I’m afraid that the Teabaggers have now decided that Keynesian economics don’t work either (and they are busily rewriting the history of the Great Depression to make that case). Besides which, Teabaggers don’t think at all, they just regurgitate whatever the right’s carny barkers have told them to say.

Randi Rhodes (nearly) made a great point on her show today:

What do you think the reaction would of been on the Right if Democrats had held a rally suggesting the United States had “lost its honor”?

Much of big and small business in this nation is Republican-owned. The stock market is recovering, businesses are now sitting on some huge profits, YET, they are not hiring. This “uncertainty” meme is the excuse given but is it really about letting Americans suffer just a little bit longer until after the Republicans possibly take over this November and November 2012? Who cares about so many hurting as long as the rich here can continue their opulent lifestyles? We had all of these “problems” under Bush but the pasty-white teabaggers were SILENT until we put a black man in the White House. RACISM is the big elephant in the room, I do believe.

It’s not “socialism” either as Germany is much more socialist than we are now. The REICH-wing here attempts to scare us with the “socialism” meme, too. Yet Germany has a strong economy because they still make and sell/export many things like four of the world’s best automobiles, Mercedes, BMW, Audi, and Volkswagen. Germans also manufacture machinery for the rest of the world. Our greedy American corporations instead have outsourced manufacturing to “slave” laborers in China, India, SE Asia, Pacific basin, and Latin America. Worse yet, these American corporations hide their huge profits in offshore banks to avoid paying taxes and helping to reduce our nation’s debt.

A look at the absurd belief that if we just leave our Recovery up to Corporate America, they’ll solve all our problems for us. The story also refers back to The Great Depression for examples.

I don’t know if this is a case of “Great minds think alike” or an outright ripoff with no attribution to this blog.

Comment on Anatomy of a One-term President. A cautionary tale. by Mugsy

As radio's Thom Hartmann just pointed out on his radio show, President Obama backtracking Saturday on his support for the supposed "Ground Zero Mosque"... which received worldwide praise on Friday... is a perfect example of how he starts out taking the right stand, then allows Republican criticism to morph his earlier position into something more palpable to Conservatives.
