  • RECLAIMING THE ISSUES: BRING BACK THE ELITES

    Submitted by Thom Hartmann A... on 28. September 2008 - 23:25


    MSNBC's Chris Matthews Friday suggested that Barack Obama is "elite" in part because Obama was wearing sunglasses:

    Can Barack Obama, a man of elite education if not elite background,break into the middle class and talk regular?  Can he talk to regular people in their kitchens tonight, in their living rooms? 

    [...] 

    Everybody thinks Barack is too cool.  In other words, there he is with the shades, getting on the plane.  A little bit too elegant, a little bit too proud of his own bearing.  Is that a problem, that he's just too cool for words.  In other words, elite.

    Chris Matthews is wrong.

  • How Wall Street Can Bail Itself Out Without Destroying The Dollar

    Submitted by Thom Hartmann A... on 26. September 2008 - 9:57

    By Thom Hartmann

    For Grover “Drown Government In The Bathtub” Norquist, this bailout deal will work out very well. At a proposed cost of $4,780 per taxpayer, it’ll further the David Stockman strategy of so indebting us that the next president won’t have the luxury of even thinking of new social spending (expanding health care, social security, education, infrastructure, etc.); taxes will even have to be raised just to pay for the bailout.  It’ll debase our currency, driving up commodity prices and interest rates, which will benefit the Investor Class while further impoverishing the pesky Middle Class, rendering them less prone to protest (because they’re so busy working trying to pay off their debt). It’ll create stagflation for at least the next half decade, which can be blamed on Democrats who currently control Congress and, should Obama be elected, be blamed on him.
