Isn't it pathetic the way the media downplays the economy

even the so called liberal media, I saw an article today Huffington post, while the economy did generate a bunch of jobs it is still a bad economy because of stagnate wages, which is a real issue, but if Romney had been prez the media would be falling over him as the businessman president we needed who saved America

I know History will be kind to Obama but because the douche media they don't call the repukes on the shitty economy they left Obama, who fixed it, and the way the repukes talked about the economy today you would think Bush was still president, the last three repug presidents destroyed the economy

jus my little rant
thanks for listening

Trump and Bernie showed that even candidates who aren't taken seriously can cause major threats to establishment candidates. And with the generational gap, it is inevitable that these parties will either have to reform or be destroyed by third parties.

I see both parties going the way of the dinosaur. The establishment will not allow any reforms. It's only a matter of time before young people realize that the elites in these old parties don't represent them.

is it better than when it was inherited? Absolutely. But it went from DISASTROUS to MEH.
