Forget Goldman, Start Worrying About the Government

What we are increasingly witnessing is the merging of government and corporate power. Fascism.

You don't blame JUST the government or JUST the corporation for fascism - at least not when they've both entered into the relationship without coercion, which is clearly the case here. You blame them both. The author is right to point out that there should be more focus on the government's role in this, but Goldman deserves every bit of ridicule they've been receiving as well.

Turning Japanese: The Audacity of Reality (Part 3 of 3)

Another excellent article Mr. Quinn.

Regarding the politicians wanting to "help". It seems the Dems think the solution is to spend, and charge it. The GOP solution is to cut taxes, and charge it.

Being a taxpayer I slightly prefer the latter to the former, but better still is a third solution. Cut taxes AND spending.

Imagine what a BIG tax cut would do for everybody's psychology, IF spending were cut an equal amount so people knew that the tax cut was REAL and not simply based on a scheme to put off paying for it.
