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 [...]

The Failure of Conservative Economics Part VI – Our Current Problems and Why
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. [...]

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 [...]

The Failure of Conservative Economics–Pt. IV–Bush, Cheney and Big Government by Debt
February 25th, 2013 · Comments Off · Capitalism, Democracy, Economics, jobs, Lobbying, Media, obstruction, Politics, Populism, taxes, Wall Street
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 [...]

In 1946, in the shadow of the carillon tower on the campus of the University of Chicago, an economist by the name of Milton Friedman began teaching economics to some of the brightest students in the country. His particular approach to economics was by and large what might be called neo-classical liberalism. It is a [...]

Romney, Taxes, Deficits and Disaster
October 18th, 2012 · Comments Off · Politics, Populism, Romney, taxes, The Budget
Mitt Romney wants to be President. In order to become President, he must persuade the American people that he has a better plan for America to grow its economy. The focal point of that plan has become a promise to create jobs. His plan to create jobs…disappointinly…turns out to be lower tax rates for millionaires [...]

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 [...]

Newt Gingrich’s Laughable Run for President
March 1st, 2012 · 3 Comments · Capitalism, Health Care, Lobbying, Politics, Populism, Social Security, taxes
Newt Gingrich is actually a pretty smart guy. He has a little bit of Reagan in him. He likes to entrance you with a story. But then you find out the story was just that…a story…fiction…unreality. His moderate intelligence is wistfully scattered like dandelion spores in the Autumn breeze among his confused and competing thoughts. [...]

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 [...]

Here Comes the Election Year Propaganda
January 27th, 2012 · 1 Comment · Economics, Health Care, jobs, Labor, Politics, Populism, taxes
If you think you have been lied to before…you ain’t seen nuthin’ yet. It’s an election year and therefore the amount and the degree of inaccuracy of Republican statements will increase, and already have increased, exponentially. Here are just a few examples. Both Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney have blamed Barack Obama for the lack [...]

Grover Norquist: Lobbyist for the Rich
December 7th, 2011 · Comments Off · Lobbying, Politics, Populism, taxes, The Budget, wars and militarism
Grover Norquist is without question the kind of nerd that most working-class Democrats and Liberals like to attack. He comes from an affluent Republican family, grew up in the household of a corporate executive for Polaroid corporation, and has Harvard and Harvard Business School certifications indicating that he completed both required courses of study. He [...]

Returning the Great American Middle Class
October 21st, 2011 · Comments Off · Politics, Populism
This is about returning government to the People. This is about returning the Middle Class to America. If you read this and you are not a Republican, you will understand it immediately. When you do, you should send it to everyone you know and tell them to send it to everyone they know. Now they [...]

The Astonishing, Incomprehensible Mind of the of the American Neocon-Fascist
July 22nd, 2011 · Comments Off · Health Care, jobs, Lobbying, Politics, Populism, taxes
Only today, only in the most recent polls are we beginning to see the larger group of Americans turning around at some of the comments by the Tea Party and the other Neoconservative Republicans and saying: “What did he say? Did I hear that correctly?” Only now are the vast majority of normal Americans beginning [...]
