    Doesn't anything socialistic make you want to throw up? Like great public schools, or health insurance for all?

    Is This Some Kind of Sick Joke?

    Obama gets Nobel Peace prize, turns around and escalates an unnecessary occupation of Afghanistan.

    Now Bernanke is Time Magazine’s Person of the Year after caving to Wall Street investment banks and AIG by bailing them out rather than busting them [...]



    Fed Job for Life

    Bernie may be right but like many in our government, Bernanke has a job for life no matter what he does or fails to do.  He has about as much chance of being fired as single payer legislation getting passed by Congress.  The Federal Reserve, like the Pentagon, is another shadow government.  The people behind the curtains are calling the shots.  [...]



    Return to the Gilded Age

    Bail out the rich.  Fail to regulate corporations.  Allow unconstrained corporate compensation agreements.  Do not facilitate unionization of workers.  Allow big corporations to control the media.  Make free trade more important than our manufacturing industries.  Ignore environmental priorities.  Keep taxes low.  Deficit spend on the military.  Constrain health care and infrastructure expenditures.

    And expect things to get better.

    Remember when the Bush Administration promised us that peace, prosperity and a pony for each and every American would result from their massive tax cuts?

    Sadly, we didn’t get the pony, despite the horseshit rhetoric. What we got was one of the worst recessions in history, with job losses outdoing all previous downturns save for the Great Depression itself.

    For the first time on record, middle [...]



    a day for pitchforks

    It’s the best of times for Goldman Sachs, and the worst of times for the rest of us.

    Ironic that this news would break on Bastille Day:

    Goldman Sachs’ profits for the second quarter smashed Wall Street estimates and are likely to trigger a windfall for bankers.

    The bank, long considered the most prestigious and profitable on Wall Street, recorded net profits of $3.44bn in the [...]
