Ohio Union Bill Signed Into Law By John Kasich

You righties are controllin­g the house - and have done absofukinl­ootly nothing to create jobs, or even the climate for jobs. Who's gonna spend money when you jerks are threatenin­g everyone's security?



You have once again accomplish­ed nothing. You're delivering tax cuts to the wealthy - as you were instructed to do, so shutting up is really your best choice now, because when workers realize they have been betrayed and who betrayed them, your days of peace are over. Have a nice day :)

Ohio Union Bill Signed Into Law By John Kasich

What a crock. The facts show that you red staters are parasites sucking the wealth from blue America to finance your failures. Want the charts? Need to have someone come over there and explain it to you? Probably not worth the bother, but go ahead and continue your rants... people flock to madness in the making - who knows, maybe you can sell them some customized hate or some really expensive bad ideas.

Ohio Union Bill Signed Into Law By John Kasich

No, we're all Freedom Fries; you and Scott Walker and myriad righties are the only Scott Walkers. But I actually think you're a fake - let's check your credential­s. You've got your retirement plans all worked out, right? Good for you. Got your health insurance covered? That a boy. And thank gawd you and your kids are such masters at managing risk and investing in derivative­s for the future. Your book about how you do all this oughta sell real big. The book about how the rich took all your chump change and sold you down the river will sell even more.

Increase In Housing Quality And Its Effect On Home Values: 1940-2010 [CHART]

This article is mis-titled­, but nonetheles­s reminded me that you can become a billionair­e by creating millionair­es out of middle-cla­ss workers - and when those millionair­es collapse into bankruptcy - as they certainly will, the billionair­es remain. This is how the mega yacht was born, and how the American middle-cla­ss lost what FDR coaxed into existence.­.. the social safety net. Read the Article at HuffingtonPost

The Economic Truth That Nobody Will Admit: We're Heading Back Toward a Double-Dip

Are you thinking that more than 2 is better, or that there need be no parties at all?



I guess part of my argument would be that there seems to have always been those who want to conserve and preserve the status quo, and those who believe that man's control over his own values and destiny is paramount.

The Economic Truth That Nobody Will Admit: We're Heading Back Toward a Double-Dip

...as you say, the right has been helped by Democrats who lean to the right - or at least have a voter base tilted that way. For the sake of removing as much fuzz from the issue as possible, I routinely throw the highest and lowest scores out and speak to the remaining, but your point is totally correct.

What Is Spencer Bachus's Game?

I sure am tired of having to hear about these destroyers - like this shameless huckster for powerful interests who want to poke at the middle-cla­ss until it bleeds and loses the power to resist complete capitulati­on.

The Economic Truth That Nobody Will Admit: We're Heading Back Toward a Double-Dip

I hear you! For the last 3 years the right has been scaring the middle-cla­ss with threats of throwing workers off payrolls, lowering health benefits, and gutting the promise of employer-b­ased retirement packages. The GOP is single-han­dedly driving consumer confidence through the mud and nobody in working America feels secure enough to spend much - if anything - beyond necessity.



Everybody needs to remember that the workers are the customers and the right is killing the customers.

Ohio Union Bill Poised To Become Law

I'm just waiting for it to hit my state. This is the fight to be in; this is about how many incomes you will need to maintain your middle class lifestyle - we used to do it with one income earner, then you needed two, and what is just around the corner is that 2 1/2 incomes will be needed to stay afloat. Bash back! Stop the GOP - stop the screeching banshees; throw the tea bags away. This is about your children's future place in society and about your responsibi­lity to protect their rights and keep the greed monkeys of the right at bay.

Wisconsin Union Law Battle Has Republicans Facing New Hurdle

Conservati­ve Americans have their head in the Roman clouds. To them, a democracy is as the Romans practiced it - to confirm the choices already made by the influentia­l wealthy dynastic families of the Roman republic. Democracy was most often a formality, with unequal representa­tion - they called the mass of citizens the "head count" and kept no names. The American conservati­ve wants that world to come alive again. Me?... not so much.

South Carolina Lawmakers Take Dim View Of New Light Bulbs

I've spent oodles on different types of bulbs and am way underwhelm­ed by the choices - maybe I should dig deeper, but the big, nagging issue for me is that used CFL bulbs will not disappear, and the amount of mercury that will snake its way into our lives will increase - in land fills and water sources and the carpets of hotel rooms - forever, or until someone figures out how not to use mercury - maybe you.



I am indeed a liberal and I never swallow the rightie line - I've got my own crap-detec­tor. But it's also really true that I know very little about all this, so the chance of me being sold a bunch of bull is quite high, and the inner progressiv­e voice says that profit is driving us to the cliff, not a gladed park.

Wisconsin Union Law Battle Has Republicans Facing New Hurdle

Walker is at the top of my list of malfeasing tea bag enemies of the people of the United States.

Don't believe it? Can't stomach it? Then try some home schooling; teach your kids that the GOP chorus always goes like this: "Cut our taxes; cut your benefits."

South Carolina Lawmakers Take Dim View Of New Light Bulbs

And, I want enough poisonous Mercury in my home to run a small thermomete­r - and not one iota more.

Donald Trump Birth Certificate Released By Potential Presidential Candidate [UPDATED]

This is perfect... Donald Trump is barely out of the chute and he blows it. He asks for Obama's 'proof' of birth, then offers something less about his own birth. No matter what happens now, this is clear evidence - offered by him - that his class, his hair, his judgment, and his value to society is shown to be a poorly documented rumor. Since we are all well aware that Trump has enough money to have any document in the world 'created', anything he now offers will be meaningles­s.

Warren Buffett: Social Networking Sites Are 'Overpriced'

Seems clear to me that the strong desire for a new economic bubble is putting pressure on the system to find one - and if necessary, create it, to perform its magic of providing an expanding pool of profit than can be ridden to the edge of the subsequent crash - which will then be payed for by working taxpayers and the unemployed­. I think that this is how the new wealth-acq­uiring machine works, and it will forever chew up everything in its path, leaving uber gazilliona­ires and serfs.

Indiana Prosecutor Suggested Scott Walker Fake Attack On Himself To Discredit Unions

Indiana Prosecutor Suggested Scott Walker Fake Attack On Himself To Discredit Unions
Carlos Lam resigned in a phone call about 5 a.m. Thursday after acknowledging that he sent the Feb. 19 email to Walker suggesting "the situation in WI presents a good opportunity for what's called a 'false flag' operation."

"If you could employ an associate who pretends to be sympathetic to the unions' cause to physically attack you (or even use a firearm against you), you could discredit the public unions," Lam wrote in the email, which was obtained by The Associated Press.

Cooper said Lam initially denied sending the email and said someone had hacked into his email account. But Lam later acknowledged he had written the message, and resigned hours before the Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism reported the contents publicly Thursday.

"He wanted to come clean, I guess, and said he is the one who sent that email," Cooper told the Daily Journal newspaper in Franklin, south of Indianapolis.

A message left by the AP at a telephone listing for Lam was not immediately returned Thursday.

Lam's email was sent amid daily protests at the Wisconsin Capitol against Walker's plan to take away public employees' rights to collectively bargain for anything except wages no higher than inflation.

"We cannot have the public unions hold the taxpayer hostage with their outrageous demands," said the email, which urged Walker to "stay strong."

Lam is the second Indiana prosecutor to lose his job over volatile comments about the Wisconsin protests. Jeffrey Cox, a deputy attorney general, was fired last month after tweeting that police should use live ammunition against labor protesters.
