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."
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."
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."
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.
