Good day all. The Progressive Liberal Democrats, aka Proglodytes, leave to use the word \u201cDeal.\u201d First we had the New Deal, then the Fair Deal. Now we have the latest incarnation, the \u201cBetter Deal.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Without a doubt, it will be just like all the other \u201cDeals,\u201d an actual raw deal for everyone. The proglodytes have been running on empty with regards to ideas that actually benefit the nation and Americans for decades. President, (for life), Franklin Delano Roosevelt\u2019s New Deal is now considered by many scholars to have been a failure. We\u2019re dealing with the fallout from the New Deal almost a century later. With regards to the Democrats \u201cBetter Deal\u201d Here\u2019s what one of their media mouthpieces, National Public Radio, has to say<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Six months after Republicans gained control of the White House and both houses of Congress, Democrats have outlined a plan to improve their chances of methodically taking it all back. <\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

They are leaning heavily on a re-branding of their greatest hits \u2014 more and better-paying jobs, lowering health care costs and cracking down on the what are seen as the abuses of big business. <\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So, they\u2019re just going to do more of the same with the exact same results. Abject failure. Lowering health care costs? Gee, isn\u2019t that what Obamacare was supposed to do? Where\u2019s that $2500 savings I was told I was going to get? Oh right. My rates went UP $2500, and now I\u2019ve lost my insurance.<\/p>\n

As an agenda and a slogan, “A Better Deal,” hearkens back to the days of President Franklin Roosevelt. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer went 50 miles outside the Beltway, to Berryville, Va., to unveil it, hoping the ideas will resonate with suburban voters, many of whom were energized by Trump’s campaign-trail populism. <\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Do you know why President Trump IS President Trump today? Because he said he was going to do all he could to get the dead hand of Proglodyte policies and regulations off the backs of American businesses and people. Compare that with your last candidate, Felonia von Pantsuit, who said she planned to throw every single person working in the coal industry out into the streets.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“When you lose an election with someone who has, say, 40 percent popularity, you look in the mirror and say what did we do wrong?” Schumer said, speaking on ABC’s <\/b>This Week <\/b><\/em>Sunday<\/b>.<\/b><\/em> “And the No. 1 thing that we did wrong is … we didn’t tell people what we stood for.” <\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I disagree. You told people exactly what you stood for. Socialism, suppression of individual rights and liberty, massive taxes and regulations and totalitarian control of all aspects of American life. In other words, you wanted to bring back the Soviet Union, only not in Russia.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Democrats say they want to double federal support for apprenticeship programs to help train young people and put out-of-work adults back in the work force. They also want tax incentives for companies to retrain workers, as well as new standards aimed at limiting corporate mergers that throw people out of work. In addition, the plan calls for lowering the cost of prescription drugs. <\/b><\/p>\n

The apprenticeship idea is not a bad one, if you have industries that need apprentices. I think the last one was driven out by the Democrats decades ago. Limiting mergers? Bwahahaha! The Democrats love centralized control. As long as the merging companies pay bribes to the Democrats, those mergers will happen.<\/p>\n

As for lowering the cost of drugs? How do you plan on doing that? By ordering drug companies to do so? That\u2019s worked out so well in the past, hasn\u2019t it? What we ended up with were shortages and increased costs because of the Proglodytes love of \u201cHelping.\u201d<\/p>\n

“We will aggressively crack down on unfair foreign trade and fight back against corporations that outsource American jobs,” the Democratic leadership said in a statement. “We will fight to ensure a living wage for all Americans and keep our promise to millions of workers who earned a pension, Social Security and Medicare, so seniors can retire with dignity.” <\/b><\/p>\n
