Both parties in the US are so beholden to the rich corporations that getting them to do anything that would actually help the " middle class" is impossible. Take for example the number of bankers going to jail for fraud for selling bad securities. Not one! Or if some corporations are too big to fail why isn't something being done to break them up so instead of taking down the whole system THEY could fail and take the consequences instead of all of us paying for their mistakes. They keep not only running the show, but making big bonuses for getting Govt to bail them out? Not a lot of incentive for them not to keep doing other things like laundering money and manipulating prices for % interest.

Any ideas on how to organize a response to this eternal deadlock that is going to keep happening so they can just blame each other and never get serious about actually doing something constructive? The Democrats and Republicans won't allow another party to grow without a fight. Any ideas on how to get around that?

How about forming a think tank? The internet was made for that.

Don't know about you, but I have no desire to live in a what amounts to a one party with 2 heads system run by the rich.

My wife had surgery that requires more than 12 weeks of recovery. If she is out longer than 12 weeks she looses her status and benefits. In NC USA, does anyone know where to get advice to see if there is some way around this? She needs a few more weeks recovery time, but we can't afford for her to loose her status of especially her benefits.

My mother has Alzheimer's and lives in an assisted living home. She barely makes too much for Medicaid. All of her savings are gone and we don't have the money to keep her in assisted living. Does anybody know where we can get ANY help? We live in NC.
