The Greek's will revolt once the cuts start affecting their ever-decreasing income. They were fooled by lies; but, open those eyes and watch what they do.

Damn right they're getting a raw deal, just like the teabag austerity lie in this country.

Let the rich grab everything via Reaganomics and, "unregulated capitalism,"........then blame the resulting economic crash on the 99% for out of control entitlements and living beyond their means...... oh, I almost forgot, those overpaid union workers!

In my opinion, actually it's a simple fact these days, an increase in wages is a correction, redirecting wealth to those among us who both created and were entitled to it in the first place... go France!

Almost everyone I ask, have never heard of the Ryan budget plan let alone Paul Ryan. Thanks to shows like Meet The Press, the average citizen remains lost in a rightwing hell, destined to vote for David Gregory's best interests and against their own!

No coverage in Philly! .......should have invited a dozen teabaggers wearing tricorns and waving Ben Franklin designed, French and Indian war snake flags!

Thank goodness we have a few like Thom, Mike Papantonio, and Senator Sanders involved in the mass media and fighting like hell for all of us 99.9%ers!

Let's hope that the United States can learn a lesson from French economics! Hopefully President Hollande will prove to the world that austerity is not the only way to balance a budget. The wealthy in France seem to be more willing to spend money to improve their society. When will we return to that sense of "social contract?"

Thanks for continually pointing this out, Thom.

Big concern! In fact we're creating this mess by producing so much CO2 in industries. I agree that it requires for our advanced living but we also have to aware of our environment and lately it's not supporting as our desired rate so we should take care of it for our own profit. As soon we can start it it'll give us the positive feedback. Hope for the best. Thanks for your apprehension. http://www.junocopywriting.com/

The GOP cannot buy our vote if we don't sell it to them, and the only way we'll truly lose is if we don't do everything we can to get people ID's if they don't have them and get out the vote. Volunteer to register voters. Go to you local office and call voters and get people to sign up to vote by mail because there's a much higher turnout that way. I think we will take the day and re-elect our President and am making sure I do all I can to get voters out and educate low information voters about what is going on and how important their vote will be. f I am wrong and we lose, I will never say to myself that I didn't do all I could to save my country from the Plutocrats. I am not a PollyAnna, I am 68 years old and was for years an "Eisenhower Republican" like my dad, who was a WWII and Korean War Veteran. I changed my registration when GWB took us into Iraq in a trumped up war as if he had no care for the fact that our veterans, who are our children, husbands, wives, sisters, brother, would die there for nothing. The Republican Party has gone over to the dark side and use money and lies and guile and other serpents tricks to get their way and buy their country and then sell us off to the highest bidder of their rich unfettered corporate buddies. My dad died in 2009 at 92 years old, but not before he had voted for President Obama in 2008 saying "I don't recognize the Republicans anymore...they're mean now". I don't intend to give up this fight. It's my country too...my dad fought hard to save it for me and I won't give it up easily.

We depend on it, too, considering there will be blowback from any European economic meltdown. We are all now victims of Larry Summers economic libertarianism and the disastrous era of "financial innovation" along with the 700+ trillion dollar swaps market bubble that is running on empty, is stretched to maximum, is still without capital requirements, and is the means by which money has been extracted to the banking monopolies and into the 1/3 of all the world's money that is in tax havens -- the biggest heist of history.

And Fox News still thinks it's all Obama and big government to blame. They aren't just spreading ignorance, they're spreading foolhardiness. Our debt is only 15 trillion. JP Morgan under the thief Jamie Dimon (who owns the Senate), owns 55 trillion just in one type of extremely toxic derivative. That's over three times the U.S. debt. Please tell me why the Tea Party wants to hold American government hostage again this year over the "debt crisis." The right-wing I came from has gone totally nuts.

Not sure how to vote on this one. The choices seem limited. These suppression tactics can be circumvented.... do what we used to do back in the day to get folks out to vote. Get volunteers at the local party HQ to go through lists of voters in the area and make calls asking if anyone needs a ride to the ID place and help get them IDs, and if needed help get them to the polls on election day. A little effort could go a long way.

Their mabe some republicans who will not able to vote

And let's hear it for those fantastic Europeans for overwhelmingly turning down ACTA... the 3rd(?) attempt at destroying our on-line freedom and privacy by wealthy mobsters and crooked politicians bent on ripping us all off. The artists deserve a certain amount of protection...but those mobster corporations, the middle-men, don't. And it originated in the US, in secret, and thanks to Wikileaks we all found out just how horrible it would have been if this were made law.

Obama's "more open government" has been the most secretive, and conniving, and goes after whistle-blowers who report government and corporate wrongdoing.

Thank the almighty Flying Spaghetti Monster for his wisdom and beneficence for putting these evil men back into the box...for a little while longer. Praise FSM!

I noticed a big greyish van at the light house, on Monday, that had an internet address on the side....trackandin.de
I looked it up on the internet and although the site is in German and had to do the Google translation....looks like it is a very adventurous group of young people who have driven that van many, many 10s of thousands of miles all across very rugged paths and roadways zig-zagging through South American towns and villages in the Andes, Peru, Argentina, Bolivia, Altiplano, and Tierra del Fuego and documenting it all with many thousands of photos..maps...and videos..advice...and a GPS route planner that they sell on CDs. Kind of pricey for me but for someone who could afford it, who might be interested in a great arm-chair adventure, or who might be interested in making such a trip themselves, it would we well worth it.

At 71, I seem to be the youngest of two others here, but old enough to know better then to buy into political lies. My eyes were opened last year when I discovered FSTV and then Thom's show and also by watching the idiots in action on C-Span. Unless the President gets more involved in investigating these voter suppression laws, the election is up for grabs by whoever is the best hacker.

The comments I've seen so far lead this 81 year old veteran to say, "I guess the world/planet is flat afterall. Because a lot of people must have 'sailed off the edge to believe that liberals or progressives or democrats or whatever you want to call us, ever want to suppress anyone who wants to vote from being able to do so. Gee whiz, maybe i'm just 'an old geezer' who sailed off the edge too....
