DECATUR, Ill. – Mike Riggen is out of work. Most of his friends are out of work, too. He’s raising two children on his own and they have expensive health problems.
Riggen could use some good news, but he doesn’t think he’ll get it from President Barack Obama and the Democratic Party.
“I’ve been a Democrat all my life, but I don’t know any more,” Riggen, 52, said as he shared a pizza with his children at a union hall. “Nothing’s going right.”
