>>Um, did you even pay attention to the vote on Medicaid cuts this week
in the Senate? Bush proposed slashing aid and it was only solid
Democratic opposition, and a few GOP defections, that led to the budget
cuts being restored.>>
Um, did you notice the topic was about STOPPING THE WAR with demonstrations and party politics? STOPPING THE WAR. Anyway, thank god for a few good Repugs to help out the hapless Demoncrats once again.
NN continues:
>>In New Jersey, Dems just raised the minimum wage by $2 per hour, even
as the GOP refuses to allow the increase at the national level. For full-
time minimum wage workers in New Jersey, the difference between Dem
control locally and GOP contol nationally is $4160 per year in income.>>
My goodness, from stopping slashed Medicaid spending to a wage victory in N.J. I sense a real rollback here.
>>$4000 may not be meaningful to you, but for low-income families without
your privileges, the difference in their lives is quite large.
It takes a hell of a lot of class privilege to keep yapping about the
lack of political differences between the parties. >>
Takes a hell of a lot of class privilege to run as a Democrat, or haven't you noticed?
>>Every serious advocate for the poor and working families, from unions
to poverty organizers, clearly see those differences.>>
Tell it to the 100,000 dead of Iraq, Mr. Newman, afterall, the thread was about stopping the war.
