Please welcome David Sirota to the list of people pointing left and saying “Excuse me, the Center is over there!”
It turns out that 85% of us — 17 out of 20 people — are no longer snowed by the rosy “official” economic numbers and are “unhappy” with the economy. The “unhappiness” among Blacks and Latinos is higher. Couldn’t have anything to do with the “decoupling” of traditional measures from reality? Maybe everybody will feel better when that minimum wage hike begins next week.
Two thoughts on Fannie, neither of them happy. Nice of you boys to catch up with me on this one. It only took a financial crisis!
Fiscal responsibility turns out to be nothing more than an empty campaign promise. At least, for many Republicans.
Jill put it best, “Perhaps this will put an end to the idea that the private sector does everything better”.
Iraq and the US are close to agreeing on troop cuts. It’s about time. They have been trying to step up so we would step down for some time now!
And in closing, some doctors are cutting out the middleman, insurance companies. Personally, I think this is a step in the right direction. After all, if enough doctors and patients refuse to play in the for-profit system, something will have to change if insurance companies want to remain in business.
Have a great weekend!
