In 1994, in an interview, Milton Friedman said that in the 1990s there is “much less optimism and all the problems have been produced by government.” This is the essential argument between the two political parties in the United States today. One pretends to be the party of Conservatives, whom they define as people like [...]

Romney’s Lies and the Future of America
October 11th, 2012 · Comments Off · Democracy, Economics, General, Politics, Populism
The first Presidential campaign debate of the 2012 campaign was generally seen by the political punditry as a victory for the contender. Not only did he show style and seem to show substance, but he had an aggressive posture that allowed him to call the President a liar. Well, he didn’t say that exactly but [...]

It’s the Economy…Or Is It?
July 4th, 2012 · 1 Comment · Democracy, Economics, Politics, Populism, taxes
Sometimes it seems that economists live in a world different from ours. We have bills to pay, jobs to keep, children to educate. The formulas that economists constantly elaborate upon seem to have little to do with daily life. Of course that is not true. The outcome of macroeconomic calculation can have an enormous impact [...]

How Conservatism Becomes Fascism
June 23rd, 2012 · 2 Comments · ALEC, Democracy, Fascism, Human Rights, jobs, Lobbying, Media, Politics, Populism, taxes
In 1946, in one of the great cosmopolitan cities of Europe, ancient and yet contemporary, with a tradition of culture, music, popular culture and modern art, an old woman, dressed in a ragged coat, with an old woolen bandana wrapped around her head dragged a small cart down the street. The formerly popular neighborhood was [...]

What Would Romney Do?
May 26th, 2012 · Comments Off · Democracy, Fascism, Politics, Populism, Social Security
Willard Mitt Romney is virtually assured the candidacy of the Republican Party. He is already campaigning as if he were. And he has grabbed on to the Republican message, the Ultra Right Wing new message of the Republican Party with a vengeance. His message is clear. His message is that he will handle the American [...]

The Scott Walker Story
May 21st, 2012 · 2 Comments · ALEC, Corporations and Industry, Democracy, Fascism, Human Rights, jobs, Labor, Lobbying, Politics, Populism
Being fair to Governor Scott Walker of Wisconsin is very difficult. It is like trying to be fair in analyzing the administration of Benito Mussolini. There is so much on the negative side and so little on the positive side that it is extraordinarily difficult to be objective. We will try to give his side [...]

The Danger of a Nazi America
April 26th, 2012 · 2 Comments · Culture, Democracy, General, Human Rights, Politics, Populism, wars and militarism
A lot of Right Wing radio commentators toss around the word “Nazi” these days and it seems that many of them have no idea what they are talking about. Of all absurd things, they call the President a Nazi at times when they are really getting loony. President Barack Obama is a man whom many [...]

The High Cost of Neo-Fascism
February 15th, 2012 · 2 Comments · Democracy, Health Care, Human Rights, Labor, Politics, Populism, Social Security, taxes, The Budget
At the very outset, let’s restate our definition of Neo-Fascism. Even if you do not agree with our definition of the current Republican Party being Neo-Fascist, you will at least know why we make that contention. Remember, Populism is the opposite of Fascism. Populism is a political theory that says that everything starts with the [...]

Republican Crimes Against the People
July 27th, 2012 · Comments Off · Democracy, Fascism, Media, obstruction, Politics, Populism, taxes
The country is divided. North, South, East, West…we argue about everything. And why? Because we now have a system that allows organizations, newscasters, politicians, even ministers to lie in public and get away with it. That results in large moneyed interests using politicians and anyone whose loyalty they can buy for a few pieces of [...]
