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."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Through compelling personal stories, Hartmann presents a dramatic and deeply disturbing picture of humans as a profoundly troubled species. Hope lies in his inspiring vision of our enormous unrealized potential and his description of the path to its realization."
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."
Thom, on March 20th you posted a story about a NY Times article exposing how Marco Rubio and other GOP "sabotoaged" the ACA by cutting funding to the "risk corridors" for the health insurance companies that participapted, resulting in a dramtic reduction of what these particippating companies could expect.
Did these cuts take place? If so WHY do the mainstream news interviewing the GOP people that continually mention the withdrawl of participating insurance providers let this go unchallenged. It is maddening to hear them state the ACA is a failure when they caused it, and it is NEVER challenged. I am beginning to wonder if it actually happened.
If this is what happened, we need ALL DEMOCRATS to KNOW this happened and we need to challenge with Twitter and other media (comments to MSNBCs Chuck Todd) for letting these "shiesters" get away with this big lie.
This should be the ONLY thing coming out of the DEM Senators and Congressmen's mouth.
