The tax cut extension didn't hurt anyone, it just raised the deficit a bit... whatever the annual loss is times 2, that much. Provide proof of your statement or just admit that you care more about satiating a need to do something punitive to the wealthy and you actually don't give a damn about the unemployed.

Extended unemployment and keeping middle class tax levels stable were actions that likely saved many people from foreclosure or eviction and kept some food on the table. Those were actions.

And whether you want to admit it or not, the healthcare bill saves a lot of lives as we are seeing storing surfacing about this every single day.

And financial reform was the boldest of its kind in several decades, with or without some of the bolder reforms progressives called for.

Those were all actions and actions that undoubtedly and undeniably helped a lot of people. Taxing the rich helps our accounting but it won't put a drop of food on one god damn table.
