We can quibble about specific issues (I certainly do), but the fact that a president said in a speech to the nation that trickle down economics is a failure is huge. And even more huge is how many Americans on both Right and Left now get that he's correct.

The talk is so much better these days. Fine. Jury is still waaaaaay out on the action. Our foreign policy, for example, is an unadulterated tragic fail. And the dying capitalism that will destroy the planet proceeds unchecked. Not breaking out into applause just yet.

AEnd trickle down scam policies immediately. Include restitution clauses in the new policies.

You do know Obama said this as well, as they put the burden more and more on poor families and the lower middle-class by continually taking away social safety nets, bailing out corporations, and basically being kinder with platitudes as they did nothing to bring the people up.
