    Study: Romney plan raises taxes on poor families

    Apparently Romney supports a reverse Robin Hood economic policy. Increases taxes on the poor, so the rich can get more tax breaks. Oh yeah, and the plan also adds $600 billion to the deficit. Clearly the GOP is not the party of the rich and are fiscal conservatives. :doh:

    Tea Party Nation to Small Businesses: Stop Hiring

    Well, here's a resolution the Tea Party thinks small businesses should make: Many from the right continue to show their true colors, they're more concerned about political victories than helping the economy. I guess they'd rather tank the economy to hurt Obama and are encouraging people to...

    54% view OWS favorably, only 27% view TP favorably

    Clearly only 27% of respondents are Real™ Americans. This is looking good, its time we start making government work for all people, not just the rich elite. Looks like America agrees, too. The Morning Plum - The Plum Line - The Washington Post

    Source: Obama says he'll risk job for debt deal

    I wonder how many Republicans, or any politicians really for that matter, would be willing to commit political suicide in sticking to their guns. Obama is really starting to emerge as a true leader in sticking up to the GOP and their childish antics. Obama is willing to swallow a poisonous...

    House GOP had no problem with a $23 trillion debt a few months ago

    Seems the Republicans aren't really serious about fiscal responsibility. So many are screaming how we shouldn't raise the debt ceiling and doing so is a terrible idea. Yet every single House GOP are on record supporting a plan that would raise the debt by $9 trillion dollars over the next 10...

    McConnell: no real deficit deal until Obama is gone

    So McConnell is showing his true colors as an immature cry baby. First he says that his number one priority was making sure Obama is not reelected, and now he is refusing to even work with Obama, all at the expense of the country. The GOP is showing its true colors as servants of the rich...

    Republicans refuse to listen to Americans

    19 polls show that Americans favor tax increases for the wealthy, yet Republicans refuse to consider them. Seems to me Republicans are refusing to listen to the American Public. This is looking more and more that compromise has become a one way street - GOP wants compromise so long as they...

    Philly DA saves $2 million not prosecuting pot smokers

    I wonder how much money could be saved and how much law enforcement resources would be freed up nationwide if cities adopted Philly's program? This program seems great to me - we still need full legalization, but this is a start. Saves money and doesn't ruin lives over a victimless "crime"...

    The Mother of All No-Brainers

    A good read. The Republicans are being offered a yard in spending cuts in exchange for an inch of increasing revenue. Yet they are showing themselves to be childish, immature, and incapable of compromise. The GOP really is in desperate need of someone intelligent and with a level head to...

    How Today's Conservatism Lost Touch with Reality

    I thought this was a pretty good read, pointing out how today's Republicans have a major disconnect from ideology and reality. I wish a level-headed person would emerge from the Republicans to lead their party back to sanity and reality. It would be WONDERFUL for the country to have a healthy...

    Secret Guantanamo Files, New Insights: Hundreds Held 'Just in Case.'

    Less than a third of people who went to Gitmo were thought to be terrorists, the rest apparently in the wrong place at the wrong time. All the more reason and evidence that operations like this never should have happened and at the very least should have had oversight (i.e. a fair trial to...

    The Truth about Taxes

    I only quoted the bulleted points, each one is explained in detail in the article. Definitely worth reading. Supply-side economics is a failure. Tax cuts for the rich only benefit the rich at the expense of everyone else. After 30 years all we have to show for it are a bunch of super rich...

    The New Normal

    He raises some interesting points. Specifically I like his notion of if we're cutting budgets, to make every one hurt (Defense, SS, Medicare all come to mind). I think he also has some good points about how by cutting money to try and save our future, we're hurting it by cutting things like...

    Don't you just love the hypocrisy!!

    Interesting piece that puts things in perspective. I remember year or so ago Republicans were crying bloody foul for Dems trying to force partisan legislation that was on their agenda. Now Republicans are forcing partisan legislation in Wisconsin, and the Dems are crying bloody foul. I...
