Government MUST be open about Ebola, first case in the USA found in Dallas Texas
It was just reported that the first Ebola victim discovered in the US is being treated in Dallas Texas. It is imperative that information flow freely around this situation. Keep the response open sourced. Let people track developments closely. I...
If you had assets before 2008 you’re probably doing fairly well, If you didn’t, well sorry
The great disconnect continues. Those who are tapped into the (crony) financialized system have seen their stocks and bonds do well as the market has ridden a Federal Reserve created bubble. Those who do not have assets, or only real...
Report: Corrupt Veterans Affairs Executive Lied Under Oath, Engaged In Fraud
There are so many tragedies associated with the VA medical system. Imagine being a vet who had to rely on the VA to survive. It’s easy for us to poo poo the corruption at the agency but I imagine it’s...
Do the Democrats really want to become THE corporatist party?
Both major parties are corporatist parties and both have been for a long time. But Dems seem to be signalling that they are interested in cozying up even closer to crony corporate America.
No, America Isn’t Communist; It’s Only 70% Communist
Think we’re being over the top here? We’re not. I always have to laugh when people talk about how the “free market” has failed etc. etc. We don’t have a free market. We have a deeply regulated and highly crony...

Look, this comes from John Oliver who has no love for libertarians or objectivists. (At least as far as I can tell.) Saying that I am still a fan and every once in a while when his statism doesn’t get...
The young can’t fund the old. Our entitlement state no longer works. This is perhaps the West’s greatest challenge.
When I was in college one of the first op-eds I ever wrote was on Social Security in the college newspaper. I argued that with the the baby boom generation getting ready to retire (this was the late 1990s) we...
Ben Swann: New Details Emerge on Operation Fast and Furious as Second Judge Orders Release of Documents
You have to hand it to the administration. They have obfuscated and generally played the “time game” with all sorts of things quite effectively. This scandal. The Benghazi scandal. The IRS scandal. I’m probably missing a few.
“Inventor” of World Wide Web warns of threat to internet
And we’re not talking about Al Gore. (Forgive me the joke wake just teed up.) Tim Berners-Lee has called for an Internet “Magna Carta” for cyberspace.
Progressive education reformer tries to do the right thing, is attacked by “progressive” teachers unions
The idea that schools are supposed to serve students first and teachers second doesn’t seem like a radical idea. Let’s be frank, for pretty much everyone this is just assumed. But it is NOT assumed by the teacher’s unions, especially...
Undercover tape emerges. Surprise! The Fed and Goldman Sachs work hand in glove.
One of the problems with the attached article is that it implies that the reason Goldman pulled the things it did and does is because the Federal Reserve, the regulator, wasn’t and isn’t strong enough to curtail Goldman’s power. The...
