Here are a couple of good books on this topic
Winner take all ISBN 978-1-4165-8870-2
Corporations ISBN 978-1-60994-105-5
The latter is a pretty good indictment of our friends at Monsanto

Very true, but what have the dems done about it for the last six years?

Or that the national debt went up every year, 'balanced budget' notwithstanding, or that even coming close looted Social Security.

With the 'Pubs sabotaging the recovery at every turn, what a surprize that must be.

I'm not talking about congress. The blame Bush for debt remark was made. Since we're blaming presidents, which I have no problem blaming Bush for funding two useless wars, what about the last six years? The debt has skyrocketed, not Obamas fault?

Absolutely not.
Considering the mess he was left with, and the Republican sabotage he has been subjected too, I think he's done as well as could be expected.

I gave Obama that argument when he came in there was a still steaming pile left in the oval office's checkbook. It's been five years, time to put on big boy pants and stop blaming everyone else.
