From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"With the ever-growing influence of corporate CEOs and their right-wing allies in all aspects of American life, Hartmann’s work is more relevant than ever. Throughout his career, Hartmann has spoken compellingly about the value of people-centered democracy and the challenges that millions of ordinary Americans face today as a result of a dogma dedicated to putting profit above all else. This collection is a rousing call for Americans to work together and put people first again."
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."
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"If you wonder why and when giant corporations got the power to reign supreme over us, here’s the story."
Bagger run GOP are disgusting blocking stalling lying creeps . Now I feel better Signed Former GOP voter who got educated
Oh come on...both of those are true.
Tom, it was an honor meeting you at the Blue State Ball in Minnesota. So sorry for the adversity you've experienced in your family over the recent months. Your presentation was very moving. Peace!
I must agree LibyMn - Both of the questions are true. But we shouldn't stand still and take it any more, instead put it right back in their obstructionist faces. Just concentrate on bringing back our manufacturing base, and puting people back to work in meaningful middle clas paying jobs.
It does my heart good to see input from folks like "dianhow" who declare themselves "former GOP voters". And congratulations for getting educated! Even when the truth hurts, we're better off knowing it.
To answer Thom's question: You bet they will. Those ditto heads are so predictable!
Any slow down related to cuts in defense are fine - its a discreet event and move toward a better world.
I actually agree with both questions, but I had to choose. I really think that both scenarios are true since they both follow the logic, such as it is, of the far right coalition in the Republican Party these days. If spending by the government decreases and the GDP drops, then their answer is to further decrease spending. Same logic seems to apply to guns where more guns are better then fewer guns. Their logic is not logical.
