The most important action the government can take to ease the economic crisis is to bypass the middle-fiddle manipulators of Wall Street and deal with the thousands of solvent local and regional banks that still exercise sound lending and investment practices. Moreover, there are countless ways to put people to work without having to wait for new technology such as wind turbine grids and high speed rails. Decaying malls and housing are in need of immediate clean up and repair. Many malls in d

Rotten in Denmark is mild contrasted to what’s rotten in the United States. When politicians—such as Hoyer and Cantor— are still vying for funds from the likes of AIG, Bank of America, and Citigroup how can we hope for a clean slate? Even squeaky clean Obama was campaigning on $millions of corporate and union contributions. Other than the truly humanitarian, lobbyists should be chased out of Washington. Politics is so obscenely married to economic self-interests that t

It's not rocket science. The need for Public Works is a foregone conclusion; Furthermore, in order that others can be hired, we have to put an end to lionizing millions who work more than 40 hours a week, especially those who "manly" boast 60-80 hrs. The Labor Department should enforce the law. There should also be a

However, I agree, Olberman is even worse on Current. I' m from the old school: courtesy to women,especially goos looking ones even though I abhor Backmann and Palin.

It really bothers me that MSNBC has taken the route of FOX yellow "journalism." Shouldn't Bill Gates have some say in policy?

Flip the coin to Florida's Representative Allen West.

Jobs Bill? Punish small businesses that chronically violate overtime pay. After eighty years isn’t it time not only to preserve the work week but to incrementally reduce it to 35 hrs in ten years? Solution to malpractice lawsuits is to get rid of grossly incompetent physicians with the same venom the public wants to eliminate teachers. A subcommittee should look into fee-gouging by malpractice insurers. Competent doctors should be partly subsidized for th

Twisting Ideology Ideology was first meant to be science of ideas and policy designed to set in motion societal reform. By the Mid 19 th century it became emotionally charged by religious and political delusions bereft of systemic philosophic coherence and hardly worthy of political theory as in such likes of Plato, Hobbes, Hegel, Kant and the Federalist Papers. Because he aligned his work with Hegel—thereby erroneously
