If the unemployment situation in this country were a cyclical issue (which
most people assume) than jobs would be being created left and right at this
point. We’d be well on our way back towards a more normal and acceptable
unemployment level. Unfortunately, this isn’t happening. Despite an “
improving economy” as we’re told.
Now I would still debate the level of improvement in the economy – because
I think there are two economies. One for big business and one for small

Well, the House passed the “cut, cap, and balance” budget bill, largely on
partisan lines, and now it’s in the hands of the Senate, where it is
almost guaranteed to be defeated. And even if it isn’t, it faces a nigh-
certain presidential veto.
So, real waste of time, right?
I don’t think so.
Note that this is the second budget bill to come out of the House this year.
The first was the infamous “Ryan plan,” crafted largely by Congressman
Paul Ryan, and its merits ... 阅读全帖 |

How are we to understand the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) movement? Is it, as
many on the left insist, a commendable reaction to "obscene" inequalities in
wealth? Or is it, as according to the right, a union-financed, thinly
disguised Obama-supported ruse to stir up egalitarian envy? Both
interpretations are partially valid, but let me offer a different take, and
one that links OWS to countless similar political outcroppings that have
flourished since the 1960s.
