Another Strong Performance From President Obama in Town Hall
President Obama spoke in Montana today. Unfortunately, while it is difficult for industry funded protestors to shut down and drown out a Presidential town hall meeting, they can still easily do it to Senators and Congressmen, making discussion of the issues inaccessible to most ordinary Americans. We’d single out Senator McCaskill, friend of Generation Blue, for handling her town hall showdown particularly well.
We’d also note that it probably isn’t a coincidence that as the country is struggling with how to manage the ongoing explosion of health care costs, a new report is out today that income inequality has reached an all-time high. One important reason for that is that for years now, the compensation increases for all but the wealthiest Americans have been entirely diverted by their employers to pay for their health care.
