I could care less if Elizabeth warren claims Native American heritage to be honest white people are entirely responsible for anybody with even a minuscule of ethnic minority diversity as identifying as such.

What does that even mean?

You don't care if Warren (who is white) claims to have a Native American heritage because white people are entirely responsible for people making such claims.

Shouldn't you, by that logic, be extremely ticked off, that a prominent white politician used that claim to knowingly and falsely take advantage of that identification for self advancement?

This topic really should be in the hypocrisy thread.

You are right this should be in the hypocrisy thread. What I mean is that we are so hell bent on forcing identification of race and ethnicity that we should not be surprised when people use it as such. I cannot justify being ticked off when we are the ones that continue to support and reelect said politicians. Until we stop we are going to reap what we sow. Personally I am more upset that the dubious genetic test is being used as evidence, our scientific understanding is atrocious and an embarrassment.

Thanks for clarifying. I am in total agreement with you.

According to RCP polling averages if the election were counted today, the Republicans actually gain 2 senate seats

The house is going to be a quagmire of nothingness. Many on here won't believe this, but I'm kind of hoping the house goes democratic. And my rationale is history. I think Reagan made alot of good compromises when he had to deal with Tip O'Neal. I didn't necessarily like all of them, but the split government works better for Republicans if they have the Senate and Presidency. I would even say when Clinton lost the House, it made his presidency better too. With the whole house up every 2 years, I think it makes negotiations more accomplishable then in the senate where only 1/3 changes at a time.

Maybe a Democratic house and Republican senate could work together with Trump, and actually make headway on healthcare, immigration, and the country's debt issue.

The country has to find a way to move forward in some unity. Doesn't it?

Wages and salaries jump by 3.1%, highest level in a decade

Wage increases have been the missing link in the economy since the recovery began in mid-2008.

What an amazing idea, paying people more helps the economy. Wonder where we’ve heard that before.

Where's the outrage from "normal citizens"?
If you don't want to be called a racist then you should probably speak up at some point.

How about that economy

What an amazing idea, paying people more helps the economy. Wonder where we’ve heard that before.

No, it's the reverse, a growing economy helps raise all the boats. It worked with Reagan's tax cuts, and it's working now.

We've had several quarters of positive GDP growth, lower unemployment, and those pressures, not government interference are what lead to wage growth.
