Still Not One Word About Debt. The crawl across the bottom of CNN Headline News today reported that 49% of Americans are just barely able to cover expenses, and 29% admit to falling behind. That means that 78% of the Nation is either just barely getting by or falling further and further into debt as time goes by, yet the Republicans keep talking about the strong economy, and Democrats don't say one word about the grotesque pressure Americans are being subjected to, as incomes remain stagnant or actually drop, benefits dry up, more people have to provide their own health insurance, and interest at usurious rates piles up higher and higher every month. Why are Democrats so reticent to attack the destruction of the middle and lower socioeconomic classes by the Republican Plutocracy that we suffer?

Unless the Democrats land hard on the crushing burden of personal debt, made hugely worse by usury that the Republican owners of the banks and credit-card companies inflict upon consumers, they will lose the November elections and things next year will be worse than they are this year. How can Democrats be so stupid?
