Arianna appeared on CNN's Fareed Zakaria GPS to discuss the Tea Party's declining role in the GOP presidential race.
Speaking about lingering economic issues, she said, "the people on the ground do not feel that the economy is getting better," she said. "Services are being cut, all these 600,000 public sector jobs that have been cut under Obama have impacted communities in a disproportionate way."

He just came out against military spending too, so I feel quite hopeful about the future. The Tea Party was my idea and I was glad when he started promoting it, because I knew without the support of guys like him, it never would have gotten anywhere. We could not break through the media cone of silence without the help of guys like him.
It has been very successful. The Tea Party did exactly what I wanted it to do, but now I have moved on to Occupy and I expect most of the more talented Tea Party leaders have moved on with me.
600,000 public sector employees cut under Obama. Unemployment (in the last month) came down because more than an additional 200.000 people quit looking for work. The average period of unemployment is at a all time high more than 6 and one half months. When you include all the people who have been forced to take part time jobs the real number and all those people who have unsuccessfully applied for jobs in the last six months the government's number is over 15.1 percent. When you add the 2.1 percent of the workforce who have completely given up the real total unemployment number is 18 Percent.

Having lived in the 1960's, I can tell you that the Civil Rights Act was wanted by most people, it is the 'details', that some in Congress wanted discussed a bit more.
But, LBJ rushed it through after the Democratic Party filibustered it for weeks, without a real solid review by committee's. That's why he voted no. Racists sometimes are those who charge others with the name.
Arianna -- this is what the Republicans campaigned for -- more government job cuts. Now that they're cut, the Republicans districts are being effected. The postman, the city clerk, the court worker. These are government jobs and Everybody wanted those jobs cut. Now they're cut and those folks are on the unemployment rolls. You can't have it both ways.
exactly
the republican mantra that budget cuts creates jobs is a lie
the economy is being undercut by public sector job losses
without these cuts, the unemployment rate would be .5 percent less
And do you read her posts on HP? Well written even you don't agree.
