(12,482 posts)54. oh yeah you right the president has nothing to do with domestic policy
if ron paul had his way there would be no medicare, medicaid, social security, progressive income tax, minimum wage, worker safety laws, federaly subsidized school lunches and breakfasts, federal student loans or "evil" federal "goons" telling private property owners such as restaurant owners that they can't refuse my family service.
Don't act like you don't know these things. Sure, maybe he couldn't get those things done - but not for lack of trying.
Thanks but no thanks - I'll take my whishy-washy, moderate dem. prez over a right wing utopian (dystopian) enemy of every social policy that has helped the poor, elderly and working class American for three-quarters of a century
