While readers may be used to tin-foil-hat-wearing digitial dickweeds and alt-right bloggers seeing through the veil of ignorance and media hype that hides a considerably uglier economic reality than The White House (and the stock market) might suggest, many Democrats may be shocked to discover that none other than now-acting chair of the Democratic National Committee Donna Brazile agrees...
In an email to Clinton campaign chair John Podesta from February 2016, released Friday by WikiLeaks...
Donna Brazile (who has had a tough week trying to defend her cheating allegations for giving Hillary debate questions) admits...
“I think people are more in despair about how things are - yes new jobs but they are low wage jobs... HOUSING is a huge issue. Most people pay half of what they make to rent,”
Such honesty from such a vocal and public cheerleader for the Obama administration is sure to embarrass the White House, and, as Lifezette notes, contradicts the official Democratic Party line that Obama is some sort of economy-saving superhero.
Brazile’s comments also underscore the extent to which Democrats are perfectly happy to lie to the public in furtherance of their toxic, divisive agenda.
"Under President Obama, the economy has experienced a record 70 straight months of private-sector job growth. Over 14 million jobs!" Brazile tweeted almost exactly one month before she sent her email to Podesta.

As a reminder, in a recent study entitled "Problems Unsolved and a Nation Divided" (study can be viewed in its entirety at the end of this post), Harvard University points out that, despite claims of an "Obama Recovery," in fact, the U.S. economy has continued to deteriorate in the aftermath of the "great recession." Among other things, Harvard attributes the economic deterioration to a "lack of economic strategy, especially at the federal level"...
The U.S. political system was once the envy of many nations. Over the last two decades, however, it has become our greatest liability. Americans no longer trust their political leaders, and political polarization has increased dramatically. Americans are increasingly frustrated with the U.S. political system. Independents now account for 42% of Americans, a greater percentage than that of either major party.
The political system is no longer delivering good results for the average American. Numerous indicators point to failure to compromise and deliver practical solutions to the nation’s problems. Political polarization has especially made it harder to build consensus on sensible economic policies that address key U.S. weaknesses. It is at the root of our inability to progress on the consensus Eight-Point Plan.
With that, here's a look at some of our favorite charts.
Harvard argues that one of the primary causes of the sustained economic downturn has been a lack of an economic strategy from the federal government which has instead chosen to rely exclusively on accomodative Fed policies.
The U.S. lacks an economic strategy, especially at the federal level. The implicit strategy has been to trust the Federal Reserve to solve our problems through monetary policy.

""The Usa Sh-eople Are In Despair About How Things Are""
COME ON... Perma-Smile Hellery Says Otherwise ~~~
She's right - but that's why Hillary has proposed to make the biggest investment in the economy since World War II as part of her 100-day jobs plan. This plan will create millions of "GOOD-PAYING JOBS" for womyn and minorities in the green energy sector, and will rebuild our infrastructure and manufacturing sectors. We desperately need Hillary in the white house - this country is finished if Trump gets in!!
Could Militant Trump Supporters Steal The Election From Hillary?
10:52 PM? She may have been hitting the wine a little hard.
Despair, despair!
Despair, fo' dat blue hair!
... Brazile is Hiliary Jr when it comes to acts of prevarications ... check out the lyin' witch on this segment >>> "Megyn Kelly Grills Donna Brazile on Democrats Inciting Violence at Trump Rally Podesta Emails" >>> http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=7d1_1477018089
Now this nugget might have some legs if Trump plays it correctly. Go WikiLeaks!!!!!!!!!!!!
If this election is not decided on facts (because which CNN fan reads wikileaks?) then I was hoping they can throw some allegations, emails that are on the same emotional level like slurs against Trump.
This story that Clinton called someone a n*gger didn't stick at all.
And OT: I wonder how many Goldman operatives she will employ and how many finished politicians will end up in Goldman like Barroso. http://independenttrader.org/goldman-sachs-a-repository-of-corrupted-politicians.html
Your people were better off when they worked on the plantation, at least they had a job and roof over their head. Your liberalism has taken everything from them.

You are a serial spammer and a serial pain in the ass. Might I politely suggest that you go fuck yourself? And get a life.
PS. You might have noticed that my attempt to expose you for what you are is always the same. That’s because your Spam is always the same (Using fake links to your BS site which has no connection to your comments; which are deliberately dramatic to mislead people into responding or clicking on the fake link) so it seems only fair that my exposure of your crap should also always be the same. An eye for an eye.
The two faces of Brazile, public and private, Hypocrisy on full display.
To be honest most all have two faces, If it were not so, ZH writers and commenters wouldn't be so damn in love with their anonymity, their alias, they wouldn't be so CHICKEN to say what they really believe without hiding behind an alias.
But for these Bastards running things, who don't just hide from what they really believe, like so many hiding behind anonymity here, but they go into public and spend incredible amounts of time lying about what they believe, convincing you they're the opposite of what they really are.
All these politicians are, deep down, scared of their own damn shadow. Put Hillary in a room with two outspoken protesters, without here gun packing thugs, and she would melt with fear like the wicked witch!
One day the Vail will be removed from our eyes, everyone's secrets will be revealed. That day deception will be wiped out forever, when we see and know, even as we are seen and known!
It's high time we stopped hiding, and shouted what we believe from the roof tops, These bastards must be confronted head on!
If you don't care about your Grand children's future more then you fear openly speaking truth to these bastards, then your a coward!
Come and get me you EVIL BASTARDS!

Liberalism (word) has been hijacked now by high-horse morality pontifices, central planners, government loving, omnipotent para-mathematicians who can solve the whole economy with one Keynesian formula.
I rather call things by their name and if liberty has very little connection to liberalism that we see today I 'd rather use word much better aligned with what I want to describe - socialism.
Obama is a failure for the low income blacks and many middle class blacks. Obama panders to the Elites--both Elite blacks and whites on Wall Street and ignored the needs fo the average American.
That's why many black ministers support Donald Trump who promises to represent the people instead of Hillary's Elite Banker Buddies on Wall Street.
The act of killing (because there is no other word) the black family works like an industrious machinery.
Replace fathers with the government and you have uneducated, government-dependent 'farms' of voters enclosed in perpetually impoverishing ghettos.
All while claiming to be FOR black family. I guess it indeed comparable to killing someone with an icicle - a perfect crime.
>>> you have uneducated, government-dependent 'farms' of voters enclosed in perpetually impoverishing ghettos.
Where human beings are not born... they are grown.
Thanks for the metaphor....
Is that your "public" or "private" answer?

Truth Check! Political science professors at Old Dominion University have determined that illegal voting had a dramatic effect on and may have altered some past Presidential, House and Senate races. In other words, Trump is right! http://bit.ly/2dmWbVa

This assumes she was telling the truth. Does game theory have enough levels to figure out when to believe a perpetual liar?
"Most people pay half of what they make to rent,”
I drive around Houston, I even visited one of these "new" apartment places near my home where a one beroom place rents for 2400 per month. These places are popping up all over Houston. I just wonder who the idiots are that pay this rent. I'm not a "you should buy a house" guy...but, this isn't San Francisco or London. Why are people paying these rents!! I'm blaming the consumer for this one. Granite counter tops and valet parking!! are you freaking kidding me!!! in Houston! park your own damn car or don't complain about the rent.
But.....didn't Hillary already win?
Why would we care about.......people?
Chick out the new campaign music!

This is a story about an email sent in February?
AHHHH so you must be asserting that this email is irrelevant because the entire economic recovery that Obama is boasting about has happened SINCE February??? What a lame-ass objection...
The TRUTH takes time to bubble up through the layers of horse shit that the libtards are constantlyspreading around.
You stupid fuck...
Dok ... to ... re!
most new construction sits empty just like 60% of the homes built in the housing bubble. rent prices have gone up because the government pays high rents for sec8.. go take a look at the prices the gov will pay...insane.
Over the last 5 years this site has devolved into a pathetic partisan cesspool for dickheads that want to paint the Democratic Party as a bunch of dishonest dicks that want to ruin the country which the Republican Party always is right and has all the answers. Trump is a arrogant moron, but yet ZH tries to make him out as a thoughtful player. He's not. Hillary suck, no doubt. Obama is a failure, no doubt. But please admit the fact that republicans and their failed policies of trickle down the back and their history of massive gov spending (Check Reagans record) and calls for restriction of liberty (Bush authored the fucking Patriot Act for godsake), and Reagan wanting to take all assault rifles are just as bad. This place used to be balanced and for the smart investor, now it's just a Fox News syncopant blog spot. So sad. I'm sure I'll get massive down arrows, but hopefully Tyler will make at least some effort at introspection.
Also, the tiresome blaming of Jews for every malady in the world.
But I disagree a bit - there are still a number who drop by on occasion who are not knee-jerk Republican, and have rightfully called for a pox on both houses. Trump may be many things, but he's demonstrably not a moron, and although he's uncouth and classless, he is not bought and paid for as Hillary is. It's possible to support Trump and still have a functioning brain.
Only if you actually A) trust him and B) believe that POTUS is not completely controlled by the deep state. I subscribe to neither A nor B. Even if he gets elected, he'll either fall into line or end up like Kennedy.
+100 FTW!
I haven't seen a terrible thing that Bush started that Obama didn't continue or expand and you're deluded if you think Hillary is going to give up powers that her predecessors usurped. You have correctly identified the trend but why wouldn't the Tyler's rail against the current perps? If you want to see Bush blaming they're probably still doing it over at HuffPo.
Trump and Sanders are shots across the bow for the two major parties, the individuals may go away but the bipartisan sentiment that spawned them is here to stay until the systemic issues with our politics are fixed. I would even hazard speculation that candidates that appear even more irrational will come if these feelings persist.
The systemic issues with our politics is that they exist.
Refuse to follow 2016.
>>>the bipartisan sentiment that spawned them is here to stay until the systemic issues with our politics are fixed.
That would be when the 'Murcan standard of living, on average, has dropped another 50% or so. And, hopefully, after about 75% of the FIRE "industry" have moved on to life-enhancing productive employment or, alternatively, been dragged from their offices and torn limb from limb by howling mobs.
Preach it, brother.
You must have missed the outrage when the GOP nominated their usual establishment clowns. Most are just hopeful that Trump is anti-establishment, and since he's running against the Dems, well, you do the math.
hey macgraber by the p@ssy..............there arent any parties. there hasntbeen a 'repub' or 'demo' for decades...it is one power group owned by the 1%. blame a party...you are an idiot. trump is fighting a battle against the gov both 'parties' and the 1%. he cant win. if he protest the count, the fed judges will trow the case out. i thought for awhile that trump could win but now seeing how the entire establishment and half the population wants business as usual, i dont feel he has a chance.
does it really matter? can anybody clear 4 quad dollars of derivatives and pay back 100's of trillions in consumer debt...we will eat shit sooned or later and this time the 1% go down and we all glow when the nuke cooling ponds are turned off in the northern hemisphere.....forward comrades!!!
Democrat - Republican.
Using both in your chippy little diatribe confirms that you are seriously clueless.
THERE ARE NO "TWO PARTIES" - ONLY ONE. THE ELITES AND THE NEW JEW/WORLD/SOROS ORDER.
Foisted on all of us by the Lame Piss Stream Media, which are owned by 6 corrupt fucked UP corporations.
Trump - to his credit, has exposed that for everyone (that still has some form of critical thinking).
BOTH "PARTIES" DID ALL YOU MENTIONED ABOVE. One "party" did it, and the "other" was complicit.
Wake up. Even Foxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx has turned NWO after Ailes left. No longer "fair and balanced", I watched it the other day (forced to at the doctors office), and IT has turned shitty and mushy. Alarms dinging off every 5 minutes (or less) over the latest "alert" - like waking sheeple out of their zombie-stupors and A.D.D. to "watch" the latest sludge
Lastly, use paragraphs. You want to be "heard" on here. Have some of your own "introspection", and learn to communicate effectively on internet forums.
Yup. 10 trillion in new debt buys a lot of Section 8 and the votes that go with it. I'd like to see a poll of likely Hillary voters broken down into productive tax payers vs parasites.
Agreed, thats what I've shouted since Curious George was planted into Whitehouse.
