Disgraceful. The financial sector has pilfered middleclass America three times in the last several years. They created constructs to inflate the economy robbing us blind on the way up. When their legally corrupt financial instruments failed, they forced us to bail them out. After bailing them out they refuse to put these monies to work in America based on false narratives. When will we as American get that we are continuously being snowed by these titan of finance? When will America drop its gullibility  index and support not only PINO (progressives in name only) but real progressives that work for the well being of all. I just wrote the book “As I See It: Class Warfare Is The Only Resort To Right Wing Doom” that details these issues and provide a framework that could be a solution. The books home page is at http://bit.ly/cZbZad. Take a look at it. A hedge fund manager's latest letter to investors has caused something of a stir among financial pundits, drawing comments from Paul Krugman, … [Read more...]

While I give the president kudos for calling out the Republicans on passing the tax cuts for small businesses I think he is way behind the curve in being interventionist in the economy. The titans of capitalism have failed America and it is now time that we use Keynesian economic principles to stabilize this economy. While most have been indoctrinated into believing that big government is bad the reality is big corporations is what is bad as their is no accountability to the masses. Our indoctrination is simply exacerbated by those who want to promote small government being so bad at it. I’ve written a  book that I sure hope many read to put some perspective on the level of indoctrination and the results thereof. Please check it out here. WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama exhorted Congress on Monday to make passing a long-languishing small business aid package its first order of business when it returns next month from its summer break. "I ask Senate Republicans to drop the … [Read more...]

You follow up if you feel he skated the question. Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy … [Read more...]

  Nothing is more important to Republican politicians these days than jobs and the deficit—at least according to Republican politicians. As House Minority Leader John Boehner put it in a "major economic address" on Tuesday, President Obama is "doing everything possible to prevent jobs from being created" while refusing to do anything at all "about bringing down the deficits that threaten our economy." Elect Republicans in November, Boehner assured his audience, and we will put an end to this insanity. There's only one problem with Boehner's message: so far, the things that Republicans have said they want to do won't actually boost employment or reduce deficits. In fact, much the opposite. By combing through a variety of studies and projections from nonpartisan economic sources, we here at Gaggle headquarters have found that if Republicans were in charge from January 2009 onward—and if they were now given carte blanche to enact the proposals they want … [Read more...]
