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.Chris Hedges: Our Moral Collapse
March 25, 2009“Our moral collapse is as terrifying, and as dangerous, as our economic collapse,” Chris Hedges writes in his weekly column at Truth Dig. Obama doesn’t have much time left. If he continues to listen to Geithner, Summers et al. his presidency may be doomed.The F Word: It's not the Lobbying, it's the Agreeing!
January 28, 2009With Geithner, Patterson and Summers/Rubins ruling the roost, it’s not lobbying -- meaning efforts to persuade -- that stand between we the people and change we can believe in. It’s the stultifying level of agreement.
