Robert Kuttner: Recovery Now, Deficits Later
December 8, 2010
"We have to build one movement, so that Obama either acts like the progressive president we thought we elected in 2008, or we get someone else to run against him." Robert Kuttner, co-founder of the American Prospect isn't pulling any punches with his disappointment in Obama and his advisers. "It's his own temperamental desire to build bridges complimented with bad advice."
Bill Fletcher Jr., Robert Kuttner, and Tax Cuts
December 7, 2010
"This is about crushing the power of working people, we should be very clear," says Bill Fletcher, Jr. of the attacks on federal workers' pay. Freezing their wages isn't enough; some, like Rand Paul, say they should actually be cut. It's all more proof, Bill notes, that no compromise will be enough for Republicans, whether it's tax cuts or pay freezes or any other supposed economic recovery or deficit reduction tactics.
The F Word: Welcome to Recovery for the Rich
August 4, 2010
Welcome to the recovery! That's what Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner wrote in the New York Times this week. And such good news! We've all been waiting to be told that the economy was improving, after all.
Farai Chideya, Independent Voters, and Honduras
April 19, 2010
Tea Party crowds held protests last week for tax day, but recent articles and polls have laid more blame for the anger at Obama at the feet of a deep-seated racial anxiety among certain sectors of Americans. "We have to embrace the fact that America is still going through a racial crisis," notes multimedia journalist and former NPR host Farai Chideya.
The F Word: Economy is in the Eyes of the Beholder
April 19, 2010
Beauty's in the eye of the beholder, especially, apparently, the beauty of bailouts. In the U.S. right now, some see robust growth, others a limping progress. Some see unemployment edging down, others see it spiking up. It's all about the beholder.
Rory O'Connor, Michael Wolff, and the Economy
April 5, 2010
A new report shows that U.S. soldiers tampered with the scene of the deaths of three women, including digging bullets out of the bodies, to cover up their involvement. Are the new procedures for the war under General McChrystal really minimizing civilian casualties, as they are supposed to?
The F Word: Shaky Foundations for the Economy
April 5, 2010
Two earthquakes, two vastly different consequences. If anything makes you appreciate solid foundations (not to mention building codes), it's the sight of those San Diego buildings swaying -- but not falling -- in Sunday's 7.0 quake; the same size quake that devastated Haiti.
Remaking the Economy or Geithner's Image?
March 16, 2010
A spate of profiles of Timothy Geithner hit the news recently, from Vogue to the Atlantic and several places in between. Most of them seem to sound an optimistic note on the Treasury Secretary and former chief of the New York Federal Reserve, but we ask a couple of experts what's really going on with the economy--and if Geithner deserves any of that praise.
The F Word: Credit Where Due, Geithner
March 16, 2010
We talked about the economy today, and whether Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner deserves more credit. What he should be getting credit for, it seems to me, is that Lehman Brothers report -- well, not the report, but the cover-up.
