He's rattling the cages.

Wondering how many of these, and future 'complainers,' are/have been/will have been encouraged by tptb.

As he gains traction and gets noticed, watch out!

He's not afraid of any of them. He has courage by the truckloads.

We are so pleased with him (and worried about his funding) that we sent him some more $.

and planning to do so shortly (in spite of the damn markets.)

I would trust O'Malley more than the other candidates to lead us out of it. He was pretty good at the helm when Maryland got hit by the last recession.

But this will be a worldwide decline, led by price drops in commodities. We will see lots of contraction and deflation, especially if the Fed raises interest rates.

Scary stuff ahead. We will have to hug the people we love and hold on to the things that count.

Another thing I like about O'Malley, even though it goes against my nature: He is an unflappable optimist. He believes in people.

What a terrific and lovable fool he is.

(About the Fed, just heard the ST. Louis fed bd member thinks raising now a good idea!

Unflappable optimistic techie, sounds good to me!

If they raise rates in September, that will trigger a recession and also likely a deflationary cycle. Very bad.

The world economy is going sour. The Far East and Europe are not going to do well.

About O'Malley: Everyone who meets him face to face likes him. He just has that kind of personality and can-do outlook that makes you feel comfortable.

World economy's a mess, and don't know that anyone has a handle on it.

I thought that, WAIT… I was told here on DU that O'Malley was a Third Way Member!!!



After What MO'M did in Maryland against so many Odds, I WELCOME the NRA and its hatred (and it race bating) I posted this OP a little while ago: http://www.democraticunderground.com/12812551

To Trump and the NRA: MO'M supporters are more than happy to have you attack us!

I know how this media machine works… and this is gonna get really interesting.

And which billionaires, pray tell, are backing him up? The man is running his campaign on nickels and dimes.

Even the barest nodding acquaintance with his background and achievements would have dispelled that drivel.

But it takes time and hard work to read and learn and observe what makes a candidate tick. It is easier to repeat and magnify a few shopworn criticisms.

Soon O'Malley will be giving more free lessons in the difference between talk and action.

As he often says: First understand, and then act.

and lately untruths seems to get more attention than what is real and verifiable.

From the Third Way: http://www.thirdway.org/newsroom/press-releases/third-way-statement-on-governor-martin-omalleys-social-security-plan

Yeah, he's TOTALLY a member of that group….

Now, the next time anyone posts that silly picture, ask them to explain how beholden he is.

SHDM.

You mean - help me . . . I'm new to the world.

Expanding Social Security for our older Americans who can't get by is like -


NOT a "turd" way idea?

Who'da thunk it.

I need to get out more.

Pssstttt - a quick DU search of my user name and SS will yield all kinds of commentary over the years about how the simple act of taxing my full salary for SSI would give a tremendous boost to the fund while also allowing an expansion to who is eligible (age limits being lowered) and an increase in the benes. This is also a woman's issue - SS is when Ledbetter figured out how seriously she had been hosed. Think of this - at the peak of my mom's career she was a hotel management VP with close to 30 hotels under her region. At her peak in the 90's - she made about 60% of what I make now. She was born in 1947. Our baby boomers had the game's rules changed half way through. Our boomer and older women . . . They never had the full set of rules in the first place.

So yes - the burden for righting those two wrongs falls on Gen X and the millenials. I refuse to live in a country where older people eat cat food. I refuse.

Why yes Mr. O'Malley - you are.

Hence my support for you!

I turned away from the socialist candidate over this issue (can I get a refund?). O'Malley is clear about where he stands on this issue, and I agree enthusiastically with him.
