I think they will say that austerity is what redudced the deficit. And they could do a lot more if not for President Obama and the democrat's.

The GOP will ignore the deficite comming down....in the same way they have ignored the unemployment numbers falling.......they need to convince the American public that the "sky is falling"....to gin-up any interest in anything they have to say. I want to tell you that my respectable, hard working, Rebublican, friends....are refusing to engage in any discussions, and are citing...."I don't talk politics".....because they don't want to sound foolish, even as they proclaim to be a proud Republican....the poor darlings are suffering an identity crisis.....they no longer identify with the 'Republican platform', but are loathe to become a turncoat...disloyal....a Benidict Arnold....(a Democrat). and they cling to the Republican lable....waiting for the second comming of IKE,....

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:
"Thom Hartmann is a literary descendent of Ben Franklin and Tom Paine. His unflinching observations and deep passion inspire us to explore contemporary culture, politics, and economics; challenge us to face the facts of the societies we are creating; and empower us to demand a better world for our children and grandchildren."
John Perkins, author of the New York Times bestselling book Confessions of an Economic Hit Man
From Screwed:
"Once again, Thom Hartmann hits the bull’s eye with a much needed exposé of the so-called ‘free market.’ Anyone concerned about the future of our nation needs to read Screwed now."
Michael Toms, Founding President, New Dimensions World Broadcasting Network and author of A Time For Choices: Deep Dialogues for Deep Democracy
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."
Paul Loeb, author of Soul of a Citizen and The Impossible Will Take a Little While
