Brilliant speech for the working people. Under Obama the working people got broomsticks up their butt, with no jobs, lower wages, hard times. Trump is already changing that.
Your fast and loose conclusion/opinion with no statistical support and/or facts deserves an:
“AND THE FARMER HAULED ANOTHER LOAD AWAY.”
WCD’s first sentence is accurate.
“For too long, we’ve watched our middle class shrink as we’ve exported our jobs and wealth to foreign countries. We’ve financed and built one global project after another, but ignored the fates of our children in the inner cities of Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit — and so many other places throughout our land. We’ve defended the borders of other nations, while leaving our own borders wide open, for anyone to cross — and for drugs to pour in at a now unprecedented rate. And we’ve spent trillions of dollars overseas, while our infrastructure at home has so badly crumbled.”
Why aren’t Democrats giving Trump 100% support on publicly funded infrastructure?
Why didn’t Sen. Sanders give the rebuttal?
Huge error by Democratic leadership and more evidence they still don’t get it.
I think a lot of democrats would give support on public infrastructure.
There is a worry somebody will try to mess things up buy privatizing things so tolls disappear into an out of state company’s bank account and the promised repairs don’t occur.
You are right in that Sanders could have given a more energetic rebuttal. Though perhaps they were afraid he would talk about single payer (which I’m not against) when they are worried about protecting the gains made via Obamacare.
pplr,
Thanks for the response.
I was remiss in not adding that the reason we “left our own borders wide open” is because Republicans wanted immigrants for cheap labor.
Another factor is that we’ve exported union busting. That increases the pressure to immigrate.
I don’t think the Democrats would have any issue with working with President Trump if/when he puts forward an infrastructure bill. Senator Tammy Baldwin said she is looking forward to working on such a bill with the White House.
