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 [...]

ALEC and the Corporate Takeover of America
May 14th, 2012 · Comments Off · Capitalism, Corporations and Industry, Fascism, Lobbying, Politics, Populism
Our government at local, state and national levels is being confiscated by huge corporations. It is happening every day in state legislatures all over the country. Our major corporations belong to a Right Wing organization called the American Legislative Exchange Council, more commonly known as ALEC. Their job is to advance their goals at the [...]

The Salesman of Hate

In 2003, a scumbag by the name of Mark Levin was encouraged by two other scumbags, Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh, both of whom made tens of millions of dollars by trashing the government, the Middle Class and the poor and supporting the military-industrial complex, even though they never have, and never would, see the [...]

The nice thing about “stupid” is that you don’t have to make anything up or manipulate anything or try to exaggerate anything…stupid is as stupid does. Rarely, however, do public men who are so stupid that you wonder how they can tie their shoes allow their stupidity to show up in the clear, bright glare [...]

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 [...]

The Planned Koch Brothers’ Political Takeover
February 8th, 2012 · Comments Off · Capitalism, Human Rights, Politics, Populism
You must understand one thing. A vote for a Republican is a vote for Neo-Fascist group whose only ultimate political strategy is to put the opposition…who will be in enormous numbers…into concentration camps. Before you scoff and cry conspiracy nut, look at it logically. Citizens United makes it possible…it has already happened…for billionaires to elect [...]

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 [...]

The Parable of the Thieves
January 22nd, 2012 · 1 Comment · Health Care, Lobbying, Media, Politics, Populism, taxes, Wall Street
When reason fails, people fall back on superstition. The American society has long operated under the basic principle that hard work creates abundance and abundance may solve all our earthly ills. When that logic, which has always been one of our foundations, along with “fair play” and “brotherhood” among citizens…although a creaky stair-climb with many [...]

Jobs and the Current American Economic Disaster
October 13th, 2011 · Comments Off · Capitalism, jobs, Politics, Populism, Wall Street
Since the Fall of 2008, the U.S. economy a dynamic enterprise of about $15 trillion dollars, as measured in employment, has fallen by about 8 million people. There were already about 7 million people unemployed, or 7% by the end of 2007, a roller coaster ride up and down after the Clinton Administration when unemployment [...]

Unless You Are a Millionaire–or a Bigot–You Should Not Vote Republican.

It is time that we all faced facts, looked at ourselves in the mirror and asked ourselves who we are. If you are part of a group that makes racial slurs and condones the bigoted signs of demonstrators or laughs at the racist jokes of radio commentators, or applauds the disrespect for the Presidency of [...]

Fascist Republicans Stealing Votes
September 12th, 2011 · 1 Comment · Politics, Populism
What is the essential element in a free society? It is the independent, uninfluenced, unimpeded opportunity to vote for the candidate of your choice. You may be influenced by media or by an organization or by friends or a political party to vote a certain way. But if the candidate turns out to be a [...]

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 [...]

Is Tim Pawlenty Dumber than Palin or Bachmann?
June 8th, 2011 · 1 Comment · Politics
Here’s an imaginative new platform for a Republican Candidate. Tim Pawlenty’s blistering slogan is: “A Better Deal.” Huh? That’s it? For God’s sake, governor, get your own motto; don’t fall back on Liberal mottoes for policies that actually worked. The New Deal and the Fair Deal and the New Frontier…Democratic slogans for when the United [...]

A Time for Action
May 27th, 2011 · Comments Off · Lobbying, Politics, Wall Street
Normally, we all look to events for encouragement or emotional uplift that demands that we get up out of our chairs. Not everyone. Some people are motivated 24/7/365 against injustice, denial of human rights or intense need by some member or segment of society. When Haiti happened, for example, or when the monster earthquakes hit [...]
