Trickle-down economics is the first cousin of austerity economics. Austerity is nuts when so many millions are out of work. And as we’ve learned before, trickle-down is a fraud. Nothing ever trickles down. - Robert Reich, "A Story for May Day"

Why I Do Not Admire Obama
Pema Levy of TPM:
"[A] hopeful sign" for whom? Need I say more?House Speaker John Boehner on Thursday applauded President Obama's outreach to Republicans, which included dinner with a group of Republican Senators Wednesday night and an upcoming visit with Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI), calling it a "hopeful sign" during a press conference Thursday.
Buddies?

If nothing else, everyone involved got dinner at the Jefferson, one of the most expensive, luxurious hotels in DC . . .
ReplyDeletec, I'm still looking in vain for evidence... any evidence... that Obama ever listens to those who got him elected. Stella says he's actually a Republican, and I'm not one to say she's wrong.
DeletePalm hits forehead, the other reaches for a barf bag.
ReplyDeletekarmanot, I'd do fewer face-palms about Obama if he didn't have some potential. But he is not living up to his potential, and sometimes it feels as if he isn't trying very hard to be anything other than the Republican that Stella says he really is.
