It was the economy stupid

Part of the reason Republicans lost is that they have absolutely no idea just how much working families are struggling. Every time a pundit tried to bring up the struggle of the working man or woman, the Republicans would say something along the lines of the Dow is at a record high so the economy is doing great.

If they had taken the time to look beyond their buddies on Wall Street, they would have seen articles like this one from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that says demand at food pantries is way up and the cupboards are bare.

Please take some time during your holiday shopping to add some extra food in your cart and drop it off at a local food pantry.
