You're using the same old Heritage argument from the Reagan years--the Welfare Queen. Even Aghans have VCRs, cell phones and BlueRays. My point is there's no excuse for imbalance of wealth when there's much to be done thereby creating jobs and casting more consump
Granted the special NY election result [Weiner’s seat] was partly to rebuke Obama, but in a heavily Jewish district, the publicized fact that the contestant Democrat and Jew David Weprin voted in favor of New York’s passage of gay marriage, not to mention that Weprin wasn’t monolithically pro-Israel. Of course, the ugliest skeleton in the closet was Weiner himself. The election, therefore, shows that it’s not just the right that goes crazy over socio-ethnic-ethic issue
Once upon a Time the rich got richer and the poor got less poor because of enhanced productivity and its distribution. It was known as sharing in the efforts of capital and labor, NOT redistribution of wealth that today implies the Robin Hood system. Granted, this country is still well off when contrasted with the emerging nations, but we have different standards and the current wealth gap makes the perception virtually amorally embarrassing—if not immoral&mdas
Sunnunu—the acorn doesn’t fall far from the oak—using the same old arguments handed down to him. It’s as though Time planted this " … on the dole" [FOX balance?] to counteract Foroohar’s Keynesian memos. Coming from tax dodging New Hampshire, Sunnunu natu

Unless the Dems acknowledge that what’s a deficit that an income tax hike of ¼% on the poor, ½-1% on the middle class and 2¾- 4½% on the wealthy wouldn’t cure? There should be no floor, "earned income" credit: if you make a buck be prepared to hand over a percentage, however meager it still helps the deficit. Yet, there’s little chance&nbs
“The economic anarchy of capitalist society as it exists today is, in my view, the main cause of our evils. Production is carried on for profit, not for use” methi nks Albert was prophesying the current condition of capitalism.

"Tea party on the basis of their arguments." The recent debates haven't shown much rational power.
The most important action the government can take to ease the economic crisis is to bypass the middle-fiddle manipulators of Wall Street and deal with the thousands of solvent local and regional banks that still exercise sound lending and investment practices. Moreover, there are countless ways to put people to work without having to wait for new technology such as wind turbine grids and high speed rails. Decaying malls and housing are in need of immediate clean up and repair. Many malls in d
Rotten in Denmark is mild contrasted to what’s rotten in the United States. When politicians—such as Hoyer and Cantor— are still vying for funds from the likes of AIG, Bank of America, and Citigroup how can we hope for a clean slate? Even squeaky clean Obama was campaigning on $millions of corporate and union contributions. Other than the truly humanitarian, lobbyists should be chased out of Washington. Politics is so obscenely married to economic self-interests that t
It's not rocket science. The need for Public Works is a foregone conclusion; Furthermore, in order that others can be hired, we have to put an end to lionizing millions who work more than 40 hours a week, especially those who "manly" boast 60-80 hrs. The Labor Department should enforce the law. There should also be a

Jobs Bill? Punish small businesses that chronically violate overtime pay. After eighty years isn’t it time not only to preserve the work week but to incrementally reduce it to 35 hrs in ten years? Solution to malpractice lawsuits is to get rid of grossly incompetent physicians with the same venom the public wants to eliminate teachers. A subcommittee should look into fee-gouging by malpractice insurers. Competent doctors should be partly subsidized for th
