Neither side cares about the American worker anymore, their is no mathematical equation to bring us out of the Economic catastrophe these politicians have created. All they are trying to do now is prolong the status quo, so when Shit hits the fan they can take their riches and be "saudi kings." While the rest of us lead a life of serfdom

Coal power, im sorry is dying and will eventually die.. Those jobs will be lost.
Another example is automatic cars will kill millions of jobs.
Some jobs go the way of the dodo bird, and you cant change that. Has happened, is happening, will happen.
Forcing us to rely on antiquated means of power so a few people can profit from it while using 300 union jobs as a straw man reason to vote to continue it and to inhibit research into other means of power & employment, is wrong.
Without a smart government then that's what you get... and sadly, that's what we HAVE here in the US, thanks to 30-40 years of republican policy.
Its time to try something different.
So that brings us to, social programs so those 300 people can survive until there is more work available? what do you have against that? Why do you think that is wrong?
