It's all of us...It's not just you, One Fly. It's all of us here (at least). We know and agree with you. The question remains though, how do we enable the rest of the population to get involved (which seems the only way we can stop this death train)? Right, Lisa and TC? Love your Stiglitz idea, TC. Dean Baker for Treasury Secy too! You beat me by one day on the Iraq analysis.<br /><br /><i>There's a reason 12,000,000 or more marched in protest around the world on 2/15/03. We did so because we knew that the coming invasion of Iraq was being done for the lies of a few. They all knew that but not here.</i><br /><br />Good to have you back, GDM! We missed you this week. We all need a break though. And I'm not holding my breath either as they are only looking to pay off more Congresscritters to get out of any re-regulation, certainly not any type of honorable behavior.<br /><br /><i>What are their motivations to help us?

I'd like to see that too.<br /><br />Thanks for commenting, friends.<br /><br />On to the Revolution?<br /><br />Yuk.

We are now at the mercy of the ...Suzan, this is it. We are now at the mercy of the corporations and the corporate media. Nader's book, "Only The SuperRich Can Save Us", has a valid ring to it because the last 30 years of corporate funded (and sometimes written) legislation existed to empower the rich and un-empower the middle class and poor. The final nail in the middle class coffin is the latest SCOTUS ruling on corporations and campaign finance influence. So now that we have no voice in the "democratic process", the only ones who can help are the superrich. What are their motivations to help us? Hmmm... none that I can think of. So I won't be holding my breath.

I suggested Stiglits as a replacement for Summers. As for Iraq, I told friends that the invasion was coming on the afternoon of 9/11.<br /><br />Fascinating article, Suzan.TomCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11397335545286040472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3397167328061019765.post-9064377917550619662010-01-23T15:39:23.769-05:002010-01-23T15:39:23.769-05:00Those bankers knew exactly what they were doing an...Those bankers knew exactly what they were doing and so did the people who packaged those toxic mortgages into CDS's and CDO's.<br /><br />Anyone with half a brain knew that Bush and Cheney were lying about the Iraq war. I certainly did and we had no provocation to attack a sovereign country. Another 4000 dead Americans, countless Iraqis and the Treasury bled dry.
