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 […]

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. […]

This is how an interview of a president is conducted. No softballs are running from issues; just matter of fact. Whether you agree with the president or not you ask the questions and let him answer. You follow up if you feel he skated the question. Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news […]

  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 […]

Lets have right size government with competence. The way to do that is to get intelligent policy wonks instead of demagogues with good sounding sound bites that accomplish nothing. New video released by the Obama administration contradicts Governor Christie’s account of why New Jersey failed to receive a $400 million dollar educational grant in the […]

GOP Leader Boehner is correct. Both Geithner and Summers need to go. They have turned out to be proxies for Wall Street and Investment Bankers. They wasted an opportunity to bring back free enterprises by in effect re-implementing supply side economics by shoring up the top with the expectation that it would trickle down. We […]

  Ken Mehlman, who headed the Republican National Committee between 2005 and 2007, has come out in an interview with the Atlantic’s Marc Ambinder: Mehlman arrived at this conclusion about his identity fairly recently, he said in an interview. He agreed to answer a reporter’s questions, he said, because, now in private life, he wants […]

I expect this will be an excellent book. It seems as it will draw Taliban & the American Right Wing parallels that many think of but refuse to articulate. If Markos HuffPo piece is indicative of what the book covers, it should be a bestseller. Does not hurt that it has the word “sex” in […]
