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 [...]

Obamacare is the Answer, Ryancare the Disaster
May 31st, 2011 · 1 Comment · Economics, Health Care, Politics, Populism, taxes
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 [...]

Who Is Scaring All Those Seniors…and Why?
May 30th, 2011 · Comments Off · Corporations and Industry, Economics, Health Care, Politics, taxes
“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 Better Way to Balance Budgets
April 13th, 2011 · Comments Off · Health Care, Lobbying, Politics, taxes, Wall Street
The Republicans are not interested in balancing the budget. They are interested in cutting taxes. Does anyone deny that? We have a $14 trillion national debt and yet they cut taxes on the wealthy and added $800 billion to the national debt over the next two years. Only after that did they start talking about [...]

Paul Ryan and the Right Wing Budget to Oblivion
April 7th, 2011 · Comments Off · Politics, taxes
Representative Paul Ryan recently announced the Republican long-term budget plan. He calls it, jokingly perhaps, “Path to Prosperity.” It is a roadmap to hell for the American Economy, the security and solvency of the American family, and the democratic political system of the United States. Ryan’s plan is to make himself a hero by leading [...]

Dr. Paul Goes to Washington
April 4th, 2011 · Comments Off · Politics
Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky spoke recently at a fund raising event for the Republican Party in the state of Iowa and he had some interesting remarks. Rand Paul is a man who may somehow have persuaded himself that he is a fiscal rebel, but is quickly persuading the rest of us that he is, [...]

The Neocon Republican No-jobs Plan
March 26th, 2011 · Comments Off · jobs, Politics
In the United States, right now, March 2011, we have about 111 million people gainfully employed. About 6.9 million of those are employed part time, that is, less than 35 hours a week, but looking for full time work. Another 6 million are unemployed and looking for full time work. So the unemployed looking for [...]

Laffer Is Laughable…But It’s Not Funny.
February 10th, 2011 · Comments Off · Politics, taxes, Wall Street
Does anyone believe that Arthur Laffer, Ronald Reagan’s guru, the author and prime suspect in the catastrophe known as “voodoo economics” is really an economist? He does. And after years of hard work–economics is not bean bags;there are equations and charts and calculations, and sticking your neck out to make projections–he deserves to consider himself [...]

The Reagan Legacy
February 9th, 2011 · Comments Off · Capitalism, Economics, Politics
The American scene has changed since 1980 and not for the better. What is our biggest problem today? That’s right: the national debt. Everything to do with the national debt goes back to Ronald Reagan. And it is much more complex and sinister than just the numbers, which themselves are staggering. From the end of [...]

The Problem with Cowboys
January 28th, 2011 · Comments Off · Politics
When you elect a guy who really only wanted to be a cowboy as President of the United States, you have a big problem. Because…who follows cowboys? Cattle. And who follows after cattle? Well, more cattle, of course. And then you can imagine people who want to trail along behind the herd. They don’t go [...]
Why Tax Cuts for the Rich? Because They Think They Can.
December 15th, 2010 · Comments Off · Politics, taxes
If you think that we need a reduction in taxes from the Bush-Cheney 2001 and 2003 tax cuts, you need to get the facts. You are being sold a bill of goods, a scam, a lie about taxes so that a few rich men who will benefit greatly want you to think that you will [...]

Republicans Plan Tax Cuts for Billionaires.
November 10th, 2010 · Comments Off · Media, Politics
Rule number one—always remember that the current Republican Party is out to get you unless you are a multi-millionaire and a donor to the Republican Party. Republicans at the top are all millionaires, like Dick Cheney who left government only for a few years to clean up as President of Halliburton by using his Defense [...]
