What Does It Mean When The GOP Says They're Undoing FDR's Legacy?

[thomhartmann]

[TygrBright]

1. They've been working on rolling back "freedom from fear" forever. n/t

[brush]

2. It means no 5-day work week, no unemployment pay, no unions, no Social Security . . .

no overtime pay — no nothing.

[Ohioblue22]

5. Don't forget child labor

[brush]

9. Yes. How could I forget that.

And wasn't it Gingrich who was advocating that black grade school students earn their keep by performing janitorial duties at the schools they go to?

Talk about some heartless bastards.

[mdbl]

11. Don't forget no OSHA

Who gives a S(&* if the workplace is safe.

[mdbl]

12. Don't forget unsafe foods

Who gives a S&(* if we know what we are eating, or if manufacturers even give a S&*( what they feed us.

[brush]

16. Yep, the repugs are going to go after every hard earned benefit for workers . . .

to up the profit margins of their corporate paymasters.

Sickening. We have to stay united and stand in their way.

[onecaliberal]

3. It means go die if you can't survive on your own and white pride bullshit.

[world wide wally]

4. Digest this for a minute:

Make American great again by getting rid of FDR and brining in Putin

Yes, I will call them fucking STUPID!

[mdbl]

13. Couldn't have said it better.

[turbinetree]

6. And they hate people who have polio

because, then they get disability insurance, social security payments, medicare, medicaid-------------they hate people who want to have the those programs, so they are not a burden to society..


They are mean people-------------and the people that voted these fuckers in, don't think they want to gut and cut and hurt you.

Imagine Paul Ryan working inside some government office making $223,000 a year sitting in that f****ing office and then leaving to go and see his f****ing lobbyists and the fist thing they say to him, we want that social security money, get it done NOW, not today but yesterday

[bucolic_frolic]

7. It means the GOP is the party of hatred

they don't even let ideas rise or fall on their merits, they must filter
them through their hatred of anything that FDR did

They are sick, sick, sick dudes

[tenorly]

8. It means, above all, returning to this:

With puppet politicians regularly assuring everyone that "recovery is just around the corner" of course.

[DK504]

10. It means they will

drive us back to 1929 and will destroy the country. Then we will have to get another FDR in office to pick up the pieces of our country. Will it be to late?

[mdbl]

14. yes, it's time for another great depression

That's the pattern we are following.

[brush]

17. It's a historic pattern. Everytime the repugs get in and install their pro 1% policies . . .

a depression or recession follows.

Hoover's Great Depression, there was even a recession during Ike's time (and he was a moderate), Nixon, Reagan and his huge stock market drop, Daddy Bush (It's the economy, stupid), and of course Dumbya and his Great Recession.

Dem admins follow them and always have to clean up their economic disasters.

15. taking the Nazis' side this time n/t
