From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann channels the best of the American Founders with voice and pen. His deep attachment to a democratic civil society is just the medicine America needs."
From Screwed:
"I think many of us recognize that for all but the wealthiest, life in America is getting increasingly hard. Screwed explores why, showing how this is no accidental process, but rather the product of conscious political choices, choices we can change with enough courage and commitment. Like all of Thom’s great work, it helps show us the way forward."
From Cracking the Code:
"Thom Hartmann ought to be bronzed. His new book sets off from the same high plane as the last and offers explicit tools and how-to advice that will allow you to see, hear, and feel propaganda when it's directed at you and use the same techniques to refute it. His book would make a deaf-mute a better communicator. I want him on my reading table every day, and if you try one of his books, so will you."
Let me modify that a little. Interest rates are historically low. The government took in almost 800 billion dollars in revenue last year. As the economy improves, people go back to work and the ripple effect increases the revenue. Pretty soon we will be taking in a trillion dollars, then two. President Obama needs to ignore the "debt ceiling" and tell treasury to pay the bills (Hartmann)
Don't blame it all on Congress, austery stems from Wall St and Obama has faithfully represented Wall St interests.
Here we go again... 21st Century rendition of the Guilded Age! Class warfare on steroids. Hey people, this is what we get when we fall asleep at the wheel. Who let the pigs in?! Now we've gotta take back what's ours, like our grandparents and generations before them. When will we ever learn? - Aliceinwonderland
