More about "the new normal"

I want to call your attention to a post over on Democratic Underground that has the following for a headline:

~

If you had told me ten years ago that...

~

And here how it gets started:

the U.S. would be accused of torture, that there would be photographic proof of such torture, and that a former U.S. president would flat out admit in writing that he had sanctioned such torture…

a Democratic president would insist upon massive tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires, but not on extended unemployment benefits for people who had been out of work for more than 99 weeks…

twenty-two states would be considering measures that would intentionally substantially DECREASE the number of eligible voters…

public education funding would be eviscerated in virtually every U.S. state with still no mention of a possible tax increase for the wealthy or for corporations…

There's more. Do click through and read the comments as well. ~

I wouldn't have believed this stuff either.
