Jobs, jobs, jobs. It is the mantra of the Liberals. It may also be the mantra of anyone who is out of work and would like to simply earn a living. Seems too much for the Neoconservative Neanderthals to understand.
There is one thing that the Liberals and Progressives must lodge firmly in their consciousness [...]

Unemployment, Job Creation, and Back-of-the-Envelope Economics
March 10th, 2010 · No Comments · General, Health Care, Politics, jobs
Do you want a job? Do you need a job or know anyone who does? Do you think that there are fewer jobs than are necessary for the workforce right now?
Sounds stupid, doesn’t it? Sounds ridiculous. Apparently not to Senators John Kyl of Arizona and Sentor Jim Bunning of Kentucky. Bunning held up unemployment insurance [...]

Profile of a Neoconservative: How Neocons Think and Vote.
March 7th, 2010 · No Comments · Media, Politics, jobs, wars and militarism
Peter Roskam was elected in 2006 to fill the seat of Rep. Henry Hyde, who retired and died. Roskam is a typical Neoconservative Republican…e.g., a Neocon. He had been a member of the Illinois State House of Representatives. He was in favor of cutting taxes. (Not very controversial.) He was in favor of preventing [...]

The Grim State of the Nation
February 24th, 2010 · No Comments · Culture, Economics, Health Care, Politics, energy, jobs
As we are about to enter the third month of 2010, the nation is in its worst financial and economic condition since, perhaps, 1939. We have large-scale unemployment, foreclosures, bankruptcies, homelessness, hunger, lack of living essentials, and many working families with huge credit card debt. The Neoconservative Republicans who control the Republican Party, have [...]

Why Neoconservatives Vote Against Jobs.
February 5th, 2010 · No Comments · Politics, jobs
It is no secret that the Neoconservative Republicans and their friends on talk radio are against job creation. They voted 100%, every single one, against the Stimulus bill, the $787 billion jobs bill that has already created 2 million jobs. They voted overwhelmingly in late 2008 against even the Bush Administration’s attempt to push funds [...]

The Truth About the National Debt
February 2nd, 2010 · No Comments · Economics, Politics, jobs
Attention: propaganda groups! Neocons to propaganda groups: Come in Please! Attention!
Let’s distract the Helots, the Tea Baggers. Let’s send them to the opposite end of the economic spectrum, from the recovery and the need for jobs to the huge deficit so that they will not really understand what is happening in this country and [...]

We Need Unions Today More Than Ever.
February 1st, 2010 · No Comments · Courts and the Law, Culture, Economics, Politics, jobs
Under the Bush Administration, unions found themselves once again under siege. The last 29 years have been a battle against corporate lobbyists, Right-Wing radio commentators, and congressmen-turned-lobbyists. Many in the public, including many Democrats have forgotten the debt we all owe to the literally dead and wounded union warriors in the long struggle for the [...]

It’s About Jobs…and the Economy…and How We Got Here!
January 26th, 2010 · No Comments · Economics, Politics, jobs
Americans need jobs. Yes, you can say that the Gross National Product has increased a certain amount or fallen back a certain amount. You can say that our exports have risen as a percentage of our Gross National Product. You can say that the index of home values has risen against the year-over-year index. You [...]

Look For the Union Legacy.
January 19th, 2010 · No Comments · Culture, Economics, jobs
America is a society that is governed by the principle of majority rule. In a free society, some form of majority rule is the most logical application of governance. For centuries, workers have organized under the same principles of majority rule in order to use the collective power of the group to create greater leverage [...]

Profiles in Obstruction # 1: Senator James DeMint
January 5th, 2010 · No Comments · Health Care, Politics, jobs, wars and militarism
It is too easy to simply make fun of or ridicule James DeMint. And of course many would say: who are any of us mere mortals to criticize men or women who have become Senators? These are supposedly successful people in their own right, business people or former Congress persons who have demonstrated to their [...]

A Plan for Jobs and Ending the Recession
December 10th, 2009 · No Comments · Economics, Politics, jobs
There has been talk recently–finally–about creating jobs. The talk has been about using some of the TARP money to create jobs in various sectors. As a reminder, the TARP funds were those funds used from the Treasury to shore up certain banks and other investment firms plus AIG, which was ostensibly the only insurance firm. [...]

Jobs, Wind, Solar, Natural Gas, Kerry, Boxer, Carbon and the Obstructionists
October 26th, 2009 · No Comments · Economics, Politics, Science & Technology, jobs
We need jobs and we need them soon. We have about 15.1 million people unemployed, with jobs falling now at the (slowing) rate of about 200,000 per month. That’s almost one out of ten people unemployed and more than that if you consider those who would like full-time employment but have been in part-time employment [...]

The Great Right-Wing Propaganda War
November 19th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Culture, Health Care, Media, Politics, jobs
There is a war going on in this country. It is a war against the American People and a war against the truth. It is not being waged by terrorists but by a group of hugely wealthy, arch-conservative individuals who merely want…more. Their personal assets, both individually and collectively are in the billions and they [...]
