Yeah, it's a battleground.

People who don't think that they have futures tend to act in the present.

We need a chief executive who actually cares about Americans - and about putting the poorest Americans to work. Unfortunately we are stuck with one who doesn't give a rat's rear end about the poorest Americans.
