Robert Reich is right, the so called conservatives aren't conservatives! They are regressives.

A real conservative would say we need to get out of the recession, the way you get out is to employ people directly! Because I'm a real conservative and not a regressive, I'm going to make sure government money is spent wisely!

They aren't socio paths, they are abusive perpertrators who define what other people are. Jill Stein said we need to break with this abusive crowd!

Jesse Jones made sure the reconstruction finance corporation books balanced making the depression era public bank a success.

Over the long term the banks make money too. They just don't want to report the write down on their books, take their loss in the short term.

Debt deflation is short term thinking which will crash the system.

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Never one to shy away from the truth, Thom Hartmann’s collected works are inspiring, wise, and compelling. His work lights the way to a better America."
Van Jones, cofounder of RebuildTheDream.com and author of The Green Collar Economy
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Right through the worst of the Bush years and into the present, Thom Hartmann has been one of the very few voices constantly willing to tell the truth. Rank him up there with Jon Stewart, Bill Moyers, and Paul Krugman for having the sheer persistent courage of his convictions."
Bill McKibben, author of Eaarth
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a creative thinker and committed small-d democrat. He has dealt with a wide range of topics throughout his life, and this book provides an excellent cross section. The Thom Hartmann Reader will make people both angry and motivated to act."
