Naked Republican Power
Richard Shelby of Alabama has demonstrated how a single Republican senator, though a member of the minority party, can prevent the president of the U.S. from doing his job. Shelby used a hold to prevent the confirmation of not 1 but of 70 executive appointees merely to gain some pork for Alabama. An excellent example of the exercise of naked Republican power through obstructionism.

Bonuses for Economy Destroyers
Huge financial corporations, such as Goldman Sachs, have gambled away our money with financial transactions none of us understands. They outsmarted themselves and were on the verge of complete failure, when we, the people, bailed them out. This was done to prevent a total collapse of our economy. But these financial people still believe they are not ordinary people. They believe they deserve tens of million and even hundreds of millions of dollars in bonuses.

General Motors for President
Do you like any of the current Republican president-wannabe's, such as Romney and Pawlenty? Or do you prefer the great Teabagger Sarah Palin? None of these or other conservative people under consideration for the most important job in America are remotely as capable as General Motors.

Sold, Sold, Sold to the Corporations
We have a Supreme Court that is supposed to interpret the Constitution and the laws of the land in a way that increases the democratic voice of all our people. What the Court has done in the Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission case is nullify the voice of real people and amplify the voice of ersatz people: corporations. The Supreme Court sold our democracy to the corporations.

Improving Economy by Legalizing Undocumented
What does comprehensive immigration reform have to do with improving our economy? It may not be immediately obvious, but a little thought will show that there is a strong connection between the two. As a matter of fact, a recent UCLA study shows that comprehensive immigration reform that includes an earned path to legalization of undocumented immigrants would boost our economy in a big way.

We, the People, Are Too Big to Fail
All Americans that are not fat-cat bankers are upset, frustrated and furious against the Mega Banks that have taken our savings and used securities that nobody understands to make themselves super-rich and to produce the second Great Depression for the rest of us. We bailed them out because they were "too big to fail." In response, they are continuing the wild behavior that has ruined our economy. What can we, the people, do?

An Open Letter to KOS
KOS, your progressive voice is a strong, eloquent, and persistent battle cry against the monstrously nihilistic conservative Republicans who are trying to tear our society apart. You were a prime force in getting President Obama and the Democratic Congress elected. Now you are pushing them to achieve progressive legislation, especially health care reform. However, your exertions against bipartisanship and your continued fight for the already-defeated public option only serve to pull Republicans into the next Congress.

We Must Break-up Too-Big-to-Fail Firms
So-called too-big-to-fail financial corporations deserve a major slice of the blame for the economic disaster we are now in. Yet, because they are too-big-to-fail we bailed them out. Now they are in the process of becoming bigger. The only way to prevent them from being too-big-to-fail is to break them up. Too-big-to-fail is too-big-to-exist.

A New Political Compass
As I have stated in my previous post I think that the current RIGHT-LEFT political dichotomy should be replaced with a BUSINESS-PEOPLE dichotomy in order to provide us with a clearer political compass. This new compass demonstrates the need for a new political party that better represents individual people - a People Party.
