What three decades of Republican vs. Republican Light hath wrought

We gave the "War on Poverty" about, oh, five years or so and instead this has become our "supply-sided" alternative.

Four out of 5 U.S. adults struggle with joblessness, near-poverty or reliance on welfare for at least parts of their lives, a sign of deteriorating economic security and an elusive American dream. Survey data exclusive to The Associated Press points to an increasingly globalized U.S. economy, the widening gap between rich and poor, and the loss of good-paying manufacturing jobs as reasons for the trend.

Sure sounds like something to talk about, instead of say "more austerity" let alone dick-pics or the calf-size of Steve King's fictional immigrants.

So back to the Weiner stories, right media?
