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

Roger Darr commented on your post in North Georgia Democrats. Roger Darr 12:24pm Nov 26 He did not, but he was avoiding most specifics. That certainly needs to be a part of it in my opinion. Comment History Sandy Lusk 12:18pm Nov 26 Fixing the middle class should mean more oversight on Wall Street. We all got burned while Wall Street took bailouts and laughed about it. It was maddening. Did Shumer mention bringing back the Glass Stegall Act? Frank Gilkeson 12:16pm Nov 26 i agree with schumer's critique of the aca to the extent that obama should have fixed the economy first. i actually thought so at the time. apparently obama advisors expected the Stimilus to fix the economy. it did not fix the economy. the economy is still not fixed for the middle class. Frank Gilkeson 12:13pm Nov 26 get past schumers critique of the aca. his key point about the future is to focus on the middle class and help them succeed in every way possible. Robert William Alexander Jr. 12:06pm Nov 26 An opposing viewpoint: http://crooksandliars.com/2014/11/its-damn-good-thing-chuck-schumer-isnt Frank Gilkeson 11:41am Nov 26 shumer is still head of the democratic policy and communications center. http://www.dpcc.senate.gov/?p=about View All Comments 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.
