Here’s what “Voodoo Economics” is all about. Voodoo Economics refers to a theory put forth by economist Arthur Laffer in 1980…and perhaps remains his personal approach…that says that when you cut taxes the economic benefits that will accrue from that greater spending capacity will so greatly increase the domestic output that the resulting taxes will [...]

Republican Propagandists: Michelle Malkin
May 3rd, 2010 · No Comments · Media, Politics
Michelle Malkin rears her head every now and then to spew a little venom.
(This post may not be of much value to anyone from a political standpoint. It is simply one of those commentaries with which a lot of people who don’t like loudmouthed creeps of either sex may sympathize.)
Malkin is a sort of [...]

Beware the Ides of March and Neocon Budget Scare Tactics
March 13th, 2010 · No Comments · Economics, Politics
We are going through one of those periods right now where the Neocon anti-middle class propaganda machine is cranking out trash day and night. The result of course is that the weirdos crawl out into the daylight where you can see them and read their illiterate scrawling in every electronic blip on the Internet.
Of [...]

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 Next American Revolution
February 27th, 2010 · No Comments · Economics, Health Care, Media, Politics, wars and militarism
It is time for all Americans to stop what they are doing and think about the future. Your future has already been mapped out for you by a relatively small percentage of Americans, who want to eliminate the middle class. The Neoconservatives, on a mission for the very wealthy and huge international corporations, have the [...]

Are Neoconservatives Making Us a Laughing Stock Around the World?
February 9th, 2010 · No Comments · Health Care, Politics
I am sure that Senator Mitch McConnell, whom some pundit called, I believe, a “turtle-hybrid” recently feels that he has accomplished quite a bit for his Party this last year.
The Neoconservatives, despite repeated and repeated and frustratingly, boringly repeated efforts by the President to have them join in, be part of the government of [...]

Neoconservative Obstruction and How to End It.
January 28th, 2010 · No Comments · Politics
Since 2007, there has been a Democratic majority in the House of Representatives and a slim majority of 51-49 took over in the Senate (although Senators Tim Johnson and Robert Byrd were often unavailable.) Consequently, the Neoconservative Obstructionist Party began to use the filibuster to shut down legislation. The filibuster requires that the majority party [...]
What’s the Matter with Massachusetts?
January 20th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Politics
Scott Brown, the Republican member of the Massachusetts state legislature, who appeared nude in Cosmopolitan Magazine, is the new Senator from Massachusetts. He claims to be something like a Republican-Independent-Populist-Neoconservative-tea-bagger. His claim to populism is apparently that he owns a pickup truck. He apparently also likes baseball and football, as did George W. Bush. [...]

Lessons for the “Tea Baggers” on the Bush Recession and Republican Aid to the Rich
December 14th, 2009 · No Comments · Economics, International affairs, Politics
In November of 2008, while Barack Obama was winning an election, George W. Bush was already planning his exit. In addition to the two wars he was leaving us, the Bush Administration was preparing a surprise, a giant drop in the economy. Republicans in Wall Street had engineered speculative financial instruments based on derivatives tied [...]
