Re: [North Georgia Democrats] Charles Schumer on how the Democrats can Win in 2016.

Kathryn Sproull commented on your post in North Georgia Democrats. Kathryn Sproull 9:12am Nov 26 I disagree with the part about healthcare reform being premature...it was long overdue...but at some point, the middle class is going to have to stand up at the ballot box and demand policies that strengthen it instead of shrinking it. Comment History Ken Akins 7:45am Nov 26 Sounds interesting. Original Post Frank Gilkeson 7:44pm Nov 25 Charles Schumer on how the Democrats can Win in 2016. National Press Club speech this morning. I listened to it live and found it quite stimulating. Highlights for me. Key issue is middle class is losing out in current economy. GDP and stock market up and Middle Class Income down. Technology and globalization are causing more economic benefits to go to capital than to labor. The way to win is to focus on lifting up the middle class with government programs and law changes. It was a mistake in 2008 to push for heathcare reform before completely fixing the economy. It is a long speech but worthwhile. http://www.c-span.org/video/?322914-1%2Fsenator-charles-schumer-dny-november-midterm-elections View Post on Facebook · Edit Email Settings · Reply to this email to add a comment.
