Since 2008 and the onset of the Great Bush Depression, we have seen some of the most remarkable and inane economic theories ever proposed and some of the greatest revisions in economic history ever put upon the American People. For example, with 15 million people out of work and Europe on its back, many conservative [...]

Starting Over in the New World
April 25th, 2013 · Comments Off · ALEC, Economics, Politics, Populism
There is an ongoing petulant argument being carried out in what one might call the economic and political press. Should we cut government which will supposedly make us leaner and meaner and more ready to expand our economy? Or should we create more jobs, try to jump start the economy, create public jobs and revenues [...]

April 16th, 2013 · Comments Off · Economics, Politics, Populism, Social Security, The Budget, Wall Street
So what are the solutions to our economic problems? They’d better be good. The Bush Administration left us with an enormous mess. In January of 2009, the first month of the Obama Administration, 779,000 people lost their jobs. The average number of jobs lost in the first quarter of 2009, was 753,000….per month. The American [...]

March 26th, 2013 · 1 Comment · Capitalism, Economics, Politics, Populism
We have talked about the problems with our economy. We have discussed how they have been caused by a cynical use of failed economic policies by Republican politicians backed by billionaires and giant corporations. But one person sticks out to us as analogous to the entire period of Neo-Conservative dominance of the weak American mind. [...]

The Failure of Conservative Economics Part V – The Bush-Cheney Depression
March 14th, 2013 · Comments Off · ALEC, Capitalism, Corporations and Industry, Economics, Media, Politics, Populism, The Budget
The United States has been in decline since 1981. That was when Ronald Reagan’s charismatic personality took over the country. Reagan was the all-time, All-American, schoolboy President. The gosh-golly-gee whiz President came to power overwhelmed by the more sophisticated long-range plans of the Corporatists. They saw his gullibility and his charm as an opening to [...]

Time Out –A Look at the Republican Non-budget
March 12th, 2013 · Comments Off · ALEC, Capitalism, Corporations and Industry, Economics, Health Care, Politics, Populism, Social Security, taxes, The Budget
Before we can return to the Failure of Conservative Economics, we must address a current issue on today’s Neo-Conservative agenda…the Paul Ryan Republican Budget for 2013. We need to examine the premises here and debunk the stuff that is simply wrong. Paul Ryan announced the Republican Budget on March 12, 2013 and it fell with [...]

Failure of Conservative Economics, Part III The Big Economic Lie
February 10th, 2013 · Comments Off · Capitalism, Economics, General, Politics, Populism
No discussion of Conservative economics will be complete without a full analysis and review of the theories of Fredrich Hayek.

The Failure of Conservative Economics–Part II. Ronald Reagan
January 27th, 2013 · Comments Off · Economics, Politics, Populism
In the period from the 1950s until the late 1970s, the Conservatives were largely considered Right Wing radicals and economic zealots. Republicans of those days were mostly moderate, even some liberal, as with the Nelson Rockefeller wing of the party. The Republican Right Wing presented a political problem as it had a series of rather [...]
Moving to the Left
November 15th, 2012 · 1 Comment · jobs, Politics, Populism, taxes
If you are a Populist, you should not think that the elections on November 6, 2012 solved anything. We elected a President and Senators and House members. But they were not all Populists. Until we elect officials who are dedicated to the will and the common good of the People, much remains to be done. [...]
