle class? I can't believe anyone would support amnesty when wages are decreasing & jobs are hard to find. His own party should impeach him, but they don't have any balls.
Is the stock market not near a record high? How's he targeting Wall St. if this is so?
I've seen enough of b.s. over the past 6 years. Scandal after scandal. Eric Holder & Big Sis should've hung for Fast & Furious, do you believe neither knew anything about it? But one got away and the other just resigned, his day is coming. Bengazi, NSA, IRS, it just goes on and on. America said enough last Tuesday. Now the GOP has an awesome opportunity to fulfill the Hope & Change we were promised 6 years ago. They couldn't do any worse...

The stock market, housing market and job market all collapsed under the last republican president. The last republican president knowingly started a quagmire in the Middle East. When you say, they couldn't do any worse, you must forget the condition the last republican president left this country in.
McCain wants the record to show that “when” amnesty passes he will make sure that it carries the name of his longtime friend and Democrat accomplice Ted Kennedy’s name attached to it.
No presidency saw more scandals than the Reagan Administration, the name George Bush is synonymous with scandal.
It's the republican way - complain that government doesn't work, get elected and prove it.

Please Detox, I'm 52 years old and was a working stiff up until the beginning of last year. Nothing on earth compares to what Obama and his cronies have done over the last 6 years. Scandal after scandal, no plan on anything, they never see anything coming (or they claim not). Bush wanted every American to own a house, that was imo what caused a major part of the financial crisis. That's a liberal idea. Earn the fkn house and have the money to pay for it. Don't make the lending requirements a joke (which is what he was responsible for).
And I live in the present day. For 6 years I've witnessed more corruption than I have in the last 35 of my adult life. Go on and say Reagan was worse. I GIVE THAT NO CREDIBILITY AT ALL...
I remember the Reagan years well, he cleaned up Carter's mess very quickly and the country prospered... I know he was responsible for an immigration deal as well which I opposed then as I do now.
You continue to act like Bush was like Obama now. Bush had all the support in the world to invade Iraq. Obama was handed at least a stable country and against advice abandoned it. And now it is what it is, I guess that's Bush's fault too?

Your made me think of this quote...
"The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter." - Winston Churchill
Reagan and Obama are both on worst presidents lists.
Bush was a W.M.D = Weapon of Mass Deception
If a magician commits a crime in front of a gullible audience you can't blame the crowd for not stopping the magician.
The only support Bush had was from the Office of Special Plans.
I had no clue that anarchy, anguish, corruption, violence, death, and destruction = stability
Obama was handed a no-win situation. The plan of the jihadists was to wait it out. What is happening now was inevitable.

Money, your the funny one here. The entire world supported Bush, including 17 U.N. resolutions, your rewriting history.If Iraq would have used WMDs against anyone, Bush would've been blamed in a post 911 world. Go on and rewrite history to convince yourself. Bush was handed 911 & Katrina, could you imagine if Obama would've gotten handed that? He might of missed some golf rounds.
Reagan was the best president of my life. I wish Obama was half the president Reagan was.

No, you’re rewriting history. How could the entire world support Bush when there wasn’t even a vote. There was no UN vote for military action against Iraq.
The world knew Bush was using bogus trumped up charges to go to war with Iraq. The only ones that were unaware were discombobulated Americans.
As soon as Saddam threatened to trade Iraqi oil for Euros - the entire international community knew war with Iraq was inevitable.
Obama is half the president Reagan was. History will remember both of them as megalomaniacs and BIG government tyrants.

Bush was warned about 9/11 attacks
Bush was handed Katrina ... how ?
Are you serious ?
You are comparing a natural disaster to ill-conceived,ill-fated invasion and occupation of Iraq based on fabricated evidence
Iraq was no-imminent threat.
Afghanistan was the mission
Did you know that the Join chief-of-staff Colin Powell and national security adviser advised Bush Sr. not to topple Saddam Hussein during the first Gulf War ?
Saddam was more dangerous when he invaded Kuwait
After investigation following the invasion, the U.S.-led Iraq Survey Group concluded that Iraq had ended its nuclear, chemical and biological programs in 1991
and had no active programs at the time of the invasion, but that they intended to resume production if the Iraq sanctions were lifted.
Obama admin did not sell weapons to Iran to fund the contras in Nicaragua . Reagan did
Senior Reagan administration officials secretly facilitated the sale of arms to Iran, the subject of an arms embargo.
Some U.S. officials also hoped that the arms sales would secure the release of several hostages and allow U.S. intelligence agencies to fund the Nicaraguan Contras. Under the Boland Amendment,
further funding of the Contras by the government had been prohibited by Congress.
Guess what?
Daniel Ortega was elected president of Nicaragua in 2007.

The Walton's are worth 150 billion. If they ONLY had 50 billion and 100 billion was redistributed to the workers, how many Americans would climb out of poverty?
Ah, F it. Keep them in poverty and use my tax dollars to feed them and give them medical care.
Well played Sir.

I stop reading the article when the writter said :
"But unions came into being because company owners weren't sharing enough of their companies' wealth with the rank-and-file employees who helped produce it."
...they came into being to collect dues..
Is that why? Actually it was to lift the working class out of poverty. In the early stages of American unionization, there were no campaign contribution limits (sound familiar), and the bought and paid for Pols would readily send in the national guard to put down unionization efforts, at the request of the business elite who paid for their campaigns. In a lot of cases the workers were actually fired upon and killed by the armed forces of the United States, especially in the case of the railroad and coal workers.
Unfortunately, Conservative's now support craziness like "citizens united", and we are seeing the reemergence of a society where the ultra rich can buy elections, and therefore set the nation on a course to there suiting. We are again at the point where it is 100% government for sale. And the strangest part of the whole thing is that the folks who go around spewing freedom and liberty all the time, are the same ones who have no problem with their gov't being beholden to the highest bidder. It's as far from "We the People" as it can get.
I just have to shake my head at the ignorance.

Did you know there are places on this Earth where an individual gets no say whether they join a union or not? Money is confiscated from them and given predominately to one political party in the country that I am talking about, and there is absolutely nothing that an individual Union member can do about it.
The unions have also bought off politicians so that their scam will last forever. When people get mad and attempt to stop this practice they are demagogued as racists and against the "little guy" and for the exploitation of workers.
Truly a sad situation.

You talk about unions buying off politicians... How come you didn't mention the corporate special interest groups and their influence with state legislators?
"In our glorious fight for civil rights, we must guard against being fooled by false slogans, such as 'right to work.' It is a law to rob us of our civil rights and job rights. It is supported by Southern segregationists who are trying to keep us from achieving our civil rights and our right of equal job opportunity. Its purpose is to destroy labor unions and the freedom of collective bargaining by which unions have improved wages and working conditions of everyone.Wherever these laws have been passed, wages are lower, job opportunities are fewer and there are no civil rights. We do not intend to let them do this to us. We demand this fraud be stopped. Our weapon is our vote."

Imagine the deplorable things republicans would spew if MLK had said this today.
You don't think Rand Paul speaking at Howard and attacking the Drug war from a racial perspective is targeting minorities?
I think that drug war in general is one thing...
but if you get into the specifics like differing sentences for crack cocaine vs powder and the racial implications behind that I think its more racial in nature..
If rand was speaking out about that and telling the truth of what it than he is just saying truth...
