It's a pretty corrupt situation with this multi-prong assault on the poor and (remaining) middle class. Force lower wages and remove ACA, Medicare and Social Security. The fascists know well that without higher wages, there are NO individual savings. Most have essentially no savings already and would have a hard time scrapping together $500 for an emergency.

The elimination of corporate pensions was the first step with the false promises of IRAs. What a windfall that was -- for the banks. And when the banks need a bail out, they get it as 'too big to fail'. Individual workers with zero safety nets are basically 'too small to succeed'.

How is it that progressive news is absent from both the 'classic' network style outlets and decreasingly present in supposedly liberal public radio and tv? We depend on Thom H, Heather Cox Richardson and the few local radio stations around us that are committed to compassionate truth. And they, like independent local newspapers, struggle to survive.
