There were people who thought Paul Ryan was a genius. Then Democrats and Independents and Seniors began to analyze his plan. He quickly became a dunce. The Republicans had no other budget plan. So they voted on it. They passed it in the House. The Democrats, who could not believe their good fortune, quickly pounced [...]

“It’s a beautiful day in this neighborhood…a beautiful day for a neighbor..would you be mine…could you be mine….” Oh, yeah. Mister Rogers had nothing on the way the political parties are trying to attract Independent voters and Senior citizens. But the fact is that there is a significant difference. It is a difference that is [...]

A Time for Action
May 27th, 2011 · Comments Off · Lobbying, Politics, Wall Street
Normally, we all look to events for encouragement or emotional uplift that demands that we get up out of our chairs. Not everyone. Some people are motivated 24/7/365 against injustice, denial of human rights or intense need by some member or segment of society. When Haiti happened, for example, or when the monster earthquakes hit [...]

Let’s Talk About the National Budget.
May 21st, 2011 · Comments Off · Corporations and Industry, energy, jobs, Politics, taxes, Wall Street, wars and militarism
Phony baloney. Just like Walker in Wisconsin, the talk about “austerity” is a bunch of rich white men talking bull shit about what needs to be done. We don’t need austerity. Not the kind the Republicans are talking about. We need prosperity. You see, the problem with the United States right now is that we [...]

From time to time we may begin to drop in a little digest of Right Wing lies and other assorted items you may be able to use to set the record straight. Why Are Some Companies and States Getting Waivers from the Health Care Reform Bill? Mona Charen, a Right Wing writer for the Right [...]
National Debt Solution: Create Jobs. Repeal Tax Cuts. Nationalize Energy
May 16th, 2011 · Comments Off · Economics, energy, Politics, taxes
It is time for a reality check. It is far beyond time for a reality check. We are standing on the edge of a giant precipice and we are about to fall out of the kind of society that we have built over about 250 years. We are about to fall into the abyss of [...]

Revolution!
May 10th, 2011 · Comments Off · Capitalism, Economics, Politics
Let’s be very clear. We could very well be on the edge of revolution. The Republican Party, which now controls the House of Representatives, the Supreme Court, the Governorships of 39 states is trying to take this country into total Depression. A full-on Depression, which would almost certainly follow a failure to increase the debt [...]

The Massacre of the Middle Class
May 7th, 2011 · Comments Off · Human Rights, Labor, Politics, Populism
In 2010, Americans were actually called upon to vote whether or not they would like to create an oligarchy, a ruling elite, that would remove all political power from the average citizen. In some states they voted to do it. Now some are saying that they made a mistake and want a do-over. In Wisconsin, [...]

The Catastrophic Failure of the American Spirit
May 1st, 2011 · Comments Off · Corporations and Industry, Human Rights, Politics
Today is one of the saddest days in the history of the American Republic. Americans proved that they have failed in maintaining the spirit of communal support that built this country. We have clearly failed when tested. The Rich have taken control, just as Jefferson and Adams and George Washington feared could happen. Democrats in [...]
