“The economy, stupid” is a phrase that was coined by James Carville in 1992. It is often quoted from a televised quip by Carville as “It’s the economy, stupid.” Carville was a strategist in Bill Clinton‘s successful 1992 U.S. presidential election against incumbent George H. W. Bush. His phrase was directed at the campaign’s workers and intended as one of three messages for them to focus on. The others were “Change vs. more of the same” and “Don’t forget health care.” Source
I was not planning on another article today, but then I went to visit Tacho’s blog, which made me want to respond to his blog. I don’t want people to think that he represents the common Latino that lives here in the United States. What did he write that got my dander up?

So if we don’t agree with him, then we are ignorant? If I don’t agree with him, I use quotes to make myself feel better. Or does it make me feel like I have accomplished something worthwhile?
None of the above is the correct answer. Unlike him and the other Spanish surname blogger, I ain’t looking for work and using my blog to seek work.
If Tacho is so disenchanted with President Biden, he can vote for the Orange Jesus in November. He will then have plenty to write about. This is what he wrote in the same article as the image above.
Politics isn’t very exciting lately, and public policy seems to suck even more when the President you voted for tries to pawn off immigration reform for genocide and war cash
Did Tacho ever have to work hard in his life? I have; I was picking cotton every summer from sunup to sundown. I worked all through college; my clothes came from the Salvation Army and Purple Heart.
I cannot understand his lack of compassion for those here in this country who are already underpaid and overworked because of the constant influx of illegal immigration. Maybe he never had family members who were farm workers trying to get better pay only to have the companies bring in people from Mexico to do the jobs. I am pretty sure that Mr. Tacho even considers Cesar Chavez a hero of some sort. Well, what did Cesar Chavez think about the use of such workers?
Think Mexican posted a link Wednesday to video of a 1972 televised interview with United Farm Workers union co-founder Cesar Chavez to its Facebook and Twitter accounts. In it, Chavez calls undocumented immigrants hired to break a strike, “wetbacks” and “illegals.”
“As long as we have a poor country bordering California, it’s going to be very difficult to win strikes,” Chavez says in the interview.
Discussing a strike against a gas and oil company, he then says: “All of a sudden yesterday morning, they brought in 220 wetbacks — these are the illegals — from Mexico.” Source
