The Socialism Deniers and the "Better Deal"

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), still reeling from the electoral thrashing put on them by Donald Trump and the Republicans last November, announced a major charade this week. Their Democrat Party is, once again, attempting to reboot and re-brand itself into something it's not.

The party is adopting a new slogan for its policy props, "A Better Deal." Yes, it's a cheap knock-off of Franklin Roosevelt's 1933 "New Deal" slogan and is an updated do-over of FDR's failed socialist policies while cloaking them in the language of Donald Trump's middle class appeal.

Barack Obama used FDR's model to buy two presidential elections, so why not try it again? So what if the Democrats' last grand national experiment with centralized statist policies, the so-called "Great Society," was also an abysmal failure. All that's important to Pelosi, Schumer and the rest of their party is a return to power. And if they can fool enough people at the ballot box with false promises based on economic centralization and wealth redistribution, they'll accomplish their mission.

Of course, the best contemporary case study in the failure of Democrat regulatory schemes is the so-called "Affordable Care Act" — ObamaCare — or what's left of it today..

Fact is, the new and improved “Better Deal” will prove to be nothing more than all the previous Democrat’s socialist Raw Deals over the past century.

How do I know?

Electoral thrashing? He lost the popular vote haha. Before you call me a snowflake I voted for him, I have the unique ability that most of you lack which is being able to be impartial.

He did not lose the popular vote in the states that he won. The overall vote is meaningless. Otherwise we can just let CA and NY decide future elections.

I always love slogans like this. Better deal? Better than what? Better than the competitor's or better than what you had before?

I like the part where Pelosi is the house "MINORITY" speaker and Schumer is the senate "MINORITY" speaker. That means they are in the minority (the lessor part or smaller number; less than half). Maybe that should be their new slogan: We are the Minority, hear us squeak!

They don't actually say for whom the deal will be better.

One might rightly suspect that they mean that it'll be them and their friends and not the rest of us.
