A Gimmick System

Here is what the communications director of the Arkansas Republican Party said about Senator Mark Pryor's "Jobs Day" measure...

“Senator Pryor’s ‘Jobs Day’ is an insulting gimmick to Arkansans dealing with the highest unemployment rate in nearly a generation,” said Republican Party of Arkansas Communications Director Katherine Vasilos. “Instead of proposing - or voting on - real solutions for private sector job growth, Sen. Pryor is offering nothing more than a distraction to Arkansans.

She is 100% correct about that.  Too bad for her Republican Senator John Boozman was an original co-sponsor of the gimmick.

We have a captured two-party system that has resulted in a broken political system in this country.   The apparatchiks who work their way up in that system either can not or will not make the serious changes necessary to prevent economic collapse.   American families may go hungry because this system will not reform itself.   We are stuck on a loop and the players don't even know what do to except parrot the other sides' gimmicks.
