This is sad that Sen. Cruz has health care paid by all of us would stop the uninsured from getting help. What a shame on him he does not have the backing of the GOP in the Senate

You must know that this is called GREED, not caring about the poor, and working people?...

they get their ability to stay rich, and above the law? from who???

SOLUTIONS ...

cut all war spending and declare PEACE! shut down all the military bases around the world, we are not the policeman of the world...we have no right to tell other countries what to do with WMD, the US bombed millions in Japan, and hirosima for our tests...they are still suffering! and DRONES KILL WOMEN AND CHILDREN EVERDAY, INCLUDING THE INNOCENT people, all the poor countries we gave money (aid for peace? or food, or bases) using our tax dollars! The US has lost all morale value, and any spiritual growth.

We need to return to the PEACE CORPS and start feeding the hungry, and clean up our act...start with GREEN RENEWABLE CLEAN SUSTAINABLE ENERGY NOW....do you know that 300 tons of nuclear waste are spilling into the ocean every day!!! this is WMD!!!! planetary exstintion...we need to be infored with the truth!!! no more lies by corrupt congress....go green, recycle Congress!!

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 Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Hartmann combines a remarkable piece of historical research with a brilliant literary style to tell the grand story of corporate corruption and its consequences for society with the force and readability of a great novel."
David C. Korten, author of When Corporations Rule the World and Agenda for A New Economy
From Screwed:
"Hartmann speaks with the straight talking clarity and brilliance of a modern day Tom Paine as he exposes the intentional and systematic destruction of America’s middle class by an alliance of political con artists and outlines a program to restore it. This is Hartmann at his best. Essential reading for those interested in restoring the institution that made America the envy of the world."
David C. Korten, author of The Great Turning and When Corporations Rule the World
From Screwed:
"If we are going to live in a Democracy, we need to have a healthy middle class. Thom Hartmann shows us how the ‘cons’ have wronged this country, and tells us what needs to be done to reclaim what it is to be American."
