We need Medicare for All now!

I know I’ll get crushed by posting this, but it will be interesting to see why now is not the right time.

Idiot Number One: `Very upsetting to find this water so wet’

Idiot Number Two: `Very shocking to find Trump so dumb’

Pence: 'Very disappointing' to see Obama 'become so political'

I find Idiot Number Three to be the best, but that’s just my humble opinion.

A new exciting program is being readied for you by your Federal government!

Last year, the Cash for Clunkers program provided exceptional return on investment. We've spent tens of trillions of dollars on Wall St banks only to see excessive bonuses for the people who crashed the world's economy, but spending just $3 billion on Cash for Clunkers provided a over half of the GDP increase from the stimulus.

Well, with such excellent return on investment, and in accordance with the recent SCOTUS ruling, the Federal government will be announcing the Cash for Republican Clunkers program!

Just read this in the Wall St Journal:

White House officials notably didn't emphasize that any revised legislation should include a major expansion of health insurance. Expanding coverage to the uninsured was the key plank of the separate health bills passed by the House and Senate last year, but such efforts largely accounted for the about $1 trillion cost of the bills, and Republicans decried them as too costly

I know with the health care debate and all, we been distracted from the Wall St bank fiasco. But we do so at great peril. There remains tremendous economic problems in our country, and these can and will have political implications in 2010 and 2012.

Still wondering what happened during the bank meltdown and what we're doing to fix it? Below is a very clear explanation of what happened and what we're doing or not doing to fix it.

Matthew Richardson and Nouriel Roubini have written an OP ED to the Daily News in support of Tim Geithner's Toxic Asset Plan. Here is the complete OP ED.

But they have some specific suggestions about how the plan is implemented in order to improve our chances for success.

Ok, so the Geithner plan is it. I regard this plan as not optimal, but it's what we have, so how do we improve on it? Here's a couple of suggestions along with a discussion on how we can make them happen:

I may take some flack for this but it cannot be stated strongly enough-

The war on terror is not new and rendition is not a new policy, however both the war on terror and rendition are reaching new lows with Bushco.

Let me explain:

President Bush has started a national dialog about changing Social Security. We are talking about impacting the life of everyone in America. We are talking about spending trillions of federal dollars. We are talking about how the government can spend wisely to best benefit the people. It is time for us to embrace and extend this national dialog. Read More
