  • Paul Ryan's "Path" ... Get ready for more Dorothea Lange and Margaret Bourke White Great Depression Era Photos

    If we need the GOP's Congressional "leadership" to show the way when it comes to establishing our  NATIONAL SAFETY NET, we've truly turned the screws on ourselves as a nation. In short, the GOP keeps returning to its old "bloc grant" notions where Washington will send out bloc grants to the states with the simple instructions to governors and state legislatures, "Don't spend it all at once and make sure you tell your constituents the same, because if they still have more 'budgetary year months' left after the money's gone, too bad."

  • Why We Need to Primary Obama

    There seems to be a great amount of concern amongst Obama supporters about the idea that he might – oh no! – face a primary challenge from the political Left.  There’s no reason to fret over this.  Let’s break it down a moment.

    "Filling a twenty-five gallon tank of an SUV with pure ethanol requires 450 pounds of corn, enough calories to feed one person for a year."

     

  • Spread your words of wisdom in a Letter to the Editor..."We have a revenue problem!"

    Thom:

    I reach a certain boiling point of disgust and find my release in writing a Letter to the Editor, inspired by what I learn on your show. Thank you for enlightening us all and encouraging us to take action! 

    It never ceases to amaze me the types of responses many of my letters generate. Very few want to have honest debate and discussion. Why? Because it's far easier to hurl insults, show ridicule, and resort to name calling. They have nothing better to defend their viewpoint.

    Here's what got published in the Tacoma News Tribune:

  • Is this true? If so Why?

    I have been emailed from a conservative friend that the Obama Administration has declined the offer of IBM to root out fraud in Medicare.  This offer was apparently done last fall.  Anyway, is it true and if so, does anyone know why it was declined. 

  • The Right's all Wrong!

     The Government is on the heels of a shut-down and Paul Ryan has the audacity to say the Country does not have a "Tax Problem"... Uhh last time I checked, when the richest 2% of the population don't pay their fair share of taxes, it's a problem. Now he wants to lower corporate tax rates to 25%! This is a horrible idea, they think the economy is bad now? If they get their way with this budget proposal it's going to be really bad. When is the right going to realize that certain spending is necessary and we need all " people " ,including corporations, to pay their fair share of taxes.
