    No, you're just a lazy person who won't click on a link.

    The link there says specifically what bills were passed and who they benefited.

    There is no excuse for laziness.

    What I find is that most Conservative arguments are circular, perpetual motion machines of entitlement and laziness.

    They say that deficits and debts are a problem, yet all their tax cuts do is increase deficits and debt.
    They say that they oppose abortion, yet they oppose free contraception, birth control, and sex education which would all reduce the number of abortions
    They complain about welfare, yet oppose raising the minimum wage, which would reduce the amount spent on welfare

    Most of what Conservatives complain about are problems of their own making; I think they do so just so they can be a part of the conversation.

    He wants to eliminate the minimum wage. He thinks a living minimum wage hurts Blacks the most. It's one logic I will never understand.

    They do it because they are racist cowards.

    The wont say what they really mean so they drum up stupid "circular" arguments to pretend they aren't racist.

    Bottom line, from the beginning, they never wanted their tax dollars to help Blacks. It's still that way today they just package it in a nice little bow for Americans to unwrap.
    They don't want Blacks educated
    Nor do they want Blacks to have babies

    They never wanted slavery to end.

    Japan is about the size of Montana with a very dense population. Given the inept morons that build the high speed rails in the US today, the cost structure doesn't make sense.

Also, it's unemployment rate is now 4.3%, which suggests there's a tightening in the labor market there because they're near full-employment. But what's happening in CA for the middle class is happening elsewhere, not just blue states. The problem is that wages haven't risen even as the labor market tightens. Now, why would that be the case?
    Yet the unemployment rate nationwide is at 3.8%. Which suggests CA is lagging. CA doesn't have a higher 'standard' of living. It has a higher COST of living. There is a difference.

    Don't expect the rape apologizing leg humper to be honest. It isn't going to happen. Next he will tell you Illinois is in trouble all because of Republicans.
