Obama ensures Defense Contractors won’t go without: “UAE signs $1.4 billion defense contracts, including drones” from privately-owned U.S. firm General Atomics

Both options are possible, but the first is most likely, so I voted yes. The defense budget seems to be their only concern, which should concern most Americans if they were enlightened as to the extent of the domestic cuts and how it would affect them personally.

Count on it. Their sacred little death merchants will always be fat and happy as ticks no matter what happens to the rest of us suckers. - Alice I.W.

Just like Aliceinwonderland says: NO WAR PROFITEER DEATH MERCHANT LEFT BEHIND!!. At least not if the Greedy Oil Party has something to say about it.

I WATCHED THE C-SPAN HEARINGS AND THEY ALREADY ARE, CRYING ABOUT HOW THE TRILLION CUTS WILL GET APPLIED TO SERVICEMEN. WOMEN GETTING LET GO AND THEIR HEALTHCARE CUT RATHER THAN TALK ABOUT ANY APPLYING ANY CUTS TO THE DRONES OVER USA PROGRAMS OR AMERICAN SURVEILLANCE OR THEIR OWN TOP RANKING MILITARY EXTRAVAGANT SALARIES AND BONUSES, ETC.

LOOKS LIKE OBAMA WILL NEED TO BOTH SIGN AN EXECUTIVE ORDER, OUTLINE A REGULATED PLAN SPECIFYING EXACTLY HOW THE TRILLION(S) MUST BE APPLIED AND, MAY I ADD, THAT THE MONEY SHOULD COME OUT OVER HIS OWN FOUR YEAR TERM AND NOT OVER TEN YEARS AND MAYBE THAT TRILLION SHOULD BE INCREASED TO TWO TRILLION AND TAKE THE SECOND TRILLION CUT 100 PERCENT DIRECTLY TO APPLY TO THE NATIONAL DEFICIT,

Everyone: Progressives, Dems, the Prez, all need to step up and fight these Brownshirt Republican maniacs tooth and nail this time. They, Conservatives, have had their way too long. It is time to reverse course, tax the rich, stabilize government and offer a chance for opportunity to the people.

Thom's Blog Is On the Move

Hello All

Thom's blog in this space and moving to a new home.

Please follow us across to hartmannreport.com - this will be the only place going forward to read Thom's blog posts and articles.

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"In an age rife with media-inspired confusion and political cowardice, we yearn for a decent, caring, deeply human soul whose grasp of the problems confronting us provides a light by which we can make our way through the quagmire of lies, distortions, pandering, and hollow self-puffery that strips the American Dream of its promise. How lucky we are, then, to have access to the wit, wisdom, and willingness of Thom Hartmann, who shares with us here that very light, grown out of his own life experience."
Mike Farrell, actor, political activist, and author of Just Call Me Mike and Of Mule and Man
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Beneath the success and rise of American enterprise is an untold history that is antithetical to every value Americans hold dear. This is a seminal work, a godsend really, a clear message to every citizen about the need to reform our country, laws, and companies."
Paul Hawken, coauthor of Natural Capitalism and author of The Ecology of Commerce
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."
Tom Hayden, author of The Long Sixties and director, Peace and Justice Resource Center.
