Forums - Politics - What do you think will happen with the State of the Union address tonight?

Pretty much nothing. Obama will try to pick a fight on minimum wage that he will lose. Thats about it...

Just another fine day in the supreme apex of 5,000 years of civilization and democratic achievement, my friend.



 

 

 

 

 

He will do what he always does.. find someone else to blame.



Democrats will mostly like, Republicans will rip it to shreds, rich will get richer and the poor will get poorer. In other words, business as usual.



Thanks for the heads up, better check the dvr for any scheduling screw ups.
As I suspected, 33 channels with State of the union address tonight according to the tv guide. That's money well spent...

The poor don't get poorer though.  Or at least not as a general rule.

The only thing remotley supporting that is that wages haven't kept up with inflation...

Except the problem with that is it accounts all inflation.

It only counts as getting poorer if you consider having less of a percentage of bigger pie as being poorer.

That said, the 8 years or so have been rough, first with the wiping out of assets, then with the economic recovery basically only benefitting those rich enough to have investments.

 

As a general rule though.  It's not the poor are getting poorer, the poor are getting richer.  It's just the rich are getting stupidly richer, making those who judge their wealth by comparison rather then by what they have feel poorer.



Obama will say some meaningless crap that he won't stick to. Like always.

Prediction: Switch 2 will outsell the PS5 by 2030

Brock Lesnar will run in and take Obama out with a steal chair and declare himself President (with Paul Heyman as his Vice President). This will set the stage for a Obama vs. Lesnar match at Wrestlemania.

Lesnar will be the best President of the last twenty years.
