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."
From Cracking the Code:
"No one communicates more thoughtfully or effectively on the radio airwaves than Thom Hartmann. He gets inside the arguments and helps people to think them through—to understand how to respond when they’re talking about public issues with coworkers, neighbors, and friends. This book explores some of the key perspectives behind his approach, teaching us not just how to find the facts, but to talk about what they mean in a way that people will hear."
From Screwed:
"Thom Hartmann’s book explains in simple language and with concrete research the details of the Neo-con’s war against the American middle class. It proves what many have intuited and serves to remind us that without a healthy, employed, and vital middle class, America is no more than the richest Third World country on the planet."
The pharmacuetial industry has had too much control over research and the direction that cures take for too long. The alternative treatments that are allowed in other countries and that have been shown to be effective, but are not allowed here, makes me frustrated.
When any industry has too much control and can control government policies, it is frighting. Look at the NRA, Oil, Health Care, and Pharma.
Are things be done for the welfare and benefit of We The People, or for the profit of those industries?
People, raygun created this fiasco when he made "for profit" health care LEGAL. Wake up! obama the liar is forcing us all to buy into this failed republiCON policy just as he has forced us all to live with the "trickle down" BS.
Dont trust republiCON or democRAT. Both are terrorists.
Demand that the only sane person in washington, Bernie Sanders, take over washington now.
Cancer Causing substances...oil, coal, gas, pesticides, pesticide-drenched Ag Biz, radiation-contaminated fertilizers, dioxin-producing chlorine products galore, etc., are subsidized. And, lawmakers who support those industries, instead of protecting their constituents FROM the abuses of those industries, are subsidized by taxpayers, the victims of those industries.
We are through the looking glass...deeply into Backwards Land.
What must be subsidized are organic crops (foods, fabrics and livestock feed), hemp (to replace logging and pesticide intensive cotton and it's chlorine usage, for starters), public transit (to minimize carcinogenic etc emissions), independent science, medical and otherwise (to eliminate distrust and $elf-$erving results), and...easily Above All, public airwaves (to counter commercial broadcast domination of public informatiion).
Single payer is the only way. Sort of off topic, with regard to the sequester: Yes the poor and soon to be poorer are taking some hits. Another little known hit is education for military. My mom is a prof teaching part time on a nearby military base. Classes are being cut and instructors are losing hours/pay. Many were promised education by recruiters as an incentive to to join. Now that promise is being taken away.
Um, shouldn't that be 'Single-Payor now!'
