and that's why they've been what yappers on the TV on both sides have been concentrating on.
Talk to conservatives some time, economic issue by economic issue, and you'll find them pretty much on the same page we're on: tax the billionaires, bust up the mega corporations to reduce monopolistic behavior; Help fellow Americans hammered by natural or economic disaster; ensure a fair day's wage for a fair day's work...and it goes on and on from there. "Affordability" is only one small part of all of this and is not an adequate issue for either party to stand on to the exclusion of other issues.
Neither party is addressing any of this, not really, because corporations and rich guys get nervous when they do. Too many people have gone from cynicism to apathy to angry non participation, which is why so many refuse to vote, refusing to extend their permission to either side for this screw job.
Our country is fucked up and has been for a very long time. Fatso is just a symptom, as is his rotten class of billionaire parasites with the unfair tax and corporate structures they rode in on.
(So why am I a Democrat? Quixotic, I guess. Besides, Republicans are stupid, cruel, and crazy)
