    It’s helpful to keep the author’s point in mind as we Democrats debate issues.

    They want Americans to work for $2 an hour, like Mexicans, with no minimum wage.

    I always heard for years that the national debt @ 6 trillion was unacceptable but the gulf and middle east wars made liars out of all of them
